Spend last week tidying up the rust spots on the arches, some bugger in a white van at a roundabout has run up my back and creased the bumper.., insurance are being very cagey due to its age and mileage... Not best impressed at the minute......

Oh dear, hope your ok.

Is it your insurance or theirs being cagey??

Stand your ground mate, it's not your fault so it shouldn't inconvenience you!!

Mine as they saying its age and mileage, they hinting it maybe uneconical repair. New bumper, painting with labour has got to be pushing a grand in a repair shop. Just Under £40 those of us that fix our cars with bits from eBay. My worry is what damage has been done underneath the bumper that's not immediately visible. So I want it looking at by a proper garage.

Think you'll be looking at possibly a new crash can and a bumper.

Maybe £150 off the bay of the e for the two, nice common colour goes in your favour.

Have you thought of asking white van tit for cash and no insurance involved??

Insurance are taking it away to hopefully sort it out.. Wonder what hire car I will get... M series BMW, Porche 911, Ferrari.
Last time I had a Peugeot 107, I couldn't even go out in it as a family with three kids don't fit in the back. Not enough seat belts. I had a people carrier for a good reason. But that didn't matter for 11 weeks while they repaired my car

When my mondeo got smashed all down the side i took it in for arranged repair and they brought me a 1.6 astra as a courtesy car. I simply rejected it because in my insurance it stated that the courtesy car would of of similar size and engine size. When i told them that they took it back and brought me an insignia instead which i had for a few weeks. Check what it says on your insurance under courtesy cars, it might say the same as mine did.

I've got a VW Up. Really basic model No remote central locking, a hand windy thing that makes the windows go up and down, not seen one of those for a while.
