It's because I moved it from another duplicate post on this topic.My reply is now the first post? Weird?
I would do the same as youNot your fault. Insurers are involved. Let them replace the whole panel and return it to you as if not better than new. Any mucking about as you suggest will in future detract from the value of your Swift. Sorry, a no brainier for me!
Be careful. I trust no one. If you instruct the repairers to proceed you are legally liable for the whole bill. I see no reason why the TP Insurers can’t approve and authorise the repairs direct with the repairer. Upon completion you sign the satisfaction note and the TP pay direct. This assumes the repairer agrees of course. Quite a common action.The third party driver's insurance company called me yesterday and said their client has claimed liability so once they have the quote they can approve and send me the payment. Nice to see this all being hassle free.

Wasn’t there a thread not too long ago where an insurer didn’t want to engage the repairer and the owner commissioned the repair but then felt the work was poor but didn’t get any support from the insurer. Must try and find it.Ray typed same time as me. Absolutely agree Prof.
why would anyone want to potentially leave themselves exposed😉

I think he’s talking about the TP Insurers not his own? I still don’t understand why he doesn’t ask his own caravan Insurers to deal with the claim and let them recover from the TP. A lot less hassle and imo financially safer.Makes you wonder why they are selling caravan insurance? You are paying them to do the legwork etc., but it seems they have no interest and it does ring alarm bells.
