I wouldn't give up hope.  It's quite a modern Land Rover being a Td5 isn't it?

Because of that, it has a high value and if the costs required to get it back to how it was is less than the value then you should have that happen. ;)  New chassis, new front end and the odd ancillary and it should be good to go I imagine.

Rich....

You've missed the main cost - LABOUR!!!
Chances are if the 90 needs new chassis it will be written off... as the cost of the chassis, all new panels, paint etc etc and then labour soon add up.


Smo...

Hope your ok!... as everyone has already said... No one was badly hurt (apart from sore necks and your pride!!) - and everything else is metal.

However... if they do write it off, or won't have it repaired... BUY IT BACK!!!  Ideal basis for your off roader! :wink:
If they give you option to buy it back, and you don't want it - give me a shout, depending on the price I might be interested.

The way the landy is built may well mean that a rebuild on the front end is viable, hope so, lot of time in that motor by the looks of it

At least you will be able to drive, hate to think what the result of a normal car going throught the same impact would have done to you

One point, if the van didn't have his brakes on and was pushed into the vehicle in front, your insurance company may be able to do something about the collatoral damage on the other vehicles in front of the van, ie through his insurance, might be worth a word with them if you havn't already

smo:
Ian - cheers m8, i'll keep you posted.

Hobbit - i'll speak to them tomorrow when my brain starts working again!

bezzabsa:
worth pm'ing Barmiebrummie as thats his bread and butter ;)
may be able to do you a rough estimate

muddyjames:
With the van not having his brakes on has probably saved you alot of injuries as he was in theory a soft impact instead of a solid object, you hit an object that took the force and moved away again.

Glad your well though.
