Just a bit more on the issue of a contribution towards betterment.

It is a standard tool used by insurance companies to reduce costs. For instance if a tyre needs to be replaced as a result of damage then they could require you to contribute for the percentage of the tyre that is already worn. The same with exhausts or panels on cars with pre-existing damage or corrosion.

Again with leathers etc. They do not operate a new for old. so you may only get 60% of the cost of a year old leathers etc.
