Hi,
The transfer box on our jeep is beyond repair after some damage from a severe pothole (that we thought our exorbitant tax may have paid to fill in).
The transfer box is unrepairable. I rang every breaker's yard in Ireland and cannot find a replacement part for this particular model. I did find one in the UK which is £1k sterling plus delivery. Labour would cost up to £500.
Similar jeeps are for sale on DoneDeal starting at £2k up to £6k on Carzone.
Therefore, we don't think it makes economic sense to get it fixed. A breakers yard suggested we might get 800 euro max if we sold the car as is for scrap.
Is there anything in comprehensive policies that cover such a scenario or does the vehicle need to be involved in a crash to deem it eligible to be written off?
