Insurance write off? In England (UK)?
I had a car accident at the end of June this year, the car was a ford fiesta 1.25 2004 LX, the front bash bumper, bonnet was damaged but the two front lights remained fine so it didn't have too much of a bash. A guy from the insurance company came to inspect the car, they said the car is a write off (the car was running and driving fine), they took the car away and said to send them my V5C documents to them so that they can send me a cheque of how much my car's worth which they said was £1750. Still awaiting on payment which I'm expecting in a few weeks. However I'm confused on the fact them telling me my car is a write off (total loss) because it's too uneconomical to fix because the car would cost near the value of the car to fix! I went onto the direct gov website to check details of tax and mot just to see info about my car, and it was showing that someone had done an MOT on the car which expired on the 7th of november next year! Did my insurance lie to me? Did they fix the car? Sell it on or are they using it and is it on the road given they had done an mot for it? I thought it was a write off so that they were going to crush it and probably sell some parts from it. Furthermore my total excess for my insurance was £350 which they deducted from the valuation of my car.
Just feeling confused.
Well what has happened is your insurance sell the car to a scrap yard and they then sell parts from it or sell it as a fixer upper
so it seems someone has bought your old car and fixed it up
as the saying goes, one mans rubbish is another mans gold
- How much work to write a rb25det into a 62 ford falcon? Have been messing around with what to do with my falcon, I thought about an ls, normal 302 or sticking stock 200inline 6 with I believe upgraded camshaft and crank and just putting 20 psi in boost on it. Or try to do a rb25det swap, I know it's a lot of work, would it be just just like a normal ls swap? Or would I literally have to rewire everything and get rid of the old wire harness, I didn't know if there was a way to connect the two.

- My Ford Transit headlights turn on in off position and turn off in the on position? I'm a new driver, just passed my test. My van has some issue with the lights: namely, the lights turn off in the on position when the dash lights come on, and turn on when they are supposed to be off. This means that I'm driving at night without dash lights as I need to have the lights switched off in order for my headlights to be on. Might this be an electrical issue? Would anybody be able to give me advice and possibly know how much this costs to repair?
