Fourking slate fell on my Zed
You have a valid claim, as they new about the problem. They must have somebody on site responsible for health and safety. As you say it could have landed on somebodies head!!! Write to them directly with your claim and include the costs of the repair, and point out the history, which you have only just become aware of. They have a duty of care to people and /or third parties using the fascillities.

Claim to fame
My cousin was until last year chaufer to Mick Jagger and went on tour with Rod Stewart. Hes told me a few stories!! Jerry must have been a very forgiving person? His job ended when he wrote a book called 'you can drive my car' Which immediately had an injunction put on it. It is out now but heavily watered down.

Using Auto box occasionally manually
Jock - Restricting engine speed by locking lower gear. I Think not - lower gear means higher revs for any gived road speed. In difficult driving conditions - heavy rain, ice etc you should use highest gear possible, and short shift etc. and with an auto such as in the Zed put in hold which starts you off in 2nd.

Using Auto box occasionally manually
Jock- engines/gearboxs not really designed to do the braking on a constant high level of this type of use i.e. reverse forces. A lot cheaper to replace brake pads. Thats what they were designed for!
