Hi, Just a quick one, my 106 1.5 diesel got wrote off last week, none fault accident. I know the insurance will probably offer me hardly anything, but what would you guys accept? Pre-accident, was in v.good condition, around 130k on the clock. But overall a very reliable little diesel giving me 60mpg....

Go on autotrader and look at what similar vehicles cost. The insurance will probably offer you about half of this to start with. Show them some examples of these autotrader cars and they will probably up their offer.
As for that 106, if you just need a runabout and don't mind it looking rough, a full rear axle from a breakers would only be about £30, and they are pretty simple to swap (4 bolts and the brake pipes)

Think you would be looking if its a good offer of a round £400 but don't be shocked if they offer you £250

Some days you just need to take a grinder to an inanimate object, just to make your day a tiny bit better!!
