I think it depends on your insurance company. A friend totaled a car and they based the value of 3 or 4 values. Things like Kelly Blue Book and such.

If fully comprehensive do you get the full value if car gets written off?

Assuming your question is, "If you have full coverage do you get the full value of the car if it is totaled", the answer is yes. It is important that you understand the what the definition of value is in car insurance. When ever your car is totaled you will get actual cash value at the time of loss. The best resource for determining this is the NADA Guide, www.nada.com. Actual cash value is determined by looking at a combination of items including, determining the pre-loss condition of the vehicle, the book value, and what cars of similar condition sell for in your geographic location. If you have a loan on the vehicle this is not part of the equation.
