will do dont worry, just that money is short at the moment and i probably couldnt afford to shell out the excess cos my mot is up shortly :embarassed: Been told i got to go to 2 independant garages and get two quotes then fax them to the insurance
dont worry about affording it find a garage local or maybe someone on here can help what you do is get a quote and inform the insurance company you want them to do the work and you can negoitiate with the garage i did this before and never had to pay £400 excess as they gave them a price with the excess added

the garage normally collects the excess as the insurance company pays for the quote minus excess that and you could also pay the £200 for repairing it instead of your excess still claiming with the insurance but repairing it yourself and wait for a settlement this way you have your car going and you dont have pay the full amount of excess
