I had no problems with mine
flux did a value of £18.5k
Although what they don't tell you is that the agreed value has to be done every year, and until they get the info
your newly rebuilt pride and joy will be valued at market value!
I Would just say, you really need the landy back asap
and you have found another painter who can do it for you
he maybe glad to get rid of it, if he is really busy.
