Reply With QuoteThanks for the update. After that I hope your payout is good and then you have the choice of a D3 or a D4. Even if you get the car back it's never the same, you don't know what they did to it. Hope it was insured for agreed value.

Many thanks for all the support - here's an update for those interested.
The assessor has recommended that my D3 be written off - the fire extinguisher powder has bubbled up all the plastic trim, the leather and has got into the switchgear. The EPB switch has already given up the ghost and they're not confident that they could effectively fix all of the underlying electronics and ECU's. However, I'm still waiting for the official letter from the insurance company before I can do anything about a replacement
.
My wife got the Subaru back after being repaired. New front struts, resprayed the front and rear. It looked good, but still pulled a little to the left. Last straw was when she drove it one night and the windscreen misted up. You could clearly see two footprints on the windscreen above the passenger seat. She traded it in on a Freelander 2 TD4. Naturally, I had nothing to do with that decision
So it's now a waiting game .....
Cheers,

The payout will be the sticking point.
They'll try and give you peanuts on a LandRover.
Prepare to be nasty with the claims dept.

The assessor has certainly been reasonable - it's now up to the insurance company as to whether they follow his recommendations.
I want to get into a new D3, rather than a D4, as none of my wheels/tyres (I have two extra sets) will fit the D4, and I imagine the same would hold for my hidden winch, side-steps, compressor plates etc.
There's also a white RRS with active diff available in Oz
Mmmm ..........

Hope the cops get the little so and so's.
Do you get to salvage your extras off the old one?

The car keys are the "something you have", the "something you know" could be a PIN.
they tried this on the peugeot 405, guess know one liked it as its not really taken off.

Well it's official - the "Ceg" is a write-off. Just waiting for the payout offer. Waiting, waiting, waiting .....
