Now I'm confused......

I thought the Landie was going in to be fixed on the insurance, have you:

A) got another in hiding

B) planned to have it fixed when you come back

C) got the replacement already and plan to put some serious mileage on it.

I will have missed you by now, but hopefully you've brought back some piccys from your trip.

Have you any thoughts on WHERE you want it to go, when I had a claim for my Audi my insurers offered me a list of local 'approved' repairers, and I managed to hassle them into getting it fixed at the Main Stealer.

If you have a local garage you prefer, it might be worth giving them a ring to see if they have done any insurance work before, with a view to ensuring there is no reason that they can be excluded.

Just a thought  :wink:
