I believe (and I may be wrong, it's happened before!) that they need to reimburse you the amount required to get a comparable example.
Now a nicely looked after S8 seems to be about £5k upwards right now, bit less on other D2's. So that's where you start. In the event of a claim they will slap you with the CAP guide, as it's in their interests to do so, but it's not too tricky to show them otherwise? If you fail the Ombudsman would have something to say about it I would imagine? Might be the difference between them scrapping an older car and them getting it fixed?
