£250 excess and then a hike on premiums next year.....................

Will try and contact Nikon to see if you can send direct. There is a Wilkinsons close(ish) but not sure who they send to for repairs to be undeertaken. Cheers.

Anyone got any tips re repairs (Nikon D810)? Lens mount a little loose and menu button unresponsive, play button jammed following a fall from height today! I am based in East Lancs but can post off, just wondered if anyone has any recommendations re repairs. Thanks.
