Hi
I hope someone can help me with the following please:
Last Friday I was unfortunately involved in a car accident with a taxi. Some time after the event I realised that my heater had stopped blowing out hot air (even when the engine has been running quite some time.) The air doesn't seem completely cold.. just cool.. too cool though for the current conditions.
Anyway after the accident it was clear there was damage to the driver-side wing and bumper. Also the bonnet has been pushed down (on the driver side) which had forced the grill outwards.
I went for an estimate today with the insurer's garage and I asked him if it was possible, given the damage visible, if this could've caused the car heating to stop working. In his opnion it wasn't possible but did say it was a 'common fault' and it could only be a 'coincidence'.
I would welcome a second opinion.
Many thanks
Amanda
