CRASH at BLITHFIELD RESERVOIR | VEHICLE RECOVERY UK 

That little police officer was amazing running up and down beside your wagon keeping the traffic moving safely she deserves a massive shout out bless her heart

Thanks Greg. You are the hardest working one man recovery operation on RU-vid. The camera man did a great job capturing all the action.

That police lady was blooming delightful and beautiful 😊

A very good Tuesday morning to you sir from Wellington Somerset

Just got into recovery 3 weeks in great to watch these videos for tips and ideas how to get proper stuck stuff out! cheers

Top job on recovering the land rover and top job to shane for filming with the amazing angles. Looked very tricky but yet again you smashed to get it out of there

See, not just a Chelsea tractor, they CAN go off road! 😂 I could feel the pressure of that traffic through the lens. Great video as always Greg.

You are awesomely AmaZing as ever, Greg ! That was a nasty collision with the farmers deep field😯🤦‍♀️ Hope who was driving the car 🚗 / passengers were all ok? Great work from Staffordshire Police in their assistance:-)👍👏

Top bloke who recorded the video fantastic shots 👍👍👍 bring on more. recovery work yes please 👍👍👍

Hi greg,absolutely loved this one,you as always show how professional you are and how respectful you are to the vehicle,the public,the police and the farmer by trying to collect as much rubbish as you could,glad the lovely police officer turned up and was helpful and didn't turn up with attitude so 👏👏to her,great camera work aswell greg,cheers👍

Great job Greg and clever use of the banna skin 😂

Well, what a good video to end the week on

That one looked dodgy... good use of the roll-back getting positioned. Wonderful police officer managing the traffic on that busy narrow road.

Greg Liam here in Ireland done an excellent job on that light the way you performed it hope nobody was hurt please God Excel about I'm hoping to be watching more of them

I saw that on its side on the 14th Feb. It was there when I passed at 6am, still 9am and again at 12pm but you'd removed it before 4.30pm. Had to check my Dashcam as I passed it at 6am and never saw it. It was a horrid morning. Plus the road was flooded about 50 yards up. It's been flooding there quite badly with the recent weather.

Lucky It hadn't got a ton of potentially explosive and toxic battery! However THAT might have just meant an ash pan and brush instead.Lovely spot, but it does have it's share of overspeed numpties. Nice Work.

Great job Greg, it was difficult and technical but you saved the day ! Nice camera work as well 👍🏽😎

Great job Greg proper challenge,,love the tidying up 👌👌👌👌

Still a cracking job well done

That’s a very nice job , well done Mr GDB

Great recovery Greg. I was thinking similar plan of action to you. It can’t have been far from rolling over. A proper challenge to test your skills! Shame the cars a mess as it’s a nice car. Love the videos and great job from camera man!

Hi Greg, just watched the video you did just great on that recovery just having a tilt and slide also the vehicle at that angle that really was a job for a hiab recovery but you did a great job having what you had hats off to you and the road you were on made it more diffuclt but the police officer helped with that👍👍

Great Work Bud 👍👍Looked well in the ditch nice job 👍👍

Good job done as always 👏

Cracking job👍

Interesting and technical this one Greg, but you saved the day ! Good camera work as well 👍🏽😎

Love every second of this, even the camera man made it even better!

Nice recovery 👍

Nice one Greg! Good to see subscriber numbers you deserve, I was here before 7k subs, it’s great to see a channel grow!

Top quality job… premium content 😍

Straight to Coparts

Jobs like this is where the little 4t " come-along " hand winch ( like a mini tifor winch ) i carry comes in handy , could have put a strap through the rear wheel and to one of the tie downs on the bed and pulled the thing over as it was winched on .( creates a V from the car to the bed as a seperate redirect for the main winch ) Plus it would hold it while repositioning the main winch cable . An underated piece of equipment , possibly because they are cheap yet they come in handy . Shovel wise i carry a Lidl 6ft handle stainless one , it's shape lets you scrape the surface and the long handle keeps you upright it's good for getting in under cars stuck in the mud as well . And i swapped from the axle straps to a set of J hooks on chains after having a few of the straps cut through on the pressed steel A arms with the spot welded seam sticking out around them . Alloy arms just need a webbing strap saver slipping over the jook to stop it damaging the alloy . And when you put the strap behind the wheel you really should have used the next tie down along and come up along across the front of the wheel so the strap went behind and out then back across to the front tie down , how you did it could see the car pulled across and off the bed iff the other side strap failed .

Is this what they mean by off road driving in one of those things! 😄 . Great job done there, I was wondering if that would come out of that steep incline without the Hiab 🤔- that was an amazing result! 👏.

Yea nice job done

The cars probably a total scrapper, but great to see how you were still as careful as you could be with it. And top marks for tidying up the soil on the road, collecting the bits of bumper etc - going the extra mile 👍👍👍

That was a challenge but the sla smashed that angle spot on mate

It took the police a while for them to come and help you, plus I noticed that there was no ‘police aware notice’ on the car which was in the ditch, as they could have number of calls from the public saying there is car in ditch. Plus I wonder which ‘emergency services uses the green and white tape which was around on the car ?

Excellent & well executed recovery. Barr an unforeseen circumstance, i.e. vehicle mechanical failure or a sudden incapacitation of the driver, but if one drives at the permissible speed of the road & is fully paying attention, how do you drive off the road & end up in a ditch…..speeding or not paying attention?

Good job as always Greg! The new slippery jims works perfectly 🍌 🤣 Hope you had a good day today!

Hi, small world my motor was parked behind that 'Rangy' in front of the garage on Tuesday waiting to be assessed.👍😂 (D &M)

Nicely done. I hate winching crash cars backwards

You obviously now your trade, nice job 👍

Good stuff again mate that was a work out

I always found slippery jims a complete waste of my time. Sodding things took too long to install and always came adrift. Winch 1 foot, stop to hammer back in, winch 1 foot, stop to hammer back in, winch 1 foot, stop to hammer back in..... Wherever possible, I used a couple of large sheets of polypropylene (about the size of a McDonalds tray). Much larger surface area to spread the weight. I hit the edges with a blow torch and bent a 2 inch perimeter upwards so that it would ride over most stuff. Eventually, I did a version 2 with some tie-down loops so that I could winch directly from the sheet - That really helped with lowered and supercars.

Great vlog mate.

How are you finding the EV vehicles with them being heavier to sort out on call outs? Just curious if it affects jobs and if you have to get stronger equipment?

Nice job 😎

Excellent video; I think you have a OS headlight out @21.59.

glad u take away the bits from the car. so many dont

JLR will be delighted to get their car back

In some US states SUVs have a sticker to remind drivers they are prone to rolling over. Not so in the UK. Drivers of such vehicles, with their windows wound down have been known to lose arms when they flap through the window before being crushed and dragged.

Good recovery !! But would it have been better with a habit crane recovery truck !!

Another great video, but why the need for that terrible background music?

Can i just ask why didnt you just cut that bloody tape..😅😅.it was anoying the hell out of me. But great job..

Things like this does the farmer get details of the car insurance to claim for damages etc?

Great Channel . one thing it may not breakdown again . it is a Rover

You go Dumfries

For the next time you have run out of choke straps, just use a shackle. Soft shackles are possibly the best but steel ones are fine. Worked for me when I used to move agricultural equipment around the country.

Hey Greg I would have used the f450 twin line on this one

And yes we need more videos please. but sorry i would have come for the job but i am too old nearly 75 if it was 50 years ago yes

Bit of T Cut & that'll be fine. 😂

"Used Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 D180 R-Dynamic HSE 5dr at Stafford Land Rover" Stafford Land Rover 1 month ago. Oops, it was a nice car before the crash

Take the twist out of your strops before tightening, sweep the load bed before driving away: Loose debris can fall off and damage vehicles, or hurt other road users and pedestrians.

Excellent videography , but your good lady is a lot prettier 😊

That's face it cars a write off but you got it out safely and without causing further damage so its a good day in the office

It seems you’ve already pulled a small car out of this spot, I think it was an Aygo Toyota. Doris even called the police because you blocked the road. 🚗🚦

First pull off all green/ white haz tape. Much easier than playing limbo with it

They will put an Armco barrier

If that had been a Freelander Mk 1, we'd count that as cosmetic damage and think about driving it home (once it was out of the ditch).

Landscape Gardner could be an alternative!😅

By heck we are spoiled twice in one week

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Where was the driver of the disco?

bannger vid as always

Personally I would of took the disco too and used the winch to not only steady the vehicle abit but also to drag the front end over. Would of got it out alot quicker IMO 👌

Great videos but please please set your phone to vibrate, I'm getting repetitive strain syndrome from chckng mine 😂😮😂😮

'ey up Greg 😎😎😎

So much pressure to get the job done with glowering motorists looking on, as though it's your fault!!! Was there a reason not to pop the air bags with a penknife etc to gain easier access into the veh to disengage gears etc?

This guy gets mucky i cant believe he was a trolly dolly for a holiday airline .

I bought a damaged ford mondeo from a salvage company , i brought it home and found a foot still in a shoe under the passenger seat .

I would have pulled it out with my tellehandler or my 14 ton digger

Do we get to request what vehicles we'd like to see you recover?

I think you need to bring that back wheel down

That Disco isn't very old.

Thought that Range Rovers were supposed to be good off road ?😂😂😂😂

They up everybody’s premiums to pay for this standard of driving. itll be on a forecourt soon i imagine.. Whys my car walking like a crab?its only 4 years old.. they normally cover up the registration plate..after nasty accidents for some reason..its only done average mileage..

Where was police when u was hooking it on and stuff

3 straps and the winch

Amount motors end up in fields farmers need parking meters lol😅

how somebody could do that to a landrover I do not know they should take more care I bet they had the foot down around the corners I could cry another landrover going to the scrap yard in the sky

Silly place to park 😆😆😆

Is this video only 720p for anyone else? 🤔

allways gonna be writen off by the insurance.

Why was the police officer not wearing her hat? Are standard this low in the police force now?

One favour can you refrain from calling (Jesus) goodness would be nicer.

Boring video and Greg you talk rubbish

Nice land-rover, driving too fast???????

Can’t park there mate 😂

What’s the cost of a job like this ?
