My VW transporter has a flat battery after being left too long without use. Tried to jump it but it didn’t work, I need to get a new battery fitted on due as I can’t remove the old one as I need a long tool( heavy duty battery)

Any contact numbers if a garage that will come the campello with a battery and change it over ? Thanks

Most probably you're better off buying that tool. Or try to start the engine from another vehicle and drive it to the nearest garage. Or, buy a battery charger (some 20,-) and give your flat battry a second chance.

The breakdown element of your insurance may well provide breakdown cover from your home, so you could get them to send a grua to take it to a garage.

What sort of 'long tool' do you need. Where in El Campello.

Your car insurance will definitely come to your house and start your car - I´ve had to do just that.   If they can´t start it then they will take the battery out for you.
