D3 breakdown. What do you do?

Hi Ean,
The Faultmate is a bit more that that, nearly double I think. Mine paid for itself when I got water in the tranny module, it diagnosed the problem and then reset all the clutches in the gearbox and everything else it had to as part of the install new tranny unit and reset process. Wouldn't be with out it now, a really good "electronic screw driver". Cost a bit when you change vehicles as I do, especially when you buy a one vehicle at a time license.
The people at Blackbox solutions are really helpful, being in Cyprus creates its own little problems but overall a great unit and a great company.

At least this is what they tell me on the telephone but I can not see this in their policy book.

Maybe someone else can provide clarification here.

When we do trips with friends, we make sure all have comprehensive insurance and Total Car (or equivalent). We have had to use it a few times over the years, getting back from Cooper Pedy, Halligans Bay and Dargo.
In each case, we had to tow the broken vehicle to a gazetted road I (I guess because they are 2WD accessible), in order for the towtruck to find us and pick it up. Well worth the invstment.
