probable write off on Thurs, now have the insurance comp from the at fault driver contacting me to sort the claim, do I use them or my own insurance as already started claim with them? why would I use his insurance?!

because you need to claim on his insurance. Your company will do the work though. That's what you pay them for

As ben said^ Hes the at fault driver so his side will be paying!

Might be an issue with your NCB if your insurance company is providing a hire car though.

It's sunny days like these that I wish the mini was taxed so that I can take it for a spin....

When it gets to the point where I can't find bigger all, it's time for a tidy :-)

I find it harder to find stuff once i have tidied up.
I sent ages yesterday looking for my long arm grips which i knew had been on my welding trolley for the last 6 months but as i had tidied up they had been 'put away'

Well , I spent a good three hours in there and made reasonable progress, think I'll need at least another three hours at some point during the week but I'm feeling more positive about it. Go me !!

why does my mini run so well with a nearly scrap engine? almost no oil pressure at idle and more smoke than fire at an oil refinery! never heard an engine so smooth and eager to rev

acrowot
my race engine was like that
Feb 08 2015 09:32 AM -
Miniminx71
You're brave. If I had an engine like that, I wouldn't dare even think about it, let alone post the thought. Tempting fate on a biiiig scale! :-D

Been quoted 700 by garage I use but monday insurance garage will check it out, my insurance have said if it's 700ish on a 2000 car they'd write it off. Will see what happens mon & then either all nice and fixed or new car plus buy it back of cheap enough :-)

without being the bearer of bad news, a 26 year old mini without an agreed valve will be written off, if your lucky it might not be deemed non-repairable and scraped.

To be honest I'm expecting her to be written off so am prepared for the bad news, they said on phone will most likely be end result...If can buy her back will do but wait and see for that.
