    Odometer changed by theieves

    Finally got some closure with the insurers. After a great deal of confusion and discussion with their engineer they have offered to 'right off' and offer the vehicle 'for salvage' value and need to make £15k on it to give me good 'market price'. They say that they have an offer already so we may...

    Makes it worse when guy dealing with it goes on two days leave before nights - no one picks it up! We were having to call him at 7 o’clock in the evening when he came on shift. Pretty helpful though. Most helpful were forensic guy.

    Odometer changed by theieves

    Hi On the first point - because my insurers are pretty naff and I don’t want a vehicle back that wasn’t as good as it was when it was stolen The second point also baffles me. Vehicle was reported stolen on a Friday morning. Police phoned on Monday morning to advise that we had a Vodafone...

    Odometer changed by theieves

    Hi Thanks I will. Insurers say they will take it to a dealer next week. Most of the body panels need respray according to body shop - looks like it’s been driven through a thorn hedge. I want it checked mechanically and also the VIN and electrics need checking/replacing which alone could be...

    Odometer changed by theieves

    Hi Yes, haven’t actually got it back yet. It’s still with insurers repairer. They are costing up repair before making that final decision. It is a concern since in some respects the thieves were a bit amateurish - putting VIN for silver vehicle on black vehicle - but in others they were pretty...

    Hi Spoke to Rick at Callrova - he was very helpful. They broke nearside passenger window and drove off! CCTV at hotel car park saw 'dark figures' approach vehicle. Took about a minute or two before the vehicle was seen driving off. We had only bought it 4 months ago and didn't know it was...

    Odometer changed by theieves

    Hi Everyone Impressive......thanks for the replies. I have told insurers that I wont take it with 180k miles on clock. Apart from a new nearside front passenger window (which they smashed) and a broken trim to the nearside A frame to expose the cabling (plus the changed VIN) everything seems...

    Odometer changed by theieves

    Thanks for the response. Yes indeed. I have done most of the ‘running around’ for the insurer and liaison with the police etc. They have handed me over to their authorised repairers who are sorting out some minor stuff on the bodywork and replacing VIN etc but they are at a loss to know what to...

    Odometer changed by theieves

    Hi My 2013 Discovery 4 was stolen in Birmingham and recovered by the police 6 days later. It had been 'cloned' to a 2010 model (theives changed VIN etc). They even changed the odometer from 40,000 to 180,000 to match their cloned choice MoT document (which was left in the vehicle when it was...
