I know I've recomended using an accident management company before. But this is a real case for them , 1 phone call and its done.
Noboby needs the poo your going through with your insurance. Best bet is cut out the monkeys and use 1 get your motor sorted and no more stress.

Good luck mate

The company giving us all this grief are NIG INSURANCE, they've now arranged to have garage collect the car on monday.   this is the service you get for fully comprehensive insurance and legal cover, so beware.

Then i wait 3-10 days for decision.   i spoke with the garage and when i told them the year of car, it was all oooooohhhhs  and aahhhhs he said it'll be close on whether they go for a repair or not.  no one has been out and seen the damage yet but i'm sort of resigned to loosing her.    

insurance have noted that i want the option to buy it back.

@craig   hey mate, i can't afford to pay out for a motor and then go through more stress trying to claim it back.  bought a vectra to replace the mondeo the mrs wrote off on new years eve, so we'll just use that while the circus goes on.

trying not to think to much about it, been getting serious pain in my chest, neck and shoulder area, been to docs today then ECG scan at hospital, arrived too late for a blood test so i have to go back on tues or thurs to get that done,     now have to take the ecg results to doctors, but they have closed early for staff training or something so i'll go back 2morow.  suppose results can't be bad if they're leaving it to me to deliver to doc.

what a start to the year eh.

When my Volvo was damaged the other year the insurance designated a garage.
They contacted them, so did I. No responce. I spoke to the insurance company and they gave me a list of local garages
they approved of. So I got to choose.

When some weed fueled student tart ran into the front of my Nissan I specified the garage I wanted to do the repairs as I didn't trust anyone else with my "classic" car. They just asked for his details and sanctioned him as an authorised repairer.

Got a call from the engineer and they arn't going to repair it, he made an offer of £1000 and i've bought it back for £100.  
need to get a headlight and indicator, just waiting to hear back off another itoc member about those.
so it hasn't worked out too bad, engineer thinks i won't need to get repairs verified by vosa but we'll see.
just been and collected car, ordered a wing off eblag which will do for now,     £35 and looks like a good match.

I'm quite sure your words will be echoed by other owners who feel the same about their motors what-ever the make/model

Good on you mate.  Get the old girl back up to her best, Im sure the lads on here will be able to help with parts, quick lick of paint and you'll never know what had happened and you might even have a fue quid left over for a tank of juice  

 Did the insurance engineer give you any idea of the category or if they had writen her off because some times they don't write them off when they give you the option to buy them back .
