They probably won’t raise a claim as the girls probably had to cough up a $7000 excess....and hire company won’t fix anythingQuote:

If only i had come along and rescued them , they would have been good for free beer. [thumbsupbig][bigwhistle]
They will have something to tell their friends when they get home. Something similar happened to a D2, unfortunately bent the A pillar. All over red rover, write off.
Exactly, it's a landie, meant for falling over and getting back up again. I did exactly the same thing on a 4WD Course with the Air Force many moons ago. Couple of mates, push it back onto it's feet and off we went. It was a petrol btw. The sand was so soft it didn't even damage the mirror... [thumbsupbig]Quote:

A pretty simple repair in reality. Mostly just time and a few parts.
You lot call ya selves Land Rover fans..... without doing a rego check, look at the obvious things [tonguewink][tonguewink]
Radiator apron flush with wing panels.
Radiator apron with short length provision for decal.
"Defender" decal on rad apron.
Grill and headlight surrounds grey.
it DOES have vents in the bulkhead.
Small centre muffler.
The rear reverse light is square.
It has a Salisbury diff.
so all the above points to PRE Defender TDCi.
As it has a Salisbury its not late TD5.
As it has the snorkel on the drivers side it's not a 200tdi
So either early TD5 (flat front, sals)
or a 300tdi
but yes it has a TDCi (puma) bonnet [bigrolf]
WOW!
You win the first rivet counter award for 2019.

He has seen under, inside and outside of a few I suppose. [emoji38]Quote:
