Welcome to the Club, David. These cameras are great ideas, but I am afraid I know nothing about them. I had a brand new car scatted with a key or nail from one end to the other. But it wasn't a Jaguar, just an Austin. There are a lot of helpful members who will have the information you need. Enjoy your Jaguar. Regards, Peter.

And another thought, Kris. Find out the name of the Top Man/Woman in the Company. You can get that from Google. That is how I won my case against my insurance company. My claim had been turned down when my car was hijacked, or car jacked as it is now known. I was told that I could appeal and go to the Insurance Ombudsman. I told them I was not going to the Ombudsman, but I would have a little chat with Jim *********. I did give the young lady the impression that the chat would be over a couple of cold beers. The next morning I had a phone call from the company from a very senior young lady who said that she had investigated my complaint and that she had decided to settle the matter with me. I had a cheque in three days. Regards, Peter.

Hi Kris, A slight but maybe useful bit of information . I googled "auto gearbox -- crash damage". This gave me several useful results concerning a crash which rear ended several cars. Although it took place in the USA and although it wasn't a Jaguar it was an all wheel drive car which has of course a prop shaft which could have been pushed forward even slightly and could have caused gearbox damage. Should the matter finish up in the Courts, [certainly in the UK] Balance of probability would be the criterion rather than absolute proof. It could be worth looking at. Regards, Peter.

Hi Kris, I think that you will gather that Mick and Trevor do not like Insurance companies.. I am not that keen on them, either. I had an issue with my insurance,and I eventually got them to settle my claim. I do expect they will have their revenge when I come to renew. But back to your problem. I think you might need a report from and engineer or possibly a technician who would know more about this fancy electrical whatsits they put in cars nowadays. I will try to gather some information for you from people I know and see if I can get a strong opinion. Meanwhile there is a saying "Nil illegitiis carburundum." If I had a Coat of Arms that would be my motto. Regards, Peter -- another Pom, but smaller and older.

Welcome Kris, I'm with Mick, and hope the bas****s don't win . Next to dealerships, insurance companies are my pet hate, they pray on peoples fear, quick enough to take your money and reluctant to pay out ; as I've found to my cost over claims due to the recent floods. If you can take them all outside and shoot the lot the world would be a better place. I hope you get everything sorted and quickly. And as we say in England , every time the team goes out to but " It's just not cricket" ! ATB, Trevor (small old pom)

Welcome aboard. Only one request with your insurance battle........ Don't let the b***ards win! ! ;-)

Welcome to the Club, Kris. You will find that there are a lot of friendly and helpful people in the club who will always assist when they can, but I don't think thee are many who have have taken on Insurance Companies. Being a bit of a nitpicker when dealing with officialdom my best advice would be to put everything in writing, even writing up immediately telephone calls, and keeping copies of all letters you send. It is much better to be a pain in the backside rather than having a pain in your wallet! Let us know how you get on. Regards, Peter.
