Ohhhh....I didn't realise they were so cheap! Ooops. Thanks, guys!

Hi all, As above, I'd really like to get them working again - any hints / tips where to start, please?

Hi all,as above - I have 4 locking nuts / bolts in my Freelander wheels and hate the trouble it causes whenever I forget where I put it. I'd like to replace with normal bolts, does anyone have 4 that they could send me for a few quid?

Don't think so, think it was the crank sensor that came out? Anyway, he has now carried out the repair - replaced the pulley, belt etc. The Freelander is now back on the road!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

No, all done by the insurance company!

Why did you replace it?

It had come off so he reattached it.

I will check with him today but think it was the crank sensor?

That does make sense, actually as they explained that that is part of the deal - money plus vehicle returned.

Its not always easy to put a crashed car on a recovery truck without further damage. Yes, that's a good point, actually.

Hey all. Quick update - as some of you may know, my fan / axillary belt went on the FL2 and it stopped running and wouldn't start. I was concerned that the shredded belt had affected the timing belt and ruined the engine as it would turn over but not start. Tonight the brilliant Baz Meredith...

You have made a claim and got yer car back. That's it over. No mate, it doesn't work like that. The insurance's job is to put you back to where you were before the accident - headlamps missing, writing on car, buggered battery and holes in neighbours' tarmac is not that, is it!! Buy some tarmac...

Ha, agree 100%. Needless to say, this won't be the last time they hear from me on this 😁

Interesting reply from the garage which shows an interesting viewpoint from within the insurance company... Just for clarity We have contacted AGEAS Insurance, and their response as follows; “As the vehicle is a total loss that the customer has retained, we are not willing to deal with any...

Thanks for this. Battery was absolutely great and about a year old (can't find receipt). They said that they had to use battery packs on it twice which I believe is detrimental? Re power when buying a new one - could you advise further, please? Not just a case of giving them my reg number? Will...

Update: FL arrived back with dead battery, headlamps in boot and 'NAD' written all over it to identify damage prior to incident. Garage who assessed sent out someone to put headlamps back and clean writing but won't replace battery. Found out just now that a new battery is £212?? Wow. I was...

Thanks for that. Update - I managed to get them to up their offer from £2010 to £2222 and it'll cost £500 to get it back so have gone for that option and am hoping the engine will not be ruined 👍🏼

Thanks for that - the thing is that I have checked Autotrader and their valuation for mine (207,000 miles) was around £1,100?

Nope, no excess as it wasn't my fault. Phew!!

Insurance have offered £2,090 but want £522 for me to buy back.....thoughts?
