im pretty sure i have rac cover with my insurance policy after speaking to gav lamm this morning hes certain they will shell out for repairs to my vehicle any one in the know on this

just waiting for the insurance company to open to call them

[MATT BATEMAN (OWC)]

Depends what policy you have (roadside assist isnt going to do it) and how strict you've abided by their conditions if the policy is applicable; servicing frequency etc.

[richywilts]

im not getting my hopes up i think it will prob be rac roadside assistance ive got

[colin purewater]

Only smarties has the answer

I very much doubt it, its a wole different policy to get general repairs covered and exspensive.
A normal RAC policy even with the top level of cover, they will only do minor roadside repairs to get you going again and charge you for any parts used.
If they cannot get you going or its a big job (like yours) they will tow you home or to a garage then its your problem.

I hope you get your van sorted mate.

Rac would have towed you to a garage a exspensive garage where you will pay excessive charges.

If you have top level of cover they will tow you anywhere you tell them.

[windiewasher]

Richy have your workers been thrashing and abusing your van?i would make they drive sensible,i wouldn't be happy if one of my workers damage my van.

[dazmond]

your are joking right richy?

not a chance mate.how old is the van?and did you change the cambelt when you bought it?i always change mine on any second hand van/car i buy straight away as soon as i buy it.

[dazmond]

sorry richy just realised it was your engine mounting that snapped knackering your cambelt.

[richywilts]

the only reason ive posted is spoke with gav lamm today he said aa paid for all his twice once when his master cylinder went and also when he replace engine i think when he had issues with his vivaro apparently they were meant to pay up to first 500 but paid the lot

[CLEANCARE WC]

That sounds like a warrantee policy not a recovery policy

[LBWCS]

Is this on your vivaro?

[richywilts]

Is this on your vivaro?

yeah the vivaro pal

[MATT BATEMAN (OWC)]

How old is it?

[richywilts]

2006 my mates took bumpers etc off and hes already found a list of 6 thing which need to replace gonna be a long shopping list

I have cover with the AA, plus additional repair cover. For the repair cover to kick in you have to call the AA first plus it's advisable to report the repair cover to the driver. You then need to be assessed by the AA and dropped off at a garage that will deal with the AA.
My local garage did this for me when we had a breakdown.

You do specifically have to have repair cover though.

[robertphil]

don't go down the route of getting a secondhand engine. I used to be a spannerman and I can tell you an untouched engine for Vivaro  are hard to find and likely you will buy a half baked wreck engine for top dollar. the injection pump and possibly even the injectors  are computer matched to the brain of the van to further complicate matters
 back in the day I heard of a fellah who fitted a secondhand engine to a Renault ,he failed to get the brain on the van to match up with the new engine-on startup it revved its nuts off to the max and couldn't be switched off neither !!

[Gav Camm lammy 283]
