HappyNomad wrote:Similar to OP, our car was clobbered yesterday. Tesco car park, the car was unoccupied but my wife was approaching it when a lady pulled into the next bay rather too fast.
Front bumper smashed, valance scuffed andmisshapen, wing creased, n/s front alloy seriously disfigured and a cut tyre sidewall with a chunk taken out the sidewall/tread by the bumper as it wedged into the tread. Not pretty at all.
Our insurance is on the case, the FL2 has already gone to the body shop and a Ford Edge auto delivered as a courtesy car.
The third party has since indicated that she wants to bypass her insurer and pay for the repairs directly but I suspect the cost of it all will be rather high.
Update to the above... car is back from the bodyshop and looks superb. The only thing unfinished is the winter tyre that was cut and damaged has been replaced with a standard summer tyre. The bodyshop assures me that it was an oversight and have promised to source a winter tyre and change it over for me. In the meantime I will put my summer wheels back on and all is good.
Opinions of the Ford Edge auto. A vey nice drive, Duratorq 2.0L with stop start, lots of space, more boys toys than enough and the car handbook is an electronics manual in disguise. Would I buy one? Yes, at the price I would - but not while my FL2 is everything I need in a car.

" but not while my FL2 is everything I need in a car."
....... are you forgetting the Freelander 2 ....... was designed by Ford engineers. 'Olde' Land Rover engineers I am told ....played no part in it.
I attended the private launch in Gaydon ...... and spoke with Heads of Department for each part of the design.
...... further I was invited to Halewood to see the Freelander 2 being built on the production line.
