Have the WIM settings been officially endorsed? we all know they work but for insurance companies it's probably "factory" settings only i would presume?

As I understand it, the WIM settings are within the factory's range of possible setups. So whilst a garage might well use the (incorrect) factory settings if they're not told otherwise, if they're asked to use WIM settings then I can't see any reason why they'd refuse (other than a lack of understanding).

well going to have to wait and see what the engineer complaints department say,i am well in my rights to get it sorted as all repairs have a 5year cover,my prob is am not letting the retarded ***** that had my car have it again,so need the go ahead to get a independent do the work of my choice.

what a pain in the hoop,took car to what i was expecting to be on the ramp getting looked at then sorted today,but turns out the engineer did not know this,so what happend kevin kinghorn took the car for a drive came back in and said yip the car is not driving rite,so now booked in for thursday,must say kinghorn's where good with the old customer service,even got to watch a bit of morning tv lol.but in a nut shell car is pulling to left and twitching about,kevin thinks it maybe the rear shocks but not sure,how can i tell if am going to be paying for new ones just incase?

also bit of a plus sign any other damage that they find will get sorted,as kevin wanted to see pic's of the car when i had the accident.just as well i took sum as they don't have any from the engineer report as they did not take any,bit of a stupid mistake i think. oh well update over till next week
