Now I know you can't judge an insurance company on policy price alone, but most of us do!

I went to LV on the advice of John Cooper (JC Imports) , they where the cheapest I could find by miles.

Now I was very happy with my 2.8Tdi until some thieving little **&^%*(* removed it from my drive one night, I phoned the police at 6:15 am and reported it, then at 6:25 am I rang L&V to report the theft, and to give them there due they answered and took the details.

Within 3 working days of the theft, a nominated insurance inspector attended my house and took the details. 2 weeks later, I was being made an offer, granted it was not a lot! I spoke to the 'salvage team' as there known on the phone and explained that it was Super Exceed spec, the next day they rang back with a new offer which I accepted (good offer), 3 days later the cheques arrived!

Now we'd booked for holidays sometime before, but I had nothing to draw the caravan with! I went out and got a Mondeo cheap, rang LV who swapped the cover onto the Mondeo no problem, didn't charge an admin fee, and now I'm the proud owner of a 93 3.5V6 24Valve LWB Super Exceed!!! and swapped over the insurance to this no problem, no fee, same price as the 2.8Tdi.

All done over the telephone mostly on Sat mornings and at no time was I messed about, documents arrived quickly with out errors.

I have nothing but praise for LV and would recommend them to anyone! I'm sure there are those who have issues with LV, but my comments are from a real situation none of us really want to be in.

I must say a thanks to POC member OldBill who assisted in the settlement negotiation by getting me a copy of the CAP Grey Guide page for the TDi, so I had some hard evidence to work from.

LV (it's not L&V, just LV) were great when they paid out after my break-in last year and fixed the damage to the interior and exterior. They also dropped their renewal fee for me this year. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Bart,

No I didn't really need the Grey Book, but it was nice to speak to them on there level, 'CAP Clean values are...'

Once I explained about the leather, JAOS Bull, DVD Etc, the price agreed was fine.

It's the grey import version of the black book.

see www.cap.co.uk for more info, basically it's a bit like the Glass's Guide but more specific.
