Sorry to hear about that. Best to find the price before you think about insurence, the way it is today. Hope you get all fixed up

Conditions are certainly bad at the moment, last weekend I hit black ice on a slip road at about 70mph and completely lost my car, luckily managed to sort of regain control although at the time it didn't seem as if I would. This was at lunch time and the temp was about 10 degrees out!!

Hope you're back on the road soon
