thats quite a list!

just under

I'm pleased you got your vRs back, and hopefully will soon have your car back on the road

From the list above, items No1 (wheels kerbed), & No7 (front tyres bald), I think justify the insurance company carrying out some additional work/checks.

Ref: item No1........I would want a full front and rear wheel alignment and steering geometry check done and any defects rectified.

Ref: item No7........because the front tyres came back bald, I think its fair to assume the car (engine and transmission) has been given some serious stick, therefor, I would want the cam belt and clutch replacing.

These are just my veiws, based on what I would want if it was my car.

Hope everything works out OK

i'm trying for both of those but its taken a fair amount of work to get it this far, but you never know!!!!

Adam glad to see they are repairing it, however have they given you a value for your car? iirc if the work is more that 60% of the cars value they normally right it off, from what happened to my MG.

Just curious.

they valued my octy at

It might have been easier telling us what you don't need doing!

Hope it gets sorted quickly and easily for you

They certainly had fun, it would seem
