Seeing as I was totally innocent in this, I presume I can insist to be put back in a no-worse condition than I was in immediately before the accident?

Anyone any experience in beefing up a claim (legally, my neck is fine!!!) ? For example:

I also had bluetooth, which is not in most of the second hand cars I see advertised.
My car was mine from new, so would have had 1 owner at resale time, obviously if I get a second hand one that'll now be at least 2 owners at resale time.
Tax disc had 6 months to go
3 days missed at work (self employed) - one on day of crash, one to source a car and one to collect the car
We have regionalised plates in Ireland, a 2nd hand car will more than likely not have my local region on the number plates (not sure how that can be quantified)
Time, hassle and annoyance
Glad you are OK and felt your pain
