Gosh, thanks Sproket! I must confess that I called in my personal Technical Support person (son-in-law) to run through it with me!
Thanks for your interest and help. There'll be no stopping me now.

Because the pictures are no longer on your Photobucket page (have you deleted them?) they have disappeared from the forum page Derek
It would be good if you could re-post them as it is always worthwhile to see a technique used that any of us might have to use in the future. A neighbour was going to use caravan medic to repair a gouge in his van and the price seemed very reasonable and the cutomer reviews/photos looked very sound too. Then he decided to sell the van and look at alterntative holiday modes. But the people buying the van might be intererested in a cost effective repair.
Anyway, hope these are of some use.
Yes it really is as good as the photo shows; you simply cannot see where the dent was. Well chuffed! Excellent tradesman.

Had the photos been moved Derek?Derek Brad said:
They were not deleted from this end and the visible message is from your Photobucket account. Have you chosen the privacy option on Photobucket?
If Derek doesnt mind could you pass on my email address Steve,we have a small dent that we would like dealt with and Dereks advice would be useful
Thank you both
Thank you both
Yes Parksy, I had chosen the Privacy option, then when they disappeared I changed to the Public option whereupon they have remained on the post. Thanks for all good advice.

I'm quite ok with emailing Deli Dave. But there isn't much I can offer in the way of advice on the repair, except to say that it was carried out by my local (Leicestershire) Caravan Medic, and the photos tell the story!
Good luck anyway and if you think there's anything I can add, then feel free to make contact.

With pleasure Dave, I hope that you get your dent repaired to as good a standard as Derek'sDeli Dave_ said:
Well,I emailed caravan medic and heard nothing.As we went to the NEC Thursday they had a stand so I told the chappie there he said he would chase it up.Thursday night I had an email from the Northants engineer so texted him pics of the very minor damage and no reply to date.Might see if I can get the Leicester guy to give me a price and pay his travelling ,otherwise Ill try and find something to go over it.I'll try and post a picture on here ,its very minor and if this is beyond their capabilties I wonder what they can do
Hi Dave,
Sorry to hear you had no response from Northants medic. Mine was repaired by the Leicester based medic...Tony Whiles. In fact I was speaking to him at the NEC on Saturday and giving him a bit of well placed praise! I should certainly try him on 07975 598179. I'm sure that he would deal with the damage shown in the photo, he told me he'd even had to repair a ding caused by the dreaded Swift "Flipper"key! I wouldn't be able to say whether or not he would wish to travel to your neck of the woods, he's based at Broughton Astley near Lutterworth.
Worth a call anyhow, good luck
Regards
Derek
