Thanks for that
I agree too, but what i don't agree with is the way they have come to that decision i.e. because I say so not because we’ve checked it and it is. The actual words were “Yeah it’s a shame they’re great little cars aren’t they, I got one myself. Anyway it’s a CAT B so I’ll take it away for you”
Now I might sound a little retarded but umm hang on a mo there, how about you can f*** right off and I’ll keep it thanks, and the discs and pads I just put on all round cam belt just done 4 brand new tyres and the 70 notes of diesel in it.
Because Glasses Guide says average mileage for that 10 year old car is 90k??? it’s over at 120k one of his reasons for CAT B was that the gearbox could be damaged.
I've been pushing him now and asking awkward questions, thing is because it's my wifes car he's made a couple of assumptions that 1, i know nothing about cars and 2, i've not seen the car post crash. But the thing is it only happened just up the road so i have photo's of the car and the policeman let me drive the car home.
List of damage i got from the assesor is
Drivers door, driver wing, front bumper, headlight, driveshaft, hub, hub bearing, cv joints might be shot, gearbox might have internal damage so it's a CAT B mate.
"but i drove it home and it sat at home for 3 days before it was picked up there was no oil on the drive there was no strange noises and the guy who picked it up drove it onto his truck"
Well I phoned a friend who works at the approved repairs and have said I can jig the car to see if it’s straight. Told the assessor this and now as if by magic the car is now CAT C so it’s fixing itself!
