Then after another period I finally got it back right after months of stuffing around...

Probably Wilson's, They towed it and are doing an independant assessment of the damage for free,,

Not nice mate. Just glad that no one is hurt - fortunately like our tyre episode last Wed.

Hold out for the Kent Green respray

Not good Pedro
At least the good lady and the dog are OK.
I cant see them spending money fixing the D2 unfortunately.
The risk that there has been serious damage to the drive train will usually result in an economic write off.
GOODLUCK

Have to agree unfortunately Pete, I bent the front diff in mine a few months ago on mine, and it got written off. Bought it back, fixed it myself and all good again

What was the by back price and the insurance pay out price on yours following its write off and I'm assuming the car is now uninsurable?

I only got 10K for it, and bought it back for 2K. Some companies will refuse to insure it, but mine some will reinsure it. I had to go through a lot of red tape to get it road registered again, full inspection by QT.

**Pedro_The_Swift** · 7th July 2010, 04:08 PM

We got the independent quote back,,
11-12K.
without removing a panel or chassis inspection.

**Fluids** · 7th July 2010, 04:53 PM

Insured for how much Pedro ?

Insurance status of the other party ??

Kev..

Thats a good quote, my quote was over 20k, which included things like 3k for a new diff housing etc...rediculous quote to be honest, and was insured at market value, which isn't much.

That looks nasty Pete. Seems everyone is OK which is the main thing but it hurts to see your pride and joy all bent up.

Hopefully insurance will cover everything for you. Going by the quote I'd imagine it must be close to a write off ...
