At the end of January, some twat wrecked all the panels on the drivers side of my Zed, including the front wing. At the time I noticed that the clutch seemed a lot heavier than usual but this was dismissed by the body shop that did the repairs (before they had even looked at the car).

 

I've since discovered that the clutch booster vacuum system is leaking (while investigating a crappy idle) and I'm pretty certain the leak is at the tank which must have been damaged by the collision. I don'y see how any those hoses could have developed a leak.

 

Would I be wasting my time chasing the Insurers to fix it. When I took delivery of the repaired car I wrote "Repair Unchecked" on the delivery receipt.

You should contact the solicitors that took on your case,

 

anything resulting from a crash must be repaired,

if they find that the damage is caused as a result of the accident, then its not unusual to submit a later claim to the insurance co.
