You might have more luck on the sister site Disco 3, those boys are more your DIY type. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

If you've not got a friendly garage that can do this at mate's rates or you can't do some of it yourself, maybe it isn't economically viable to repair the vehicle?

Plus it is also the kiss of death when you come to try and sell it on.....it will get get registered on VCAR with HPI etc.....because a trader has to declare this he is unlikely to want to touch it with a barge pole.... Hence the value of even a well repaired car is considerably less than an undamaged one.....

Take the insurance money and go and buy a good one!
