A mate of mine had his car written off, not his fault. The car was worth £500 book value but it had a gas conversion on it. The conversion was a few years old and he didn't have reciepts for it but he argued that it would cost him £2k to fit a conversion to what ever car he got next and he had a right to do this as the car that got trashed was gas converted. He ended up walking away with £2k for a £500 car. It might be too late in this case but always hang in there with insurance companies - it's a game of poker and you have to make them flinch!
