  1. well! off itwent on the back of a wagon this afternoon! and the replaced it as promised.....with a 5 door 1.2 clio.......in maroon! never mind!at least its getting repaired........4 months late but its getting done!
  2. im going to ring the garage as soon as they open on monday, if they mess me about again then im going to insist, it goes to a VW bodyshop, because that way they know the repair is going to cost a lot more so they either get it sorted ASAP or i reckon the quote from VW will render it a write off!
  3. Well, i shouldnt really have expected anything less......but theyre not coming for the VR! the garage says from the pictures it looks driveable, it would be.......except when the lorry hit it, it pulled all the wiring out, so the back lights dont work, theyre trying to tell me that at the time of the estimate, they were working......despite the fact that when they came out to asses the damage, the asessor didnt get out of his car, he sat there, looked at it a bit and drove off! so how do they know that they were working when they had no way of testing them!! im getting so sick of this now, bee
  4. i hope i never have to use them for anything else! its not woth the hassle, its probably cost me more in phonecalls that the money i saved between sticking with admiral over going to flux! at least now though, even if they come back as saying they cant prove it was the lorrys fault, its not going to affect my no claims because theyre are paying for everything, and if they make a loss then so be it! thats what they say over the phone anyway! looking forward to getting a lumpfull of power under my right foot again, instead of having to drive the offroader everywhere! its big and noisy and turns
  5. well theyre picking it up this aft and the hire car im getting is a.......drum roll....... a 5 door clio! after fighting and fighting with the insurance company, they wont insure me on anything bigger that a class a hire car. (and its in the fine print on my policy) gutted about the hire car, but at least theyre finally sorting the VR out. but once ive got another years out of admiral im going back to flux. Admiral have been a complete nightmare from the start! and at least with a proper insurance company ill get an equivalent car if i need it! when my 328 needed to be sorted after somebody r
  6. i know so am i! although its still may need to go......for somehing slightly bigger. but i know as soon as i hear that VR roar again im just going to put my foot down and tell the missus its staying! and we will just have to make do with a slightly smaller car than what we need!
  7. Dont know if any one remembers, but my VR got swiped by an arctic back in October, they authorised repairs but just never did anything about it. after hours of phonecalls and fighting with admiral i rang the FSA and the Financial Ombudsman this morning............about an hour later i gets a phonecall back......... from Admiral, aploigising profuseley and saying they are taking it away to be repaired ASAP! i dont have to pay an excess or anything, and theyre organising a better courtesy car than the repaires give (told them im not giving them what is basically the R32 of its generation and get

    Oh dear

    I think you'd have exchanged numbers' date=' names, addresses etc if there was any damage. Its always easier to laugh at someone elses expense. And it was quite funny! I laughed at Katie when she fell over in the snow. Its just natural. ;-) [/quote'] WIN!!!!! why cant some tidy bird roll her car into my house?
