Should I go into more detail of the story that I was booked at local hotel but after seeing pictures of cars smashed and bad reviews I looked for an alternative car park ?

Save your stories for your first person Witness Statement plus Exhibits bundle in several months time 

A defence is a relatively brief statement,  mainly addressing the POC

Meanwhile,  please edit your thread title to something more suitable like

Ok so just send that like it is. Don’t add about what I saw online someone will phone or I have to write another letter to someone else ?

Stick to the basics,  no overthinking it,  at this stage 

Too many people want to get it off their chest and write war and peace 

Your WS in several months time will be written in that manner,  should you wish to 

Think about criminal cases for example,  the Defendant is charged with a serious catalogue of offences and asked for their take, NO COMMENT,  they are asked how they plead, NOT GUILTY 

Not much actual detail there is there   ?

Your paragraphs 3 and 3.1 look ok to me, for this stage 

What about your paragraph 2 with a suitable ending   ,  I can't see it  ?

2. The facts in this defence come from the Defendant's own knowledge and honest belief.  Conversely, the Claimant sets out a cut-and-paste incoherent and sparse statement of case. The POC appear to be in breach of CPR 16.4, 16PD3 and 16PD7, and fail to "state all facts necessary for the purpose of formulating a complete cause of action". The Defendant is unable, on the basis of the POC, to understand with certainty what case, allegation(s) and what heads of cost are being pursued, making it difficult to respond. However, the vehicle is recognised and it is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper.

It is, and the template tells you to add a suitable ending,  so nearly,  but no cigar

It never ends with the word keeper 

Clopdog

Sorry what do you mean 😂 I’m clueless

The template defence is self explanatory,  please study the section after the word Keeper
