Honestly I don’t think it’s done anything to the chassis heat wise as all copper cables are intact, even the abs sensor cable at the site of the fire start, the aluminium rear quarters are melted but that’s only 650c, if copper cables are all intact even the thinnest ones then it hasn’t reach...

I’ve had a look at the chassis cause been doing a bit of sweeping of glass etc. The rear is/will be fbar’d, all the coating has burned off from where the floor arches up for rear seats, body undercoating from there backwards is also burnt away. From the lower half forwards, chassis and body the...

Yea I’ve decided I’m probably just going to remove anything on value off the body that is salvageable, get rid of the body check over the chassis backend that the fire was at and rear axle. If all seems ok then I’ll just wheel the chassis, engine an all into my garage when i’ve cleaned it/sorted...

Honestly I don’t know, I’d had thought you’d pay back what they paid you for the write off so you’d be at net zero. Not sure as first write off tbh. I don’t want to test it then find out I can’t buy it back and i’m a lot worse off. No the chassis isn’t fubar, only the body but I don’t know how...

Cheers, I’ll be better when I’m sat in a working disco 2 TD5 LOL! Yea I’m good and the family, only was car and garage stuff so very lucky really. I do have contents insurance for the house so I’m thinking they will cover the stuff lost but definitely not the car itself. I’ve had a look and I...

It is fully insured, comp too but the cash value they’ll pay is around 2.2k and I obviously can’t strip a lot of anything off that has had all the new parts, front axle for example. That’s if they’ll actually cover it and not put it under negligence while doing my own repairs or something so...

Alright Guys, If you read my introduce me post, this is the burnt out D2… All my fault. I had a lapse in what I normally would do, I left a dirty greasy rag on the rear drivers axle and it caught fire from a bit of glue that was on fire from welding on the edge of a spot welded section in the...

what price you looking for?

ignore me, just saw it was last year. -.-

Alright, Names Luke, 35, lincolnshire and I’ve got a discovery 2 td5. Bought it sept 2023, was in a poor state and falsely lead to believe it wasn’t as bad as it was. Had no recourse so just cracked on to get it a fresh MOT, roll around 1.5 years later and probably like 6 grand up the screek...
