Disaster!

Thanks for all the sympathy - just what I needed last night!

And - some better news

Car is on its way to MRC and the Insurance company seem quite content that it's covered.

So next stage is to find out the mechanical (and financial) damage and get their blessing

And then we can decide what gets "tweaked" in the re-build!!

Happy to hear your good news, a friend did the same thing a few years back in his two month old SL55, that needed a new engine which was covered on his insurance.

Hope it can be revived without costing the earth mate

Read the first part of this post on a bus going in to Madrid this morning then phone died! Just got home and glad things seem a little more positive for you Dave - fingers crossed the insurance does it's job and you get your car back soon!
Without naming names is an insurer known on this forum, know there are 2 or 3 that are popular with us lot!

After reading the last bit Dave i'm now thinking you always had an evil little plan!!
Really hope it's covered by insurance

Oi Vey, I hope somehow you can claim from insurance on this...sucks bigtime...

[PhilT]

Best of luck Dave, whatever the outcome

Ouch, 2l VW engine cost us £1300 to repair from flood damage... it was pretty bent inside. Still have some of that parts removed as they're a work of art. I had 5 different people reccomend the same place to repair, they did a great job and the car's done 40,000 miles since without missing a beat.

Really sorry to hear that, Dave. What a nightmare. Of all the things that could happen to a '6 it had to be that

Hope you get it sorted soon. Keep us updated.

Probably the nicest words Doug at MRC has ever said to me...

"Car runs, but gearbox ecu or wiring is not right so it cant be driven."

I'll be back......

Dave

[Mrfickle]

a step in the right direction (fewer pound signs before eyes)!..good luck and hope it is back on the road soon....

[SteveH]

Sounds encouraging. Good luck

New gearbox and TC care of the insurance company sounds good to me

[Ian_C]

Wow excellent news. Have the clever MRC gearbox map whilst you are at it.
