Sorry, yes

[tunnie]

ouch! Not that bad though, I backed into a brand new VW Passat, I took out its wing/bumper and front headlight, that repair bill was £2.5k 

Guess at that price it will be classed a write off

Forgot CAT F for fire damage

Mind you, it was all from memory and 10 year old knowledge

Come on mate, we know you are smarter than a 10 year old!

I'm scrapping a car this weekend - you're not too late to get parts of it cut off if needed. Call me tomorrow afternoon at the latest

Sounds like your getting on well with your new Plasma cutter then! 

Still looking around for one myself and have cash burning a hole in my pocket!

if only you knew.

I'd wholeheartedly recommend the cheap (ish) one from Plasmapart

Finally, engineer reports, it's a write off. Genius.

However I have also been able to discuss options with the claim manager. They are prepared to entertain a part repair. They fix the suspension and steering and I fix the cosmetic damage myself, second hand door and wing, or whatever. It was too late in the day to finalize plans and get this agreed, if possible at all. I guess that will depend on the maths.

Almost exactly seven days since and progress is.....  Slow, to say the least.

Well its moving forward, its clear it was going to be a write off. Almost any impact on an Omega will mean a write off these days 

Just need to bargin with them now

That sounds like a good plan if the costs work out as at least you can then drive it while sourcing and fitting body parts

I'm assuming "Part Repair" means that either they will do the steering and suspension as discussed but not pay you out or that you'll have to pay for it out of the agreed settlement though

[Entwood]

"Partial Repair" ... 

It's a possibility I guess, but one I've not heard of before. I suppose it all boils down to what they'll pay for, what you have to pay for, and what "other" finacial agreements are made.....  complicated...

One thing that does occur to me .. it won't be a write off so no Cat C,D etc to worry about ... that "might" affect insurability. Resale probably doesn't matter as you'll most likely keep it until it dies ..
