My car a 1996 Mercedes C230 was recently involved in a front end
smash.
When I got the car back from the garage, I noticed that my SRS light
was on, I sent the car back for the sensor to be reset but was told
that it wasn't the sensor it was that the clock spring has gone.
My insurance company has refused to pay for the clock spring to be
sorted saying it is a part that can wear out so have said it has
nothing to do with the accident.

Does anyone have any documentation/proof that the clock spring
breaking could be as a direct result of the accident, something that I
can show to my insurance company.

Many thanks for any help or assistance offered.
