Damage to my car on private land

[griffhnter]

For five years I have been doing work on site ever few months, and park on my customer's land. Last time whilst I was parked in the same place my car was damaged. Since no one last at home in the nearest house, I left a note. The lady of the house rang and admitted running into me. I am in discussion with her husband. He says they have bought the land on which I was parked (and I have no reason to doubt it although there is no indication on the ground). He also says there is £1000 damage to their car; my damage is similar if new parts are used. I have offered to use second hand parts if he does not want to involve his insurance and this will halve my claim. He says it should be knock for knock, since I was parked on his land. I do not have the registration number of their car nor details of their insurance. He is taking legal advise; what will be the outcome.

The outcome will be IF he gets legal advice, which I doubt, that they will tell him he is talking bks.

Just ask for his insurance details. If he refuses, inform the police that they've refused to give them to you.

Will the police be willing to get involved to obtain the car reg and the insurance details?

Thanks everyone.
