Hi. I did something stupid with my disco. Let’s just say. Reversed into a tree

Any suggestions on getting this repaired please?

The D pillar is the big one for me, dunno I could live with that. Think your going to have to claim on the insurance.

You should say to SWMBO, “how the Hell did you manage that!” Act all indignant. Blag it you’ll be fine.

A good body /panel beater would get that D pillar looking like new in no time..

I would just get it done and not bother with insurance.

Thanks for the feed back

Actually the good lady was say “stop”. If I recall.

Looked at my insurance the excess isn’t too bad and it’s protected no claims. So I have just raised a claim.

just be careful with protected no claims, sometimes insurers say they are protected but they will still knock you down some years if you claim just not all the way back to zero

Autoglass will be able to replace the glass and like someone said a decent bodywork guy/girl will be able to sort the d-piller. My friend has done something similer and he got a quote of £600 for fixing the dent in the d piller and also a repair too his rear bumper. Apparently the rear bumper is the hard one to fix so the d-piller on its own should be cheaper

The other thing to watch with a claim for that type of damage to a 15/16 year old discovery is that they may write it off without a second thought. Aviva did that with mine when it only needed an o/s rear door shell.

I’d agree with the above, chances are they’ll scrap it. Tailgates are really cheap, £60 - £80
