Yes indeed, I'm not holding my breath! The photos issue is less of a problem at the moment as the claim is directly against the third parties insurance, I wait the assessors valuation!!

Yes Evilseries, I did wonder if trying to avoid him was the best course of action, you may have seen the video clip when I looked at it I had just under 2 seconds to make a plan! Had I gone left I'd have had the curb which could have rolled me, straight on would have taken away his back end or...

Amen brother!!

That is a fine specimen indeed!!

However on to more serious issues! The landy has rippled/twisted/bent every panel except the back door and perhaps the roof. Despite that the new inertia reel seatbelts stopped any of us hitting either the steering wheel or the dash and you can see the 'burn marks' on the seatbelts! I was pretty...

I'm not really into the personal injuries game, a cousin of mine was involved in a low speed shunt and has still been contacted by solicitors to claim. The letter 'didn't encourage fraud' but told you how long certain conditions should last for maximum amounts of claim. (My cousin was fine and...

I think the whiplash comes a rather poor second to a leg in plaster!! Should help put a deposit on a successor!!

LOL Thanks SpringDon! I'm exercising the retained salvage option! I think at worst I should have it mounted like the Hi-Lux on Topgear!!

I've the assessor coming this week, its actually twisted the chassis and most panels have been 'tweaked', the rear tub has moved around and the O/S back wheel actually dented the top of the wheelarch!! The impact was around 50mph and this shows the violence.. Landrover Series 3 vs Calibra crash...

They were the only coppers in the area at the time though!! I was quite tickled myself!!

Hmm, I think tomorrow begins with a chat to the insurance company regarding the agreed value nonsense, if no joy discuss with my solicitor and then insurance ombudsman I suspect! The front Prop snapped at the UJ, still drove on to the trailer and once front axle pulled back into line it steered...

I'm delighted to hop away from it! There is cctv footage here if you want to see what a Landy flies like! Landrover Series 3 vs Calibra crash - YouTube I can't believe how well it protected us from an impact at speed!

Thanks ngrserv! The body shell distorted and it the door swung open as it rolled and jammed it that position, at least it saved me romping through someones garden! Net result one fractured fibula (me) but no other injuries to Calibra occupants and whiplash/bruises to my two passengers.

Thanks IGP50, My solicitor has appointed an independent engineer/assesor/inspector to view the vehicle, I had taken out legal expenses which should help, I hope!

To be fair it was yellow when I bought it!!

How does one delete a thread chaps? Thanks!

Sorry I didn't realise chaps, just noticed now, will remove immediately!! PC told me I hadn't logged on!

Just the one LOL! It's more than enough!

My SWB 1982 Series has been intercepted by a Calibra with the following results.. Land rover | Facebook I had restored it on galvanised chassis with 200tdi conversion.. and I took out a policy from Adrian Flux with agreed value of £5000. However at just 16:30 on the day policy began...

Thanks for the advice chaps, I think they are being abit unfair!
