Accident - other party's inusrance offers to arrange repairs
Hi all just had a lorry in the back (small bump no injuries). The other party's insurance is offering to arrange the repairs and I was wondering what the views are whether this is a good idea or whether it would be better to involve my insurance? I suppose I'll have to report it to my insurance either way?

worth changing the cam belt on an old banger? or just let it go?
Usually this needs changing at around 75,000 miles. On a £500 car is this worth doing a second time at 150,000 miles? I know the belt will go at some point and that's the end of the car, but how long can these belts really last?
