almost exactly what happened to my green GLS 4 years ago, my light cluster survived though

some inconsiderate s***s about

[millwall]

what an arse  some people need shooting  feel sorry for you  happened to my mrs last year they just drove off

[colv6]

i just hope i dont get the problems lizzie got but not started to well she is due to be picked up on tuesday by the repair garage, but they have told me the insurance wants an estimate first.

if there's driveways across from where you're parked, check the cars for damage

my mate had a corsa  parked in the street which was written off by a stupid cow reversing out of her drive, she left a piece of her car in the road, and when she came back, he matched the piece to her car and robbed her of her no-claims

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but be prepared for a battle... That will almost certainly be written off as uneconomical

if you want to keep the car DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE IT TO THE GARAGE!!!!,
thats a definite write off insurance wise, theywill just tell you its beyond economical repair and offer you a silly amount, by far thebest way is to replace the light cluster so the car is road worthy, then take it to your favourite repairers to get a quote, insurance will tell you a list of thier approverd repairers but can tell you they will say the same!!,
as said if you want to keep the car and repair it yourself or by a trusted bodyman, do not alow them to get ther hands on it!!
with the figure for it finally agreed between you and your insurance company you should b able to repair it very well and painted, will need a vic check afterwards, your choice which way you go but if the insurance people pick it up you will never see it again!!

Bad news Col and after all the work you've had done on it as well If they do write it off you can always buy it back and repair it yourself, i'm sure Andy would do a good job on it

Indeed Had the same thing happen to my dads Cavalier. Looking at the damage though it must have been quite a bang.

well good news after talking to both the insurance and the repairer the car was picked up on wednesday, got a phone call today repairs authorised and car back to me on the 14th.

so now this is parked outside my place not up to lizzie's standards but ok

[Omegatoy]

Hot damn thats great news!!!

[Dishevelled Den]

Yes, that's great news indeed Col. after what was a despicable act by a gutless individual devoid of principle.

[sotmh]

Quite agree.  So much hassel for you afterwards.  I feel for you.

Sorry to go of topic slightly, thought the rules had been changed on buying cars back form the insurance companies now?  Had heard that only a couple of companies will let you have them back at a push??
