Had a nice engineer from Wheelers come out to check it. Sun was shining, nice polished car looked great. Many comments about nice to see a car looking so good for its age, Mercedes don't build them like they used to, shame that more modern cars would be much more expensive to repair (and much more likely to be written off) - he said on a newer Merc the light unit would be smashed completely, mine completely unscathed. Checked it all round - checked tyre tread depth (thanks Mr Froome, those new Contis you sold it to me with have hardly worn, what with me using winter tyres since November - March), and said if the garage quote was within his figures, the insurer would get in touch with the garage directly.
So I am optimistic.
