Well, I had to declare my car off road before it was picked up by the recyclers and I got a cheque in the post today from the DVLA to refund me part of the road tax for my old car.

I also got a cheque from the other guy's insurance company to cover their side. Now just need to wait for the salvage agent's cheque too.

Guess the fact I got the cheque from the insurance company means they accept the blame (though I can't see how they couldn't...)
