How much do you trust the dip stick seal when it's under water and how much would you trust the fuel tank breather when the whole fuel tank is under water. Plus if they decide to fix it they have to give me a curtosey car. Anyway I don't know why we are discussing it as the insurance have already decided that they are writing it off.
Replacement carpets and seats, a new starter motor and alternator and heater fan... Couple cans of contact cleaner and grease. Weekends work.
That cant cost £3k. Even if you paid a garage to do it!
