As this is ongoing, I'll have to keep details sparse, but the short version is alternator belt snapped on my partners cars, she pulled over as soon as was safe and called breakdown cover.
He pulled under tray off, found the belt wrapped around the pulley. Removed a little debris, and told her to start it. No surprise it didn't go. He pulled more belt out and said try again. Clunk, and the heads shot, valves bent-buggered.
Initial claim rejected, I'm stuck with what to do. My garage is old school and ready to retire.
Do I suck it up (£3k damage) or are there people who'll help with the claim? I don't really know if I'm looking for an expert witness or solicitor?
I'm in Nottingham if it makes any difference.
