The insurance company have paid out now and the monies in the bank. Big Russ is coming over to sort out what parts we need and once they are here it will all go over to his to be fixed. He recons two days should do it. I will then take it for an MOT, not needed according to the rules, but I think prudent and its due soon anyway. Insurance company recommended I keep all receipts etc and take pictures of the work, before, during and after to verify quality should it ever be needed, or I wish to sell it on.
Just an aside, I know these V50s are good at holding value but just realised that what the insurance has paid out is only £460.00 less than I paid for it at a dealers, less discount and before trade in taken off. That's in just under 2.5 years ownership. I think that has to be the lowest depreciation I've ever had or heard of on an every day car.
