Attempted Break In

[angel21]

Hey all, got out of work today and what do i find my door handle jammed up(the whole thing) and my lock destroyed. Thank god the little bastards didn't even get into the car but it is going to be a pain in the arse to replace/fix. If i came accross them i swear i would rip off there nuts and make them watch me grind them into mince meat.

Now i have that off my chest is there any place in adelaide that would be a start to look for new one? price?

Sorry to hear about it! You'd be surprised what a crash repairer could do with that .... I had my S15 fixed (had 50% the damage of yours) including respray door for $350. I would ask at Nissan dealers for the actual door handle and lock - should be easy to get (mine was fixable). Expect about $200 for handle and lock I would think.

Yeh sorry to hear also, but i'm with Andrew, hit up a crashie for a price on fixing the handle or painting a replacement, but as for the lock, thats always a hard one, you might need new locks for the doors and in saying that your ingnition key may differ then!

Thanx guys, i will go see one of my dad's friends tomorrow before work see what he thinks at least you have given me a little hope that it might not be too bad. i'm also going to see if there is video on the carpark. i did find it funny that they hurt themselves in the process and left disgusting blood on my car.

[angel21]

Thats just crap! Can't belevie people these day!

As Andrew said Nissan and crashies will be your friend Hope it gets all fixed up soon

^^^ I'm hearing ya, they touch ma car and i'll touch them! Also another reason to have a daily....... while my line is locked up under a car cover! working arvo shift in Plympton isn't the best place to be driving my car, espesially when i went out for 5 mins a few months back and noticed when i came back there was a car on fire down the end of the road!

makes me so mad. has happened to me several times.

I dunno what's worse, the fact they destroy your lock and handle or the fact they are so useless they couldn't get in. die and rot in a gutter imo

This same "style" of attempted break in happpened to my friends car, a couple of days ago.

Your pic of that damage looks exactly the same as his damage

His cars was a 32....

it's gonna cost about $900 cos it needs to be panal beaten out and resprayed. I can at least get into it now the dude even got my central locking working.
