Mike, I always carry that in my card wallet - got "personal" cover for additional cars with my Brittania Rescue membership. As from the end of this month, both Moggies will be insured via Footman James and will carry their breakdown cover.
I think that BMCecosse is right when he said, somewhere, that if you've got the spares with you, you won't need them - I didn't breakdown, didn't need to use any spares, but did have to open up the auxillary "cooling" facility on the way home down the M40 as the recently installed water temp gauge was beginning to climb (sustained 60-64 mph travel) - I opened the brass tap to the heater matrix (had to use a piece of towelling as it was expected to be very hot). It ment that my daughter and I got a bit warm, inside, and had to open more windows.
Good to have met you and looked under your Series MM bonnet.
George.
