2015 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 SE Auto Santorini Black

Had the best news this afternoon they are going to repair my Discovery, all down to strength of the Landrover 🙏👍.
Even wife's happy kept her safe and car back for good.
The chap did say if that was a newer car it would be a write off? In fact he said still had a lot more money in Discovery.

Good luck.

Just seen e mail 5 days to repair so might be getting back sooner than I thought once all the parts are in.

5 Days is super impressive for a repair..

I had my D4 2 weeks and someone went into the front O/S on our lane.. Was only bumper, bonnet, headlight and wheel arch..

They had it for 9 weeks!

I had a D5 as a courtesy car..

Repair cost £6000
Car hire cost £20,000! Disco4 MY16 SDV6 Landmark Black
Disco4 MY12 SDV6 XS Orkney Grey (Gone)
Defender 90 200tdi Completely rebuilt.

They picked up car on Friday, assessor viewed the damage and said it's saveable due mainly to old school chassis?.
Started later next week but due to 2 parts on back order that delayed almost 2 weeks.
Full sheet of parts looks like they removed the body I assumed for rear cross member etc replacement?. Give or take the delay in certain parts on order around 2 weeks?.

Wow 20k car hire? I bet the other insurance company gulped 😮😮😮.
Hard to say how much mine was as not privi to that I would say something along what's yours was?.
As the Assessor stated due to car it had a lot more money in it?
Luckily she took that car not her own that day as I think her car would of crumpled like the Hoist did and she would of had lot more injuries.?
