Just to keep all you guys informed, and first may I thank those who sent thier kind words after my run-in with the annonymous, baseball cap wearing, nova driving gimp!! Its not good news, after a week at the insurance companies approved repairer, an independent engineer has decided that the damage to my car was not the result of an accident, and is refusing to authorize any repairs. He has said that because i tried to replace the suspension items i though were damaged, before i realised the severity of the damage, he has deemed it an old injury, and refuses to authorize the go ahead. To add insult to injury, he said the car is only worth scrap and has informed my insurance company that the cars not safe to be on the road!!!!

Complained directly to the insurance company, what a waste of time that was!!! So at the moment im shafted, the suns out, and i got no motor.

Moral of the story, dont try to fix yer car guys, the insurance guys are looking for any way not to help you, there all b*stards!!!!! :duffer:

sorry for ya mate.............well if mine is still here next week, we can have a deal, as sadly time is running out for me, and my zed needs to go, insurance co they f**king suck big time!

My 100th thread, and it was'nt a good one, some one pass me my rifle!!!!

Update, after the snottyest of e-mails to my insurance company, they have decided to now send an engineer to inspect my car who has been instructed that I am an awkward customer, and if he comes back to me with the same stuck up atitude I had from the first one, I will be sueing them after I have had an independent inspection done. I wont be taking guff from them again!!!!!

So you should be awkward. It's your right. You pay the :xxx:'s enough money. If they don't help, get hold of the insurance ombudsman and tell them the story so far. Best of luck with it all mate. Chin up, pip pip what
