    Oh dear. Looks like a cheque for about £1.25 will be in the post from
    her insurance company soon.[1] "If your vehicle has been damaged and
    is uneconomical to repair, we will arrange for a settlement cheque for
    its pre-accident value net of salvage to be sent to you without
    delay."

    Do you think they will mind if the net value of the bike is less than
    the collection and delivery fees combined?

    [1] According to Royal & Sunalliance's letter today, which is marked
    as: "S:\ORL SHARED DATA\WP\CLAIMS\ProActive Letter2.doc"

    Am I missing something here or are they charging 94 quid (plus VAT) to fit a
    clutch lever, indicator, hero blob and a bar end? Sheeze I'm in the wrong
    job!

    I thought it was leaking fuel as well?

    You know what, you're right.

    It was leaking fuel when the tank was on prime (I left it on Prime
    from the day before,) I moved it to "ON" and it stopped so a hose must
    be out somewhere. Perhaps this charge is already included in the
    labour…

    I will speak to them tomorrow to clarify and also mention the rattly
    engine.

    And it's pretty normal for the estimation costs to be "waived" if the
    estimator gets the job.

    If I knew that it wouldn't be at the garage.
    You appear to have missed the point. Petrol *wasn't* leaking until it
    got reversed into by a car. I think the two events are linked.
