insurance will pay the bills, doubt they will just give you the money.

When I claimed the bodyshop spoke directly to the insurance company. I just paid the excess to the bodyshop directly -- you don't just get a cheque mate, unless it's a total loss...

Take a written quote from the dealership and show it to the other party, offer to fix it outside insurance for half. They get to keep their NCD, your mum gets a repaired car and you get ££ for about 1 hours work.

Um, that's cos the gov't have FIXED the price of an MOT at £40.75
Everyone pays the same -- they must have had to do quite a bit of a work on the car to get it up to £400...

If i could get my car into work i would only pay about £17.50 or something like that. Not more then £20 n e way. Dont pay for the labour.
£400 sounds i wee bit excessive for just an mot and a few parts.
