It’s my own insurance, liability hasn’t yet been determined yet, for that reason I cannot elaborate

I’ve been told it’s a total loss and have to give them the courtesy car back after having it a matter of hours! still don’t know the settlement figure yet though as lines are down I'm gutted tbbh, I’ve spent so much money on the car in 6 short months! can anyone say (I know that this is a Skoda forum) if BMW 3 series are any good?

Can I please quickly ask, at what stage is a car declared a ‘write off’? is it where the total cost of repairs exceeds the market value of the car by a total 100% or is it a lesser percentage? i really don’t want to lose the car, but I’m trying to steel myself if I need a replacement or not

Thank you, it’s coming up with resale valuations, is that what I need? I'm asking as it’s currently on a fine line (I'm told), between repairs and write off, so thus was curious what market value is I'm hoping that it doesn’t come down to it, but I’ve got to get my options open it’s only had a tow bar fitted around 3 weeks ago, cambelt and water pump before that and 4 brand new Michelin cross climate tyres week of ownership. I’ve had the car 6 months!

I’m just curious what the market value of my car was 😩 long story short I was involved in a rtc and repairs are extensive 😢 what would I be looking at getting back? its a SE L fsh, October 2015 (65 plate), excellent condition (usually), 82k on the clock diesel. Added extras: sat nav, distance/ brake sensors, automatic lights and windscreen wipers, DAB, Bluetooth, estate

I’ve finally had chance to check the mud flaps , no grazing. Which re-begs the question as to what it could be?

Where did I say I refer to the service as a check up? I’m trusting a Skoda main dealership to do both, I’ll be surprised if it fails on something that they should’ve picked up on the service, I’m paying a premium for the Skoda dealership service ‘stamp’ I know, but I want if it needs them OEM parts

The garage I took the car to was a Skoda main dealership, I took it in after the car developed a ‘noise’, it was actually this forum that said it was the cambelt pretentioners after a video, the garage simply confirmed that, I chose the cambelt to be done as it was coming up due and a ‘while you’re in there’ , I had the water pump done too. The initial check after purchase was the same Skoda dealership and as the noise hadn’t developed then, it was given a clean bill of health i do have a full print out of each service ever carried out on the car it was a fleet car before I bought it, so had 75k mileage, I’ve since upped it to 85k in little over 6 months

85k mileage on a 65 plate octy, it was a fleet car before I purchased it with very regular services, but I’m still keeping a firm eye on it iykwim

I’ve very recently, last week in fact, had a towbar fitted. i opted for a witter towbar with Westfalia electrics, all in cost me £537, I’m more than happy that the electrics were connected properly to the cabin as certain things change when the electrics are hooked up, the reverse sensor screen stopping operation and showing a picture of a trailer hooked up for example

My theory is if anything needs doing for passing the MOT it’ll be flagged up on the service, thus saving time having to repeat any MOT the garage I purchased the car from I trusted so much I immediately upon collecting took to another garage for inspection lol, it’s this first (purchase) garage that MOTed the car i found out within days of ownership that the cambelt needed doing, and I knew the tyres were worn so replaced them all around anyway so it’s just for peace of mind I’m gonna do this early

Hi when I change the angle on my left wing mirror for parking, the right mirror angles down with it, same goes when I bring it back up again (I hope that this is making sense). when I reangle the right mirror the left mirror stays put what is going on?

I’ve since booked my car in for a service, but what does this inspection light on the dashboard mean? the Skoda dealership said (after checking) that my service isn’t due for another approximate 10k miles. I've booked the car in for a annual service check up and MOT in October, still outside of this inspection light window. MOT not due until February, but I want to tie both service and MOT together iykwim so so what is this inspection light trying to tell me? there are no other lights up on the dashboard

I do indeed have mud flaps , I’m quite busy with work this week, but as soon as I get a chance I’ll have to have a look 😊

Ok maybe I exaggerated lol its still a fairly steep gradient though took the trailer out for the first time the other day, have to admit rolling it down the drive way was a tad scary! Rolling it back up took two of us, one pulling, one to stop it rolling back down lol even then taking the trailer down the driveway for the maiden drive was stop start to check car connections were still in the green neither of us were brave enough to attempt reversing just yet lol
