I'm on holiday just outside Bodmin and my alternator/water pump belt has snapped, hopefully not due to a seized pump.
The breakdown service should be here by 6pm, in case it needs to be taken to a garage can someone give me a recommendation?

This looks like the man:

Many thanks for that. I shall give him a call on Monday.

I'm pretty sure his name popped up when I was looking for someone to fit my new engine...we never got hold of him though and ended up going with Nigel Alan

Trev is your man what he doesnt konw about vw's isnt worth knowing

Thanks, I got hold of Trevor and I'll get the van towed there if it needs a garage to fix.

Staying in Redmoor means no mobile signal and the WiFi is only running at 20-100kbps! I had to use Three's VoIP service and not surprisingly the call quality is poor with 2-3 second delay.

The RAC arrived and confirmed that the water pump is seized so it will be trailered to Trevor Giles tomorrow morning, hopefully there's nothing serious like the head gaskets. We're due to head back home to East Hampshire on Saturday so I'm praying for a quick (and relatively cheap) fix.
