Car was delivered back to me at lunchtime.
As far as I can tell the bodywork looks perfect - they had their top guy on it apparently. Went for a long test drive and its handling as well as it did prior to the accident (feels like they've added a few more horses while they were at it - god its fast !
)I’m very impressed with the turnaround – LV insurance acted fast and agreed the pay out immediately and although their chosen repairers went over their estimated completion date by a couple of days, 10 days from accident to completion is good going in my book. I can take it back if there’s anything I’m not happy with and their work is guaranteed for 5 years. Now I just have to prepare myself for the inevitable kick in the nuts when my insurance premiums go up, which I’ve been told could be as early as next month as I pay by instalments.
Anyway, insurance aside, I’m so happy to get my Zed back as good as new. The rain has stopped and we're off for a drive – it’s so good to be back behind the wheel of the beaut.
Car looks as good as it did 3 weeks ago....shame you get the kick in the wallet though.Is protected NCD not a viable financial option,worked for me when I had a big claim a few years ago.
I'd comfort myself with the thought that the hit & run driver will get what's coming to him/her.....karma and all that.

Can't actually remember who I'm covered by but had a total loss on my 1st Elise and they reinsured me with the replacement Elise no problem,still had the full NCD.....don't recall the premium being excessive.I'm still with this company as I was told that to change companies and declare the total loss would result in an increase in premiums.Would I be right in saying that I only have to declare the accident to prospective insurers for 5 years...meaning that I could then shop around?
Glad to hear you're sorted Colin!
Wonderful afternoon’s driving, followed by an evening ‘top down’ drive to Lytham and back with a walk on the beach.
To answer a couple of questions: I do have the full protected NCD, which may help a little, but my understanding is that the premiums will still go up (I will let you know by how much
)
As for parking: call me stupid, but I’m going to park in exactly the same place
I believe the two incidents are random and not related to the road layout or the parking positions. However, I have fashioned a high-viz reflective strap that stretches across the windscreen and reflects back a bright yellow luminous light when caught in car headlights.
