Today's little accident

[Matthew Arnold]

As long as the chassis/front bulkhead/suspension mountings aren't damaged. It is repairable. A friend of mine had a similar accident in his 110 with the back wheel of a 3 wheeled lime spreader. Almost identical damage and all he had to pay for is the insurance excess. The farmer paid out as he was driving the spreader in the dark with very dirty back lights which you couldn't see and tea lights for front lights.

This shows what happened.

Why is there a very tiny person standing on your mirror arm?

 

On an 08 plate my bet is that that's an insurance write-off, but please let us know. Glad everyone was OK!

 

Did the trailer tyre actually run up over the front of the Defender then drop off into the position shown?

that's looks like what happened. I would have been papping my self if I was the landy driver.

I was clenching. Yes, the picture clearly shows neither the landrover or tractor stopped in time.
