it was just the clutch master cylinder and got it fixed ages ago. just spent about 500 quid on it the other week though because the radiator leaked and it overheated and everything was ******.

Yeah, I still need to find out where the recovery took it to, and tell the insurance. I'm almost certain it'll be a write off so I can't not get them involved!

if the value of the car is less than the excess or only about £100 more, there's no point telling them because you'll only get £100 or so, but your insurance will go up £200.

Firstly, I would say it's worth about 1500. I paid about 1700 (before I knew anything about Minis and it was my first car and I was on my own AND the seller was asking almost 2000! ).

My excess is £150 I think... pretty small compared to the value anyway.

And my insurance was already just over a grand per year.

Soooooo it depends how they value the car. Its value comes from the fact it's a classic car, so if they value it based on what it is under the shell, then I don't have much hope .
