I've been between sites and out of contact, but it's great to hear that you have got a site.
With young family to entertain my heart went out to you. Any of us could have been in similar circumstances. Anyone would help stranded holidaymakers and it's nice to know you have been fixed up. Even if it's not what you had planned.
Maybe the queues will be gone by Sunday so what should I do with all this water?

How about anointing the caravans as they come off at Calais

Hi Cheesy
I've only just seen your post or I would have offered some advice earlier. I'm SO GLAD to hear that you've got sorted. We've broken down a few times on the Continent over the years and I really sympathise.
If you are still wanting a tow car? If yes, are you a Caravan Club member as on 3 separate occasions the CC's Red Pennant Insurance have provided us with hire-cars with towbars after breakdowns in France and Italy. I know that you're not insured with them but they may be able to point you in the right direction for suitable hire car companies.
Previous to taking out RP insurance we broke down when covered by Britannia Rescue - they too gave us the "no cars with towbar available line"
Either way I hope you have a good holiday.
Regards
Tim

So glad you got sorted. We broke down in Germany and had the good fortune (if you can call it that), to find that there is a Mitsubishi garage in Lechbruck where we were going, so ADAC towed us there. They looked at the car right away and €60 later told us it was fixed. It wasn't, stopped again a few days later. It turned out to be the manifold full of carbon, one very big lump. €1,080 later.
It has been going perfectly ever since. (Oh, and ladies, the "boss" who fixed it was gorgeous!) We have the carbon as a gift from Germany which made us all laugh. Just as well they spoke English too.
