Glad its starting to move. The top tip is to keep a camera in the car at all times. A bus hit my bright yellow camaro last summer and claimed it was my fault saying I wasn't over far enough. I had conclusive evidence as I had a photo of my tyre imprint in the left hand versge, showing clealy how far over I was. Be persistent and phone daily, that's what I did and in the end stagecoach admitted responsibility.

hmmm, interesting they were keen for you to seek repairs yourself, but perhaps this is not such a bad idea? if you found the right people to do it, you might end up with a better job than wherever the insurers send your coop.
just a thought.
good luck anyway matey hope it all works out

found out today that the third party HAVENT yet admitted liability.
noel dazley said they sent the car for repairs cos there sure theyl pay up as we have the witness statements.
but got the coupe back this afternoon! yay!
missed driving it, but the clutch seems very stiff,not sure if its just me, or if iv just got used to driving the oil burner.
if the cars been stood around my brakes sometimes feel wierd for a short while, can that be the same for the clutch, could it just feel stiffer cos its been stood for a week and a half?
anyone know?
cheers.

Hi bigtop

chuffed you got your car back mate, my 20vt was standing for a few weeks and the breaks are only starting to returning back to normal after a few 100 miles i wouldn't worry about that. a few hard breaking sessions should sort all that out

the clutch is probably a little stiff, but its mostly you getting used to your oil burner i suspect
