Also - what has it to do with LR warranty - not sure you can claim their anti volcanic ash additive isn't working - surely more of an insurance claim issue no |

Force Majeur or considered an Act of God in insurance speak. They will try to walk away and not cover it. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

I love this country - on one hand we are told that god doesn't play a part in our lives but then when a volcano erupts it's an act of god! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Is it an all-terrain vehicle or not ? |

Maybe trawl the members list and see if any Icelandic members have a problem with their paintwork, if it's ash related then I would take a stab that they might have had a little fallout there

To me, it's typically an insurance job, like flood, forest fire or anything related. Isn't there a waranty exclusion in LR about natural disasters ? 2010 TDV6 3.0 HSE Santorini Black Tan Full Leather |

It's common sense to me - if it was crushed by a falling tree would you claim on warranty or insurance |

If the insurerer is blaming the clearcoat then you need to claim on your insurance and your insurer needs to take the matter up with the manufacturer. |

.... and IMO the insurer blaming the clearcoat just sounds like them chancing it |

It CAN be detailed off - the same way you can wet sand the clearcoat and polish it up.....if the whole car is messed up - would cost about £500-600 plus maybe some extra for the roof......this would obviously also depend on the thickenss of the clearcoat and how much depth you have to play with..... |

agreed, unless the "acid" has eaten all the way through the weak clearcoat, if it needs lots of sanding, polishing, how much clear will be left behind, maybe very little in places which will then have to last the life of the car or at least his ownership
