Insurance payouts...
How long do they usually take? Had a smack in my focus at the beginning of the month, just spoke to the insurance now and they've told me its a total loss cat d.
They've valued it at 7k too, but I have an agreed value of 12k where do I stand on that? any ideas?
Soon as I get my cheque I can go boldly into the paranoid world of Cosworth ownership!!

You need to address the situation of the value with the insurance company or your broker, the engineer who valued your car won't be aware of the agreed valuation you have in place.
A payout all depends on the circumstances mate, the Third Party Insurers dragging their heels usually hinders claims a great deal.
How long is a peice of string i'm afraid mate, I settled my own claim in 3 weeks from having the accident to having a cheque in my hand, but then I have known them to take 2 years plus!

When an old bloke smashed into the back of my fiesta turbo and wrote it off it took about 8 - 10 weeks in all, had a stupid insurance assessor that was convinced it was a twin turbo !!!

All down to the personal situation some can take as little as 2 weeks some alot more. Mine took 2 and a half years but then the guy that hit me had no insurance so i had to go through the M.I.B

What type of Focus is it, for it to be on an agreed value?
I was insured with Liverpool vic and they where fantasic
when i had a claim.
you could alway tell them if they drag
there feet you will go to the FO! (financial-ombudsman)
They will shit there pants
P.S I'm one of them so called shit insurance assessors
(but i do happen to know a lot about Fords)
