    You will have to pay the £350 excess however you deal with this.

    True, I should have explained better. If they pay me out for the car as a write off, lets say 1000 that leaves me with £650 to buy the car back from insurers and get the work done. Easily done.

    If they want to do the repair themselves they spend far more to fix the car than I would and I have to be paying the £350 excess.

    They write it off I break even.
    Then repair it and I am down £350.
