I’ve rolled my 300tdi 90 on to its passengers side, (the misses wasn’t too pleased as she was sat in with me).

I’ve assed the damage (pictures to follow shortly), and need a new passengers door with trimmings, bent the track rod, split my radiator thanks to a handy placed branch, and done some of the front end in e.g. bumper head lights blah blah.

I was after some advice as regards to breakers yards in Lincolnshire area that anyone knows where there are some Landover parts, i would buy new but just moved into a new house and i am skin flint at the moment so just looking for some parts to get it back running again. does anyone know if any such scrappers exist in Lincolnshire area ? i have tried some of the local scrap yards that i know off and cant find a sniff of anything its all bloody ford Mondeos and old bits of crap that i can’t even really recognise.

any tips or snip bits would be appreciated and let the **** taking commence.
:rolly:

not yet i will be getting it checked over once i have done some repairs to it, there is a landrover garage near where i live but they charge and arm and a leg for repairs.

Come on man, think of your fellow Landy drivers entertainment, a Camera is a must wherever you go :5bcheers2: :D
 
I was going to suggest taking a look at the for sale section but it looks like you already beat me to it;)
 
Oh and don't worry about the pics of your rolled tratter I'd rather see the look on your missuses face and yours when she'd finished beating you to death:mil5:

i was suprised she was quick calm really considering i drove pretty much through a hedge and it landed on her side ! but she wasnt pleased, it was when we got home she really let rip as the landrover was meant to be a project that pays for our wedding ! haha looks like a trip to vegas!!

there are two pictures on of the radiator one of the front end, notice the wheels pointing the wrong way and the track rod end bending in the worng direction.

Track rod and rad should get it rolling[ha ha] again,then its on to the cosmetic stuff and how far you go is up to you and if your going to visit the hedge again!
 
yeh i figured they will get it rolling lol... i don’t plan on visiting the hedge again but who knows if an idiot decides to cut the corner again while im driving on the other side of the road i might end up in there again. beauty of it is he didn’t even stop to help just carried on driving !
 
yeh pretty much, natural reaction to swerve. i feel like i did the right thing could of been alot worse if i hit the on coming car
