All repaired and back on the road. A mere £609 lighter - which is mainly for the parts (driver's side driveshaft and stubshaft, both stripped), labour came in at straight two hours which I'm quite happy with. The guys at Aire Valley Workshop also noticed a broken clip on the pipe that meets the airbox so I'm back in a day or so to fit a fresh one.
Fingers are still firmly crossed that we'll get a big chunk (£475) of the repair bill back after claiming on our AA Parts Insurance Policy which is like a mini-warranty of sorts; as long as your vehicle is serviced at a VAT registered garage (to keep it legit) the first £500 (less £25 excess) can be claimed on non-consumable repair parts. Something we've had for a number of years but this is the first time we've made a claim. Watch this space...
