@patrykk3071 on your positive battery lead there is a pyro fuse, when it blows ( after an airbag has blown) it cuts power to the engine bay and fuel pump basically to prevent a fire happening. You can't reset them you will need to replace it, you can bypass it temporarily to try starting it but not recommended if you don't know what your doing.

absolute disgrace that insurance companies are calling this a write off, that's why insurance premiums are going up crazy. Someone should call a halt to these insane write off's. I know that would not be good news for you Phil but you must admit this was a easy fix, even for you and minimal damage.

The annoying thing about insurance claims,the assesers are to quick on writing vehicles off,in 2020 my Skoda Octavia was written off,not economical for repair,wasn't happy, complained to my insurers,they then sent an independent asseser and he deemed the car repairable, and informed my insurance company of his finding,they then authorised my car to go for repair at a local garage.still using the car today.

Nice wee motor , but I get the insurance thing they are waiting so long on new parts and the time to get the cars into body shops that cost must be getting factored into why they write the cars off . Perhaps even giving out hire cars to the customers for 12-15 weeks was the last I heard so thats not cheap . Your gain anyway nice looking wee auto .

My wife has one of these, a 20-plate Acenta, in the same colour (though without the orange bits) and manual. No nav nor rear parking sensors, but comes with a radar braking system. They're a 3-cylinder as you say, 999cc, 100hp in this case. As usual, the auto uses more fuel and is a bit slower than its manual equivalent. She's very happy with hers.
