Don't hesitate to dispute their first offer and threaten county court or arbitration if they don't agree a sensible offer.

I did similar once. Took 3 months but after the threat of arbitration I got the full whack.

Used to run a fleet of 35, had many silly offers from insurance companies

Without wanting to offend i would guess £1800-2000, based purely on my searches for a DSE over the last few months.
The bonus with a total burn out is they cannot truly establish the condition of the interior or paintwork, they will just go off book price based on mileage.

Id have said about 1500 myself. Some red still exists on it lol. New tyres with recipts and bills for engine and so on. Dont know weather a good or bad thing. Included pictures of it when it was all polished up send keys and logbook off tomorrow and they'll pick it up

benthomas · May 17, 2015

Well i was going to post that i replaced the bulb in the HVAC and cigar lighter on the P38, cleaned the squished fly debris off the windscreen and cleaned the leather,, fiddled with the timing on the classic but that seems somewhat indulgent with stustrong's late night activities.

Datatek · May 17, 2015

Ordered the bits to fix the P38, went for a Lemforder track rod in the end, hope it lasts longer than the last one.

domino · May 17, 2015

Took it for a drive through east for a walk. Ended up axle deep in mud and water which was fun. Now discovered I have a mud flap missing!

domino · May 17, 2015

And all the posh model lighting too....

lol

ukadamwest · May 17, 2015

but not the posh side steps ????

Grrrrrr · May 17, 2015

Output seal and handbrake fixed on a 4.0. Propshaft back on (brand new nuts and bolts) and up to the last 2 nuts to torque up when they polish. Won't go on, won't come off. Effing ****part propshaft nuts & bolts. How can you cock up a bolt?! So, they'll have to be cut off, whole thing apart and replace again. The originals can go back on.

Incidentally, the ****part nuts are about a mill of so shorter making it that much more difficult to get the socket on it. For the record, go for genuine and save yourself a load of bother!

stuu · May 17, 2015

Started looking for another theres one the girlfriend is really keen on 1997 black with tints genuine roofbars and a bar. No spots or light guards (orange indicators so a clear light update will be needed) on eas 5spoke l322 wheels 18s at a guess 10months mot. Serviced with gearbox and filter done new battery and various suspension parts 110k all looks straight in pics and interior looks good. Seems a genuine sale may go see it. One thing puts me off though and its a v8 hse its up for 1800 so my sort of budget. I may well be back with a million and one questions yet folks

Butler took them off. Apparently one shouldn't be using such improper aids when alighting and the leather steps in the boot should suffice?
