the court case has already been seen by a judge and i wasnt even informed... he ruled that i pay but if i dont have to then i will contest it for not being my fault.

yeah thats why im going on wednesday... thats ok... i'll show im paying off both my cars, rent, get mum or dad to write up something to say that i owe them 5k and am paying them back etc etc etc

If you rang the insurance, at the time of the accident they would have made a report in their computers. Ring up that insurance company and ask them if they have a record of the claim you made. If they do get the claim number and give this to the judge. At least you would only need to pay for the excess.

il ask him tomoz nark, hes in bed

but MILK, it cant b the other persons fault cos he is allowed to turn in when traffic is clear and its not there responsibility if some1 is goin the wrong direction (eben if it is only reversing)

its just one of those f****d things

Also check for a *No u-turn* sign in the street, lots of busy small streets have them.

AFAIK: if you are reversing its your fault in almost ALL circumstances, this is probably why they decided to sue you for damages.

I thought an *unbroken line* replaced the old *double-lines* ? In this case look for that too.

If there is a tram track on that street then they definately aren't allowed to u-turn either [yellow lines mark this].

Good Luck!

also you should have been summonsed to the court talk to a lawyer quickly and get an angle its very beat able.

you main thing is they were able to contact you to pay the money why did they not contact you to defend your self.

you need to appeal the decision.

my thought are that a reasonable person when reversing and the area is clear should not have to worry about people traveling perpendicular to the road as you were in a park ing spot and you were allowed to reverse with in the confines of the parking spot.

see a solicitor you have a case and a good one. If your insurance co were sent the summons its there fault not yours that you were not represented.

remeber the one rule of law ignorance is no excuse

exactly megs... nark this isnt your fault. For example... This would be like u backing out of your carpark in a parking complex and someone hits you T bone style within your carpark, if u get what i mean, lol, not your fault. :D

ed this wednesday... its not actually a court case but merely me going to show my finances etc. im going to the spot tonight where it happend to check the lines to see if they are solid or not.

if they are i'll contact a solicitor tomorow morning... or maybe even regardless if they are or not... im not worried about the insurance company anymore cause the excess would be just as much even if i got them to pay it etc.

we'll see how it turns out tomorow.

Yes, but at the end of the day, its your word against their's.

a few years ago i was in a similar boat - no insurance and the other person [at fault] denied it. My solicitor said you could spend like $1,000 dollars to take them to court and you may not get anything, if the judge decides that you can both pay your own way, or worse you lose the case...I can pm you my sloicitor details if you really want to pursue it.

Perhaps chat to legal-aid for some free advice!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
