got a pic of the mud stuff dash please?

mine has also done the same recently and i thought the rest of the chassis was reasonable but decided to re chassis and am glad i did as the rest of it was pretty bad in places where you cant see.

failed the mot on another hole in the chassis then came home and welded it up again

right sorry for no update for a long time... we fought the insurance for a long time but got to the point where we had had enough and wanted the car back. they wrote it off and paid out £3,800 approx and we bought it back for just over £600, i then spent the weekend welding on another cross...

Trying to work out a true value for it now Mike

thats exactly what i was thinking tbh

the garage only looked this morning so i havent heard back from them but apparently they have quoted £5k to the insurance company. Im prepared to consider a write off and buy back settlement if they offer a decent one but want to make sure im not about to get screwed over... Any ideas for the...

Cheers i saw that im going to see what sort of offer they want to make me as i could do the repairs myself but if its crap then ill do everything i can to get it sorted. Mike

just had the call... 5k to repair so they want to class it as a total loss. iv told them where to go lol. what would you guys value a 90 station wagon turbo diesel with 200tdi conversion and axles, 2" lift, 4 exmoor trim seats? Mike

Right just had the guy out from "the man for landrovers" to assess the landy... he says that the chassis is actually bent up from where the volvo went under it plus the obvious damage to the door the crossmember wheel carrier etc. He said they could repair it with a new chassis and turn it...

most annoying thing for me was that i wanted to go and play in the snow with it >_<

I also hear that they make it handle "like its on rails" :lol:

the steering isnt so good with train wheels either

yeah i will do as i found the others helpful and i can get further advise Mike

dont worry they can take their time with it if they want to ill get my way in the end lol no desperate rush to get my car sorted... Mike

just read the other two topics all very interesting thanks again for the advise will see what they come back with... the annoying thing is how they will drag it out for so long when it could be fixed in a weekend :doh:

Just going to read the links now cheers im not in a great rush to get the landy back its annoying not having it but tbh its just a toy i dont need it other that in snow when our other cars cant get out... Theyve delivered me a 61 plate twin cab hilux today and i will be specifying that it has to...

Well the crossmember and legs are damaged so new chassis time?

Nice to know that they can't write it off just waiting to hear when they will get an assessor out to me now.
