Now we swapped details but there is nothing wrong with my car at all what do you think I should do, tell them to sort out their own car or tell my insurance?

Insurance, and be prepared to answer the solicitors when they phone to see if you've been injured, I'm glad I went that way, currently having Chiropractic treatment for whip-lash, apparent injury at time of incident-NONE, 2-3 weeks later and it was hurting, 5 month's later its starting to get better!

lee celtic:
Hi All

Well you were right about the whip lash though your not allowed to call it that anymore  [-Xyou have to call it over extention injury :roll:

both flanks ,shoulders and Neck acheing so I'm on anti flam and pain meds  :->

Had an injury thats not your fault etc etc etc....

Told the insurers monday they'er getting back to me soon....

I had a lady run into the back of a postie escort van at 30mph when I was in a line of traffic and not moved outside a school a few years back. Royal Mail made a claim but I didnt go to the doctors or anything. Wish I did as a few years on my back gets twinges now and again. I can't go and see the doctor as they only last a few minutes and then dont come back for a random xxxx amount of time. If I called the doctor when I had the twinges I very much doubt the surgery would even answer the phone by the time the twinges were still there, going by the amount of surgeries I have called recently for an HGV medical.  :evil:

Well I told the insurance and they say to change the tow plate and brackets as they wouldn't insure me to tow anything if I didn't and also the drop plate nolonger fits the reciever so that has to be changed and the back door is clipping the bumper so thats going too...

All the above is being payed for by the other insurers along with a car for while mines being worked on ,I have also been told that as the car is so old and it might not easy to find new genuine parts to replace the old ones that I can have non OEM replacements to the same value as long as I use a recognised fitter to put them on so I am looking for a bumper and tow bar /plate and drop plate . Ideas anyone???

muddyjames:
Was it a dixon bate tow bar you had on your landy?  ;)

look in your yellow pages for fitters. As for the bumper. You can adjust the height of it on the 2 mounting bolts. I suspect it just got pushed up.
