2016 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Auto Aintree Green

Just got back. Peeing down so can have a proper look

Bleeding hell. The cluster has all the glass knocked out. She has pushed the bumper on the corner so it's sticking out. It's not creased

My son had tried to push it back but won't go.

Asked "how the

did you do that?" Probably not the right thing. I was told I should have asked how she was

it's my pride and joy

Got to look at the cost before considering insurance claim

2013 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS Auto Orkney Grey

Let me cheer you up a bit. while working and living in Toronto I owned a brand new dodge caravan MPV and a 3yr old Lincoln Town car. they were usually parked side by side on a sloping drive in front of the house. The slope was away and downhill from the house. SWMBO returns home with a friend and pulls up in the Dodge caravan next to the Lincoln to park as per usual. SWMBO stops the car and puts in neutral rather than park and hops out. Dodge rolls back while front drivers door open. The open door catches the lincoln in the wheel arch area and squashes/pushes out the metal wheel arch quite badly under the weight of the Dodge; meanwhile the door on the dodge gets concertina type damage in the hinge area of the door. SWMBO runs to the back of the dodge thinking all 5ft of her can push the Dodge uphill up the short driveway and in process gets her foot run over by the rear wheel when jumping out of the way.

I also failed initially to ask how she and her foot was and was told this was very bad form; but all I could think to ask was how the

can i explain to the insurance company that two of my cars were significantly damaged on my driveway while neither car was occupied by a driver.

Has bumper just been pushed out of its retaining clips?
Had mine off while fitting tow bar electrics.
It is just held on with clips at top & some funny clips that are hard to describe where it meets back quarter.
If this is the case then should just clip back . Sure I have the PDF of how to remove bumper cover somewhere..if you PM me your email. I can send it over.

Cheers Ian

I am away this week and called by SWMBO - she reversed into a bleeding post and smashed the light cluster

bumper maybe dented too

Its only 3 weeks old

She said in her defence that the parking sensors didnt work.

NOT a happy bunny

Need to order new cluster from TLO and up the priority on the Reverse Camera with Bodsy

.....if you got a D3 you could have taken the opportunity to upgrade the lights to D4 ones....
