It's fortunate that you have an independent witness(s).

How do you know that the other driver was insured?

Always worth being alert to the role of the Motor Insurance Bureau, although your insurance company should deal with all issues for you now that you have reported it, which was a good decision:

Any ideas where it will be sent for repair ?

The insurance company will likely direct you to one of their approved repairers. You don't have to accept their approved repairers and can request your own preference, although in that scenario you might lose certain benefits on your policy such as the supply of a loan car. Check your policy. LR main dealer bodyshops generally warranty body repairs for 12 months but some bodyshops will warranty their repairs for longer. I always ask beforehand.

Yeah heard of them knowing my look get corsa

You did the rite thing by contacting insurance. Had some experience with this - and unless the damaged caused is very minor, such as a bumper scuff, NEVER accept the other parties offer of having their mechanic mate look after it. It fact even if it is something very minor your better settling for a small cash sum and getting it fixed at ur own garage or repairing yourself.
Too often I have seen these situations descend into hell, when the mate mechanic makes a balls of repairs, which have takin 6 timed longer to accomplish than normal. Then there is a dispute over the cost of the hire car u need.....the other party of course wanting to put u into the cheapest death trap money can buy.

That's it past experiance it took over 3 weeks to be repaired im paying for a FF so im wanting like for like to use while mine is fixed not no little hack to use to put my family in.The more I think about it and the more I have looked at the damage today its the only way to go.And when I part ex next month I want it repaired to the best standard not botched .

Part ex....

what you getting to replace it ?

Td6 or tdv8 im doin more miles now due to relocation for work so diesel making more sense
