Horrible pictures, I wonder why they removed the passenger seat?

Let's hope you get a good settlement from your insurance and get back in a defender soon

Waiting on another call for another offer but they came in less than the total book price, what they offered was 200 TDI Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Find specific examples of vehicles that match your old one for sale on Autotrader when you sort it by most expensive & simply ask for that money - they'll be trying to use the bottom end of the range & hopefully you'll agree on something closer to what you want. If not then tell them you want them to buy one of the higher priced vehicles as a direct replacement. Good luck with it & don't roll over too soon.

Well here is what was left lads, Insurance stated its a Cat A write off but you can see that anyway by just looking at the pics.
phuckin a waste of a good motor, tragic end to this one and a short one too. I was hoping we could have been together for many years.

I hope they do have the worst luck in life

Blimey Procta , I know it was only a car, but those photos are terrible.

I feel for you, and hope you get sorted with a new one soon.

It's gutting to see those pictures knowing how much time and effort you'd put into making it yours.

Hopefully the insurance won't mess you around for to long and you can find a decent replacement quickly enough. Like the others have said, send them details of ones for sale similar to yours. You could use the advanced search on eBay to show recently sold as well, if that's of any use. Any thoughts which model you'll get as a replacement? 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

Heartbreaking pics. What a waste of a lovely truck.

Damn procta much worse then I imagined, really hit home on the forum.

All that for a pair of bloody axels?

Is it worth having an ask round the local clubs to see who has a new set of axels?

What’s the going rate on a pair of axels anyway? I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/

I recon who whipped them has been some bent off roader. But yeah a right old waste! Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Also lads the insurance has gave me 8k for it, after a little bit of research on their end and mine, thanks to good old Ebay!! They were going to see me at 7750 but after a one that was a year older and more miles for 8k they said I will give you the 8k.
Now its the case of where do I go from here?, I have seen a good one that's caught my eye. and looks tidy too. But I will have to have a chat with the bank, Or do I just pay the remainder off and go for another loan.
hard one  Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Great to see you're sorted with the insurer & looking forward to seeing what you buy...

Yeah I am still going to stay with the defender, Only car that's worth getting. This one I was just starting to get my teeth into this year, The replacement one I am looking at will hopefully have what I was going to do with this one already.
So I am not starting again as it were.  Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Hope to see you back on a set of defender wheels procta, if you see any down my end that need a Scout let me know, I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/
