you say the car was badly damaged, then a contamination survey and test is in order, and needed due to food saftey, add £xxx's for that.

any oil or petrol leak found will need remediation, and it aint cheap.

get a break down, but I could easy get to £1,000.

It is indeed one bag of postcrete per post.

Anyway... OP, You should have been more forthcoming in arranging a settlement at the time. Did you think he'd just forget about it? All the farmers I know have very long memories!!!

Just wondering, did he have winter tyres fitted to the car?

That only applies to useless things like dandelions, thistles, stinging nettles, knotweed etc.

Anything useful like wheat, corn, potatoes, spaghetti etc have to be replanted every year

The Rules of thumb re if land is contaminated by oil based contaminations, a 30 meter radius minimum by 1m depth has to be soil outcropped from the source of contamination .
This means the soil has to be removed and replaced, they can not plant food based items in soil contaminated with any mineral oil source.
So potentially 900m2 of land has to be outcropped and re-soiled.
Whether they did this is another matter, but at £1k thats mates rates.

This is for aircraft accidents, can not see it been any different for a car.

And how much postcrete does he need?

2828 cubic metres of soil to be dug out and transported away to quarantine area, 2828 cubic metres to go back, £2k sounds like a bargain!
