    Well I have informed the insurance about both incidents, the repair for the bump yesterday will be well over £1000 as a new bumper is needed. Can I insist on the work being carried out at the main dealer?

    My premium has increased £280 and that is after spending an hour searching for the cheapest quote not just asking my current insurer. Seems harsh as none of it was my fault but that's life I suppose... guess I'll have to work overtime! Just hope it doesn't make such a difference for 5 years.

    Thanks for everyones input anyway

    Yes, because you are the injured party you can take it to the main dealer.
    Youre young so stand your ground. You are within your rights to do this.

    Good luck
