long version.... long and boring, the wifes car needs the front and rear tracking checked, a new wheel and some paint, all at less then 20mph. Someone apparently having their foot slip off the clutch at a roundabout and hitting her rear half as she went passed but that is not why i needed the light but the run up to it. She drove after exchanging details for about 20 minutes stopping at some red traffic lights. The engine stopped as she has auto shut off but would not start. the headlights when out when she tried.
Strange but I tried a jump start and nothing, had the car recovered home. Insurance today have out us in touch with repair company, hire car being arranged, also put in touch with a claims lawyer, been told not to drive car it will be collected, been advised it is a non fault incident and no claims not a/effected... bet premium is. Admiral insurance have been so far very good. Lets see what the repair looks like
