I've just had a phone call from the assessors of the car. The engine block itself is severely damaged to the sump and block, radiator,crash bar,front subframe,ac unit etc. The auto box itself has a crack in the casing also. The wiring is a mess so the assessors cant gain access to the interior of the vehicle. Hes put the damage costs in excess of 16k which means the car is a write off total loss apparently.

Looks like we're well ahead of those Aussies:

"Meet Graham. He might look a little different, but I assure you that he’s human. Well, sort of. The reason he looks this way is that he has plenty of body modifications that makes him able to survive a serious car crash.

Graham, the crash test man, was created as part of a new Australian road safety campaign by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). He was designed by sculptor Patricia Piccinini, a leading trauma surgeon, and a road safety engineer, who modified him based on their knowledge of car accidents. The result isn’t a pretty sight, but it’s certainly a sobering one. As you can see, Graham doesn’t have a neck because these snap easily in car accidents. He also has a flat, fleshy face to protect his ears and nose. Also, if you’re wondering about all those extra nipples, they’re to protect his ribs like a natural set of airbags. All these modifications are needed for a human body to survive a car crash."
