The Startec light will be a problem as they are long NLA and unless you get lucky and find an odd one, people are now asking £400+ for minters ! 
Don't believe him! I had the same situation and when he got home he decided to try and blame me, took months to sort out, I had to go back to the scene and take a load of pictures, print off google earth pics etc etc, if id have asked for a witness at the scene it would have stopped the faff aboutGavla wrote:Yeah driver admits complete liability”¦doubt i will have any problems on that side
Witnesses saved my butt when a pedestrian jumped in front of my van, just to say how important a witness report is, as well as a police report.
Why?! It's cheap enough to get these insured Fully Comp!Gavla wrote:I am only insured 3rd party...???
That needed to be on a classic policy with an agreed value on Fully comp terms in all truth.Gavla wrote:@ Gert
I was told that after a car is 25 they are only insured 3rd party???????

My insurance has said they will contact his insurance only to inform them that they are aware and will be letting them deal with it. They have confirmed that it will not affect my no claims bonus or premiums...
Then people need to think again, Having something like this 3rd party insured is madness in my mind.diable wrote:Good luck trying to get a car insured on a classic policy when its parked on the road in Kensington.B7 wrote:That needed to be on a classic policy with an agreed value on Fully comp terms in all truth.Gavla wrote:@ Gert

But seeing that the other guys insurance will be dealing, search every classic dealer for similar cars and DO NOT let them decide the "market value". Make sure it's you that supplies them with the evidence of a true current value. Unfortunately, you will have a fight on your hands.
Get Lees advice ASAP.
Hope you get the claim sorted, just need to sort out the front wing as well.
Not always the case. My wifes GTI was hit up the back hard! I was with Zurich at the time. At that time, they repaired anything with a repair cost of up to 90% of the value of the car! I was gutted as I wanted it written off and never to see the very bent shell ever again!Nobby_N wrote:That's not what I'm saying fella, if they value it too low they will write it off! From my experience if the damage is say a 1/3 to 1/2 they write em off, easier that way than fix and find more issues!
