Stopped in traffic last night (car two ahead of us turning right) and nice Tesco delivery driver sailed straight into the back of our MY 2010 TDV8 Vogue

Give it a good whack at about 20mph and re-shaped the bumper into a whole new design

He apologised profusely and said he never saw us stopped!! That will be 3 tonnes of metal in front of you mate. Big shiny thing!!

Had my foot hard on the brake so the old girl did not go forward and hit the one in front thank God!! Gets real messy on paperwork when that happens.

Remarkbly little damage for a good shunt but the bumper is hard up again the tailgate assembly so me thinks there has been some crush damage on the bracketry and mounts no doubt.

Anyway in she goes for a bit of love and care. Insurance company have a new Land Rover (not sure what yet) on its way (promised FFRR or RRS). Car authorised for repair by local LR stealer (having stated that NO they could not take it to the local authorised repairer a few miles away which is a Peugot garage) !!!!! WTF!!!!

Specialist luxury car. 5 Months Old. It is going to Land Rover matey. End of discussion.

And it was such a sunny evening. Nobody hurt. Her indoors not best pleased as she was in passenger seat

Tesco man a bit upset as he said he would be for the high jump Not my problem. Pay attention next time.  Currently running FFRR MY10 TDV8 3.6L and a Disco 3 XS Commercial (tank like but very effective as a Company van). Plus one mint condition Track Day Car in the form of an E36 M3 3.2L Evolution circa June 1996 with lots of go faster bits and only 52k miles on the clock! Oh, plus a few bits to make it slow down really quickly as well! Luvverly.

thats a bummer, but maybe you can get discount now at tescos  2002 td6 vogue, 06 supercharged facelift

Tell the LR man you want all new parts and no repairs! The loss adjuster may try to force a repair to the bumper, if it is repairable.

SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THAT....FEEL YA KILOVOLT

Sad when that happens but main thing is you are all ok...

I like the sound of your insurance company, we got a honda Civic, but what a pocket rocket they are!

Absolutely

Loan car has just arrived. BMW X5 3.0D twin turbo thingy

As we were promised a Vogue this is a bit of a surprise but anyway, debated buying one but hate the fat backside and tire design it seems to have developed over the last 12 or so months

Time for some road testing and comparisons to be made. I am not expecting comfortable. The X5 we once owned was like a go kart on fat tryres and hard suspension.

The day just got more interesting. Time to thrash (sorry spell checker broken), I mean test gently the new beemer

Sorry to hear that I hate having to repair brand new cars it just does not seem right somehow! Good luck with X5 from what hear its a good car if not such a soft ride as the FFRR.

I bet you put your flashers on when in a jam from now on!!!!

Sorry to hear about the new car Kilo, I know your pain, when I bought my one and only brand new full price Range Rover (sport Supercharged...ahem) the bonnet get a massive ding in it in Week 1. I was gutted!

It will get fixed and you'll forget it ever happened.

have fun 'testing' the Beemer.

Broken old girl been gone for 10 days and is sitting at stealers awaiting a new rear bumper. Currently no ETA from Land Rover (or JCB and that is not a misspelling ) for a new one

Looks llike my Vogue is made by a digger driver They must be into injection moulding for industry

Put a call in a few minutes ago for rental company to take back the X5 - it is rubbish. Corners like it is on rails (very nice) but as an MSport on run 22" flat tyres - my spine can take no more of it. It is like being in a go kart
