Really hope you get her mended.
Interesting on them mending the ladder also.  I know it can be done but will cost a fair bit if garage doing it.
Fingers crossed!  
I've spent the last couple of day doing jobs on mine and it would wind me right up if she got whacked.  

help

Cheers Grouch Smile  

i spent ages on the brakes and finally got them right (with the help of the forum Smile  ) and i obviously had them working right as fully laden in the wet on mud tyres i stopped in time only to be whacked ...doesn't  seem fair Sad .... and after all the man hours I've spent on my truck doesn't seem right it comes down to a pencil neck telling me its just an import and not worth much ... Sad  my truck doesn't have a money value to me so i think they should pay and make it how it was before the crash... Wink

the guy said he could repair my ladder and if he couldn't would make me another one , will post what happens either way Smile

i am determined to keep my truck whatever happens ...Smile

Lewis , i am not sure what i am looking at in this diagram ?   Embarassed  would you know the part numbers that i need ?  1st one is the rear box section and 2nd for the cross section at the back ?




Hi sorry for late reply, been driving, on me hols, for the past few days and not had enough of a signal to get online, other than a couple of emails to a pair of unamed individuals. Rolling Eyes

I still don't have enough signal where I am, out in the bush, to get onto the Mitsu database, but if you show the diagram to any Mitsu dealer parts dept they will be able to find them easily.


I'm glad it all appears to be working out. Don't forget that it was the other plonker who drove into you. You do not have to negotiate anything, it is up to them to put things right as they was and not deprive you of your motor, lr accessories.  :D

Just hope you get a buy back option if they scrap it I would be gutted if the Blunderbus  got hit and you know the state of mine but every scrape was put there by me mostly following Les or going where he pointed.

It puts value on the truck, it's called custom crash damage, it means it has less chance of getting stolen

Unless someone is nicking it to use in a ram raid.

The insurance company will only pay a maximum of what you had its value set at.

For £5k you could get a very good quality import and transfer all your bling and accessories over, and still have change.  Rolling Eyes

Though bear in mind that Mitsubishi labour charges are around £85 per hour plus VAT,

I would be inclined to accept that amount from the insurance, if they let me keep the vehicle, and then use it to get replacement parts from a scrapper and do it myself; probably for less than £3K, including a full professional bodyshop refurb and respray.  Wink

i am waiting on what the reply and amount will be from the insurance engineer.....three options valuable , the garage price is accepted and the repairs go ahead, they write it off and i get a buy back option but it has a cat against it  , or they give me a cash settlement and i keep the van and try and sort it myself....... nervously waiting the outcome... :o
