If so simply run a wire yourself and get the other one working. A few minutes with a some electrician's tape and you'll be back in business. Same thing with the 'repeater', we'd call it a 'blinker' on this side of the pond. I suspect that a working 'repeater' could have been achieved without a full repair of the cosmetic damage. A full replacement of the wiring loom from a professional repair shop just doesn't make sense for a car of this value. You need to find a friend who is 'good with tools' or just monkey around with it yourself, even if you fail you haven't lost anything given that the car is a write off it its current state. I expect you can make an exhaust system repair with some wire as well. Don't let the repair shop convince you such repairs are needed. Here's an example for you. A few years ago I had Ford Ranger pickup. It started leaking oil. A lot of oil. The gasket around the front of the oil pan was sticking out the front of the pan. The factory recommended repair, confirmed by two repair shops and a dealer involved taking the engine out of the truck. A repair costing well over $2000. I took it to a buddy who put it up on the rack loosened a couple of bolts, prodded the gasket back in place with a screwdriver, tightened up and had me back on the road in minutes. Cost--free with an oil change and brake job, which I needed anyway. Anyway, forget the shops for repairs on a car of this value.</p></blockquote><p></p>
