Did nt even know he'd done it and told me i must have been speeding. Guy was at least 85 and doubt if he can hit a car and not know about it that he should be allowed on the road.

A few q's I quoted him £75 (2002 golf mk4)  to get the part and get my mate to fit thought it was fairly reasonable. He says he ll get one from a scrap yard.

Tried to be amicable and not use insurance but If I did go the insurance route ( i have a witness) what would happen? I presume they would fit a new one?? Would ~I have to drive miles at my expense and my time to their insurance recommended place or would they just offer me a settlement figure?? (albeit a small one)

Any ideas betfairians??

I believe they would argue about it for a while then begrudgingly pay you about half what you are owed then increase your next 25 years premiums by £250 a year.

It would be his insurance company not mine

Insurance companies contract a firm to repair cars. They will collect and return car.

Your premiums wouldn`t increase if he is liable and his insurance company organised repairs.

no i should hope they wouldnt go up.

Why not just offer me some money ie the £75. Must be cheaper than the insurance company to pay a company to come and collect repair and drop off again

Don't forget the whiplash when claiming Spykes.

If you read the small print of any insurance policy you will find that you are insured against every possible scenario apart from the one that's just happened to you (whatever that may be)
