Fair play putting your life at risk. The sooner they reinstate the hard shoulder the better. If those idiots in charge spent the money they are taking off motorists on improving the road network every bodies lives would be safer and more stress free. I know I’m stating the obvious.

[@TruckinAboutWithSteve]

It's no different to A1, A14 or A50. They never had hard shoulders

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Got some big videos dropping soon motorway related…

[@ricksNZ]

Thanks Greg. Great to see Highways onto it covering your back on the M6 'live lane flat tire job'. In my youth I had a very similar 'loose/lost wheel' incident on a gravel road and had to pinch a few wheel nuts to get going again. Blame the mechanic who was DIY me 😞Thanks for the content, its all very much appreciated.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Thanks for the comment and watch! GDB

[@elliottsw]

I've had two garages do this to me - luckily I caught it both time by checking the nuts when I got home. The first one left all five bolts finger tight, the other time they over tightened the nuts so much that the hub studs sheared off. Luckily I noticed this when I had two out of five remaining... had to replace the whole hub.

[@stuinNorway]

In fairness to him, the tyre, and wheel, were flat.... ... on the ground.

[@sarahfrith1984]

This is exactly what I came to the comments to say 😂😂😂

[@m1pete]

The tire and wheel were fine, the problem was that the wheel nuts were 2 miles back, up the road. someone forgot the tighten the nuts properly. You would have thought that the driver would have felt the vibration on the steering.

[@safedave9689]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

😂😂😂

[@richardlaw5737]

The garage that worked on the car will not accept any responsibility for the wheel Loss, 💯 on the paperwork if will say wheel nuts need checking after 50miles

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Preety obvious they were not torqued up anyway!

[@richardlaw5737]

@@GDBRescueandrecovery probably put the wheel on and went for tea break, then come back and forgot 🤒

[@markfoden765]

Geeze that guy is definitely all there is he ffs,did you charge him more as it wasn't as straightforward?cheers greg👊👍

[@mathewhinton3321]

Love the content

Many thanks for tuning in from the other side of the ocean!

That guy! If brains were dynamite he would only suffer a mild headache

[@mrbadger9920]

He wouldn't even blow his hat off

[@alexwade9797]

Good job you took the truck eh! But saying that the mighty iveco tyre truck would have still coped!.💪💪

[@Guccit865]

Perfect morning, live lane ,scrap heap car, and half wit customer.

[@123MondayTuesday]

How come you didn't recover Mat Armstrong the other day? Surely you'd have got him back to his garage for less than £1,400 lol

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

😂😂😂 i did comment on that video said i would of done it for free for a shout out 😂 £1400 paying private that was ROUGH costings

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ha ha I offered to as well, now you can see why Mr Crouch drives an Aston!

[@LiamFoxton]

@@Fighting_Torque he drives a Aston because he has a multi million pound company

[@sc00bieskylin34]

[@eddieMurphy11111]

well done , keep safe and thanks for the video

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Thanks alot GDB

[@Ljm1894]

Hi.what makewheel brace do you use ?cheers

[@EGCC4284]

I’m surprised he did not ask you could he just drive off when you re fitted the wheel with a couple of wheel nuts

[@mattm45613]

I had this happen once, took a nut off each wheel then drove it back 60 miles

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

He did at the services lol. I said no chance this is going to a garage

[@robtaylor4462]

Well your quick thinking about picking him up to go to yard to change the alleged flat tyre while outing the sla was lucky for him. I don't get why he didn't tell you. Still good job

[@TheMidnightrider67]

Halfords lifetime warranty trolley jack... am on my 3rd jack bought 1st one 20yrs ago as a halfords professional jack paid £45 for it now on my 3rd jack replaced for free halfords trolley jack ..its now called halfords advanced jack it and costs around £150 .😊 flat tyre ..? Wheel fallen off ? Suppose when English is your 2nd language...its easy to get mixed up 😂

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Good jacks with the life time warranty cant complain!

[@andrewlaybourne1620]

The advance Jack's only have a 3 year guarantee I was caught out with one thinking it was lifetime

[@TheMidnightrider67]

​@andrewlaybourne1620 I just checked your correct changed lifetime warranty to just hand tools ...ill need to be more careful with this jack now lol ...but can't complain as on my 2nd free jack first one I had to buy l😂

[@davecooper3238]

Long time ago, but no longer being allowed to carry out repairs on the hard shoulder came as a relief.

[@cpowerscpo2002]

great vid as always

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Will be much better soon over next few weeks

[@guy4469]

did you take him to dover

[@matthewc.419]

[@FatJoeFilms]

When there is a 'Red X' on the gantry, and a Traffic Officer behind you with cones out, the lane is no longer live.

Hyundai normally pretty good, very reliable but biggest flaw is rust. just on to my 2nd i20, first one gen 1 just normal wear tear items overall over 5 years it was cracking car, passed every mot with clean pass no advisory, only thing let the car down was paint, and few areas starting to rust but for 100k miles and little work it required cracking little car. what what annoyed me a little the face lift one really should been a rear lift so they could fix the flaw body on boot just below wiper body window rust out the rest car was great so rear lift instead face lift would fix a huge design flaw what should been a recall, go coast wales and look at them wow some shocking examples. reason i mention face lift mine was 2011 so cheap tax one but across the road to me he had 2013 face lift his one far worse than mine. but mine was so good to me ive now upgraded to 2015 shape one same engine but top spec so pan roof, heated seats and wheel and so much more but now i know flaws soon im booking car it for a huge going over and plan to rust protect it as i will keep it a very long time,, mechanically just do the chain at 100k miles but still got 50k to go so that way off as they tend to go 100-120 k reason why estimate life span only 140k if more knew it be up to 200k average miles if not a lot more, old one 100k easy passed all smoke tests passed very easy so was not 2/3 through it life was not burning oil it ran very smooth , the case more you know the better then it can be long lived. next step my newer i20 rust protection, full Hyundai service history it was from retired guy who worked for Hyundai he upgraded but my eyes downgraded to 2024 i20 as now 1.0 liter all you can get i know cause it had private plate on first images i seen so think 5 years searching for right one paid off

[@carllockpick6179]

The tire was flat, on the ground.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Yep lol

[@ChrisHipkiss]

Thick as mince!

[@ZX_64]

I remember when crouch had a TV show the recovery agents would hate when they would get a call for live lane motorways job simply for reason no slow down or give space even with police or highway England closing a lane

Good evening pal, just thought I’d let you know I think your KZbin channel is brilliant. I’ve subscribed and I’m keen to learn more. I’m wondering if I could pay you for a 5/10 minute chat over the phone sometime. I’m hoping to start my own transport company in the Manchester area and would love a few pointers if you have the time. I’m going to have think about who I know that would be suitable for your camera work. Have you found someone yet? I’ve messaged you on Instagram👍🏻
