Six weeks in (sorry it feels like longer) witness statement which describes how wife had tried to reverse into space between cab and another car. Also stating cab was not on yellows. Ok so now lying witness . Wife asked for formal statement etc by insurer this provided. Also we were told that insurer has refused to pay for hire car to replace damaged tax whilst off road. and of course, I'm afraid that I was very, very drunk

This is one dull story. Out of interest though, why does the cab being parked on double or single yellow lines matter?

Received letter (Feb 2017) from claims management company stating my PCP Panda ( I know, but £99 a month no deposit) , but driven by wife, had been involved in an accident but failed to stop. Letter requested insurance details. Checked with wife - no knowledge of accident, checked car no bumps, bruises or scrapes - good as new.
E-mailed claims management company with above info -told them I would not be providing info. requested
Assessor visited, agreed no damage to Panda. Followed up with call to insurers. Claim was for Vito taxi wife had damaged so badly owner wanted to take of road for repairs. Asked for location, and wife remembers taxi - get worried, but describes how she was parked in end parking space on road and when she returned there was a black can parked her on double yellows behind her nearly touching. She pulled out without incident.

Yeah, OP, hurry up. It's 2017. We're entitled. We didn't win two world wars for this, even if it was our dads and grandads who did it and the closest we get to heroics is CoD.
Basically, without knowing the ending to your story, The Usual Posters are finding it hard to say how it was all your fault in the first place.

It was all his wife’s fault. She reversed into the taxi and then drove off and they’re pretending that it being on double yellows means they can get away with it. They would’ve done too, but for those pesky kids witnessing it.

Are you absolutely sure it was a Vito and not a Viano? the Vito is usually a van, it's the Viano which is more commonly used as a taxi.Also was it a Hackney or Private Hire?
This may be crucial to the outcome.
