Breakdown cover

I'm looking at changing breakdown cover and know some people on here use Greenflag. But how?

I've tried doing the online quote system and it blows chunks when my 7 isn't on their list of "manafacturers". Anyone come up against this before?

The German recovery firm ADAC use Greenflag in the UK (along with a UK call centre).

Supposedly they're cheaper than most UK Breakdown cover and have better European cover and trackday cover [1]

I'm with ADAC, bit of a pain to set up but you get full Euro cover (vehicle independent, they cover you not the car) including recovery from the Nurburgring (the main bonus), for less than most UK people charge for domestic cover only. They have a UK freephone number with English speakers at the end so no need to worry about them being German!)

Probably not worth the hassle of setting up if you only want UK cover, but if you plan on visiting Europe then they are definitely worth looking at.
