    Dear OP
    Sorry to hear about your mirror.
    Stick it with glue ie one they can see. If it's has auto close like our cars, on most cars you can disengage the auto close. If the mot man/woman does not nore it is a temp fix, they will pass it as long as the mirror and any built in lights are not damaged.

    Read the thread! The original poster asked the question back in May!

    Just send everything to the solicitor. Your son will already have lost his NCD by accepting 50/50 so he has nothing more to lose. He may have to give his side of the story in court if it gets that far but nothing to worry about really.
    Insurance company! The rest of the advice is sound.

    Yes, sorry, insurance company. I had solicitors on the brain!!

    That sounds painful.
    Is it curable?
  • if you dont know what you're doing get it to a garage and get them to fix it. I have no idea what it will cost as I dont know what car it is,

    It's certainly painful on the wallet.
