Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
You seem to relish contradicting every post that dbug makesOh no I don't
I think you will find that case law for 3rd party liabilities is they have to put you into the same position as you were before the accident happened and if this is more than the value of the car then so be it. This used to come up quite regularly in Honest Johns motoring column in Saturday's DT. His advice was if they don't pay up take it to the small claims court.
I'm sure if you do a search or ask the question on his website, you will get similar advice.
Correct
has prompted me to look it up mate "The volume of sea ice in the Arctic hit a new low this past winter, according to observations from the European Space Agency's (Esa) Cryosat mission."Which is precisely what Rods third paragraph says
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23964372
Well the amount of ice has certainly changed from 2012 which had a warmer than average Arctic summer, with more ice melting than normal. But this year it has been much colder with almost 1 million square miles more ice and the Northwest Passage totally blocked with pack ice all summer.
The two countries that currently embrace communism North Korea and Cuba struggle to feed themselves and the populace have very low standards of living.
Cuba is a third world country, don't expect to find people living in luxury, but:
Infant mortality:
Cuba 4.76 deaths per 1,000 live births
USA 5.9 deaths per 1,000 live births
(2013 figures from the CIA World Factbook)
No surprise there with the drug taking problems in the US.
quote from OP "pulled fuse number 7 ... the only thing that changed was the interior lights on the doors are now not working."the main int light is still working okno 7 fuse on mine is all int lights 2003 dieselSounds like this applies to yours too if the int lights went out. Silly question but are you sure you waited for the int lights to time out before measuring? Ideally wait 15 minutes for everything to shut down with doors closed and a brick on the bonnet alarm switch before a test.?

. Thinking about it later the air con is gas not liquid so it can't be that can it? It was under the engine n/s near the wishbone as I recall. Air Con/brakes/power steering all work OK. My coolant is red.
As said back to condiion immediately prior to damage - if to a better standard you will be charged the assessed "betterment" charge (eg if any panel had rust/damage not caused by incident)as I understand it,if the value of the car is less than the cost of repairs then its a write off.insurance only has to put you back in the financial position you were before the incident.ie if a car is worth £300 then their maximum liability is £300.would love to be proved wrong tho.
Just stand your ground, and threats of court action usually work in these circumstances. Immaterial if costs exceed cars value - you are entitled to have your car back in the condition it was pre accident, as it was not in any way your fault.
As I understand it as I am not involving my insurance company, and I am not at fault, then I am under no contract with anyone where these mechanisms or principles would come into play. It's just purely rectification of damage to my property regardless of it's value.

£3 billion in 1945 is £110 billion now but GDP has gone up too, the figure to watch is debt as a %age of GDP. 100% is not bad I suspect some individuals here have debts >1000% of their annual income when you include mortgages.
Not so sure on that one dbdb.
The UK's National Debt in 1945 was £3 billion. Today in 2013 it is £1.5 Trillion.
Now I may be wrong, and no doubt our resident financial guru, Rods2, will put us right, but I think the current percent of National Debt v. GDP is much higher than in 1945.Here are the latest OECD figures, it's now up to 109% (compared to 240% in 1945): http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/economics/government-debt_gov-debt-table-en. The recent rise is because GDP has been clobbered I think.
So went to pick my 12 up this afternoon, and the Muppets have lost them or given them to someone else,That'll be someone on ebay where they are being offered at up to £10.99. Each.
Apparently the Clear stuff if more like a Gel, but the Bottles would leak or get hairline cracks in them and the stuff would get everywhere and become a slip hazard,Yes first one I was offered today leaked and had a crack in the cap.
