lan update to the above, i am having the repairs done at no cost to myself no loss of ncb or excess, i get a hire 4x4, so quite pleased really, the first knock i've had that did'nt turn out to be 50/50 but like the man said if the vehicle is parked and your not in it then no way can you be involved so the other guy pays for everything

a further update, popped over to gloucester today to find out what the repair situation was as i had not heard anything since the repairs were ok'd, it would appear that all the required parts had arrived except the rear quarter panel that replaces the bent in one, however it has to come from japan and is in the process of being specialy made, this takes a bit of believing i would have thought that replacement panels would be available" off the shelf "so to speak.

Specially made panel??

########! They forgot to order it or something and are making excuses.

If yours is a 3rd gen you should get parts within 48hrs, The big shock for me was buying parts direct from Pentagon Toyota cheaper than Roughtrax ! ie bumper brackets and ready colour coded panels etc
