There is a bodyshop round the corner from me Nige, did a smashing job of my rear bumper, if you want the number, or too far away? He had a 75 once and likes the cars , so even better.

I know that photographs can give a false impression of damage but this seems to expose the utter absurdity of the car insurance system. LV wants to send that car to the crusher because a minor scrape would cost more to rectify than its trade value. What has the trade value got to do with anything? Nige has paid his premium and the insurance company has accepted the risk so they should pay up! In this case LV won't suffer any loss anyway because they're recovering it from the third party. The same argument appies to their insurer: pay up!

We buy comprehensive policies believing that they're going to be just that, but very often they are not. In situations like Nige's, a TPF&T policy saves you from the antics of your own insurer which are not in your best interests. In my experience the third party insurer does not resist if they are rightly liable to rectify your damage. This approach does involve taking a realistic view of the risk at which you place yourself every time you drive your car anywhere. Unlike the insurance company who bases this on statistics, you can make your own judgement based on your own personal circumstances, and you'll have to accept paying for any damage which you accidentally cause yourself to your own car.

I know that this idea will find few takers, but Nige is not the only one to find himself under a lot of stress and having to do a lot of work when he thought that he could relax and let an apparently benevolent insurance company sort everything out.

I will now reach for my tin hat and take to the trenches.

+ get contact details for any witnesses.

Absolutely agree, comprehensive insurance is ONLY of use when you are the one 100% responsible for the damage to your car. Unless that is the case then make sure when notifying them of an accident that it is only a notification and not a claim. Then pursue the 3rd party insurer aggressively, do not accept the first offer, or any offer until it's obvious you are absolutely at the best you can get (which may not be as much as you want). And remember, your car is yours right up until you agree (if at all) to a full write-off with no buy-back (this is why it's important to recover it either to your home, or your choice of garage/repair workshop).

In my case the only reason these days for having comprehensive cover is that it's cheaper than tpft most of the time.

From the engineers estimate, I think they priced the job from rimmers..

Anyone know it they are still discounting to keep the cars on road?
