Yes the insurance will however I had a bad experience with their approved repairer which resulted in the ombudsman being involved so I arrange the repair myself

I have had 2 car crashes in 9month this one has affected me mentally, I am taking medication for this. Any way on 20 august they assessed my car I specified to them I need a diesel car that said that's fine only time I could get there was today that worked for both of us. Arrived today no diesel car, after trying to arrange alternative I advised I would have to take the petrol one. I advised him I struggle with driving it as all I do is stall and over rev it he told me that I would have to pay if I damaged it I said no as I requested diesel they failed to provide what was promised, he told me to fix it elsewhere. He is fully aware that I am struggling with nerves and just berated me for being honest! And Daz no it's not doncaster directly but the body shop for all dealerships. I have spent £100's at that franchise and had courtesy cars from them one for 4 months while mines was repaired but no more! I even asked them fro details in the fabia coming in October but they can stick it I will get a BMW

. Avoid this body shop at all costs! They can't even fulfil a basic request with 4 weeks notice when you question this and honestly view your concerns you are berated by an idiot in a suit who has neglible people skills and no idea of customer service the only way I can see he got the job was to murder the organ grinder while he slept! lol

Not sure what he did but it worked brilliantly :-)

Anyone in the West Yorkshire area can help with re-threading a glow plug or help me move my car to a garage please

It worked yeah

I think we may have been to same place was it ls12 area? And did it work?

i dont think mine has £600 left in it its been a problem from day one :-) i only need another 18 months before I can change car

my 04 Vrs has been doing exactly the same thing for about 18 months 2 years, I did not think anything about it as I am constantly on motorway and the car is old, I just recently had its clutch and flywheel done and I was told the gearbox is Foo bar, however after ringing around several transmission centres I found one in Leeds I explained the issue and he said bring it to me let me drive it, he knew exactly what it was I was describing and he did drive it and has told me the repair can be done with box in situ. He asked me to call my VAG specialist to ask him to call the centre so he could explain what to do, I did this but my guy said its not possible as it has an “internal issue” and refused to call. The transmission centre has given me a number of someone he can do it and he told me that it’s a bearing ( not which one) in the box that’s moving and they can put a shim on it to stop it whining about £50 repair which is brilliant as cheapest re-build so far is £650.00 and cheapest 2nd hand ( which I don’t want to do ) is £450.00. Its going in on Tuesday so I will let you know if its worked. I cant se why the transmission centre would lie as he is not making any money from me

I was told by a bodyshop manager ( not the one that did the repair) I am gonna call the dealer today

Hi another query I have since discovered ( although I am not sure how true it is ) that you can no longer get the bumper for the VRS and that its a standard bumper that has been adapted! I was not made aware of this and would have liked to have known as I would have looked at the possibility of a repiar to the exisiting one rather than a new bumper

here you go guys thank you

ok guys i have the pictures no one else can see it but I know there is a difference with the shape before and after accident I have also sent a picture of the funny peg things that I have not seen before and the bumper gap

I did say this to the man yesterday that if the bumper wont line up to the lamp then remove both and put bumper back first then line lamp to bumper he looked at me like I had killed his first born I will go get a picture and post it thanks guys

Hi George Iahve a picture of it before the accident but not since the repair, I know I thoughtit was wierd they kept saying 51 plate I changed the plate so I know its an 04 model the new bumber has some strange marks on the corner as well that show where the splitter and the bumper join. I can get a picture this afternoon if I go out to car park.
