    fully comp so it'll be a buy back if the price is right,alloys might be knackered a bit.interior seemed okay,rear bumper might be okay.
    engine was still running after the crash....God Bless VAG.bose and cd changer okay. gearbox has to be dodgy.

    Local farmer probably put the mud on the road, the same farmer that owns the hedge he destroyed and the field the car's in. Once its in the hands of an insurance company, farmers have been known to charge 500 per square metre, to the insurance company, for damage to agricultural land and hedges, walls, fencing, etc. Stone walls are the worst - quite a skilled job to rebuild those. Of course, its pretty difficult to conclude a claim without recovery of the car, and its quite hard to pick the car up without the recovery truck driving on the farmer's land.

    So I'd suggest best not to pursue the guy who put the mud on the road.....could end up quite costly.....

    mud is from a quarry (not the farmers) a mile down the road and there is still a big gap in the hedge,pass there everyday and still think how?!
