Just going through the pain of a shock-loaded 0-200.

Work was turned round very quickly but the insurers........

Its been over 3 months since the incident and I still haven't had the prop or engine back as they won't release until they receive payment.

So far the bill stands at £10k for shock-test, new crank and prop.

A lesson I've learnt is get the insurers to agree the payment, then pay for it yourself until the insurance cheque comes through. We had a very expensive transition to Part M this year which made that impossible.

As it is the engine maintainers have a load of repaired engines waiting for collection but won't release until they get payment. Can't be good for them.
