    No more Patrol!!

    hi,

    after my recent accident in the Patrol I'm pleased to say Just Car insurance paid my agreed value within 5 days of making the claim. Very pleased with that service. Only thing I would say be aware of, which I think applies to all insurance companies, is that they cancel your policy with a write off and keep your year's premium. In my case, I was paying monthly so they took the excess and the remaining year's premium.
    I had to find a car quickly as I need one for work and unfortunately didn't have time to find a decent Patrol so I am now Patrol-less. I'm afraid I picked up a boring Falcon BA.....well I say boring, but it does have a 5.4 V8 engine!! Now I just need a Patrol to put that engine in LOL!!

    Only joking, the Falcon is nice and comfortable for my commute, but I will miss off-roading. Just wanted to say thanks for all the advice from the forum during my brief 6 months Patrol ownership and I might be back!

    Glad it turned out for the best for you mate (apart from not having a patrol!! lol) - hang around for the banter anyways - it might give you just the incentive you need to start hunting for a new off road toy!!!

    All the best!!

    LOL, it was offered, but I never asked the price. Haven't got the time and space at the moment. It went to pickles auction (complete with mud), so hopefully someone's got a bargain!
