It's time I got myself a 180 all the same but I will go with the buy back option and do the repairs leisurely in the background.

Yes, I was thinking that even if the repair turned out too costly. It has 180 body kit. Official response going to insurance tomorrow. Claim + buy back.

Yet more delays with insurance so not much progress on that yet.
I'm going to go collect it next Tuesday and drive it home (~500km) as I wait for parts. The garage are a bit upset that it's been sitting in their yard for 2 months! When I left it in, the bonnet was jammed as it had shifted right.
How would you go about getting the bonnet open/off?

Disaster!! Just went to pick the car up. Brute force got the bonnet open, but that has dented the right side wing. Checked the levels, topped up coolant and began the drive home. 10 mins later she was overheating a little. First time thats happened since I bought the car new. Stopped to take a look and found the coolant bottle was filled to the the brim and under pressure. Moments later, it was empty. We have mayo in the oil cap, water drops on the dipstick and I believe steam coming out exhaust.
Lads, trying my best here but with the crash damage to repair and now a blown headgasket (that sounds like there will be a big mess under the head), I don't see how I can keep this car on the road! I'm gutted!

In responce to the thread title, SCRAP! cut your loses. ?3600 [or even better ?4200 without buy back) would get you a nicely spec'd MK2 180 over here. Realise there would be problems in viewing one as your in another country. Just look for anything decent near dover then come over for the weekend. You might even have enough change left over for a pasty and chips.
