Ok finally got my Adria back from repair and i must say Motor Bodies Weston have done an excellent job it looks fantastic ..yes the repairs took 8 weeks instead of 2 but that was not their fault. There are parts not changed which were agreed on repair by assesors the external covers for Dometic fridge and Truma boiler vent , seems LV forgot to put them on the repairs sheet , I am chasing them up as they were all damaged in accident , LV say 2nd asessor did not agree to replace these broken items ????? , and are currently held on with tie wraps .
However LV have also messed me about from accident to now is 8 months ,, They have overcharged me for Excess, by £350 , they have put the accident down as my fault when vehicle was hit by uninsured 3rd party vehicle that police say was stolen and 2nd vehicle involved is claiming I deliberately rammed him despite police and highways telling LV and other parties insurer he hit me first and is at fault ....So i have referred them to the ombudsman , I feel LV have shafted me royally , they have continually told me van was ready over last 5 weeks when clearly it is not . they have lied to me they are not working in my interest with the claims and they have changed teir story 3 times ?????
the only other points are that Motorbodies did me a free habitation check when repairing , and pointed out a damp area under nearside lounge table window , they put silicone all around window but reckon it should be taken out and the wood and foam below abouts 80cm x780cm replaced as its reading 78% on the meter .??????? this was not mentioned on Hab check when I bought the van in August last year??????????
also the new decals on repaired right hand side of van are now shiny and gold as it is the 680st Goldline edition but the decals on left hand side are now faded aftr 13 years and look silver so may have to have them upgraded in future especially if i sell the van but maybe I can get them done when damp spot repaired ?? any reccommendations for such repairs reliable companies ??
Any way looks like I will make the ferry from newhaven on the 5th to EU , phew ,,,,
Im not a happy bunny with LV i dread what will happen when insurance up for renewal in August ,,
