Hi
Ok so my wife had a bump in my Puma when a Seat went in for too close a look at our rear wheel arch- which naturally exloded on impact. (tin worm et al). It turns out to be her fault but that is not the issue here.
In any case we have a buckled alloy and a bump in the side but a still very drivable Puma, I will replace the wheel, thinking she would be helpful the wife asked our insurers to come out to repair- without asking for any advice. So they came along and the assessor said he would advise a certain amount of work but the insurer would probably write the car off as it is in excess of the cars value.
So my question is, how do i stop the write off? I will arrange the work myself and would never have asked them to affect a repair.
Any advice gratefully received and many thanks in advance.
Thank you
Simon
