I`m with Rescue...I have all breakdown cover (no parts or labour) except european and pay £36 per year.

Nationwide Flexaccount might be the solution. £10 per month fee but it includes full European breakdown and recovery with no age limit on the vehicle. Cover is personal too so applies to any vehicle you are travelling in. Fortunately have not needed to use it yet. I understand they use Britannia rescue as service provider.
That's interesting, but will they cough up £500 towards a new SCB pump?
I've been paying £39.76 per month for AA breakdown, relay and parts and labour (max £500 per claim) cover for 2 cars. That adds up to £477.12 per year and £199 of that is the parts and labour cover.
SWMBO's car is a Nissan Quashqi so we probably don't need the parts and labour for that one, it only does 3,000 miles a year.
Mine, on the other hand is a 2004 E270cdt with 180k miles on the clock and I do c15,000 mile a year.
What do you think guys, stick with the AA cover I have, drop the parts and labour or change to another company?
PS: my SCB pump is the original one fitted at the factory when the car was new and I don't like the thought of a £1,000 bill if it packs up.
Are you sure you are covered with 180k on the clock. I thought it was only cars up to 15 years and 150k?
I phoned them with details of the change of car to a 2004 E270 with 180,000 on the clock and they were fine with it.

Mobilio here too, called them out 3 times since owning the car, oil leak, puncture(mrs driving) and broken door lock.
before you buy breakdown, use a different address (second house or family's or something) then when you car break down outside your house, they will class it as roadside recovery and you don't have to pay for the home start element, saving you a few quid.
