Forgot to say, had a brand new screen and full LWB exhaust (Milners) in May 2011 :)

Having spoken to the insurers, the offer made for the vehicle includes the title and salvage value has been set at £276. I don't have the time to break it myself and I can't afford to wait for it to be repaired, so would anyone care to make me an offer for it rather than just give it to...

I didn't think that DaveD's son intends that the aggrieved party should be left out of pocket. The question is more who should pay for the damage. I would think the other driver has earned the title of Mr Cock due to his behaviour which is to say the least difficult and calculated to cause...

Tease :p

On the plus side, I didn't sign anything on the V5 so maybe that would point towards me not handing it over. The implication in the letter requesting them was that it was to aid processing my claim :sly

Will try ringing them in the morning and creating a fuss about it. Wonder how they wil react when I tell them I want to use my legal cover to sue them :naughty

You live and learn, I suppose. At least I know not to go to the Co-op for insurance in future :doh

Already had to send V5 off. Where do I stand? :nenau

Unfortunately, can't afford to be without a work wagon while it is being fixed :doh

Well, according to the Co-ops assessor, my Maverick was worth all of £1,000 :mad: I managed to argue them up to £1,200 and so the search for Arbtruck #2 commences. Got a Mazda crew-cab pick-up to look at tomorrow, as well as another Maverick and a Daihatsu Fourtrak. To say I am thoroughly peed...

Surely the passenger has his own duty of care to not cause damage to your son's vehicle or any other vehicle and, in hitting the other car with the door of your son's car, has been negligent in that duty of care? If the passenger had been standing in the street independent of your son's vehicle...

Make sure you visit the 360 at Arromanche :thumb2

As above, mine has been written off in an accident not of my causing so I am looking for a replacement. Needs to be solid and reliable, preferably with a tow bar, as will be used for work. Any suggestions considered. :thumb2

As suspected, it is well beyond economical repair so I now have to find a replacement 4x4 capable of towing a chipper or log trailer. Anybody know of anything for sale near to me? Happy to drive other makes/models as long as they are up to the job. As an amusing aside, the hire car company which...

Leigh on Sea, mate :)

Just a heads up, Dave. You are in bandit country! Whenever we work on the trees down there, we have an extra body doing stag on the vehicles and tools :nono

Packed the poor old Mav off to the bodyshop today after stripping out any goodies that I could eg cd player and K&N. I have a horrible feeling that I won't be seeing the old girl again :(

Cheers mate, may well do that. Need to find out what the story with the suspension and chassis is first :nenau

He should be more worried about Smith v Leach Brain at the moment because the doctor has just told me the accident has badly aggravated a previous work injury :doh
