Rang the company handling the claim today and they said they have given the garage the go ahead to repair the car, which is good news! But I have just bought another car today so the clio will be up for sale when I get it back!!

Why would I need to provide bank statements to prove I could afford to pay for a hire car of which I haven't done anything wrong to be needing one?

What kind of money do you think ill be offered if it is written off? Looking on autotrader there's only 8 for sale, the cheapest trade is £1895 with 83,000 miles on, the cheapest private is £2500, with only 51,000 on but its a year older than mine. Am I not supposed to be offered a price that...

Yes I think you are right! But i'm not sure who will want to buy it as a registered CAT D even though its only really a door!

My insurance has sorted the repair and my hire car but then they will be claiming it back through her insurance.

If anything I want the wheels back, paid £200 in December 2013 for them to be refurbished and had 4 new tyres put on at the same time!

Hello, failed my mot Friday due to the rear load sensor being seized, so i need to free it off. That bolt at the bottom, does that need removing to free it off as that looks like its holding the arm on? Does it pivot off those 2 pins at the sides and how much should it move once free? Thanks!!

No they don't have the rod or spring. I just want to know if it matters that is has been tie wrapped up and has kind of seized in that position. It does move abit though if I try to move it.

Track rod end is sorted now. I've been under car and the rear load sensor has been tie wrapped up and is held in place there, it has a little bit of movement but not a lot. The garage I took it to are saying i need to get a rod and spring fitted, they didn't say anything about the tie wrap.
