Hi all

It's been about 2 weeks and Allianz still hasnt got back to me soooo i was wondering if someone has been in the same situation (hopefully with allianz) and they can advise me on whats the case. basically I rolled my jeep (not fun) and it has been declared a write off (by the smash repair, not officially by the insurance company because their lazy and haven't gone around to check it yet).

Anyways, i've got a fair few parts on this car that would go to waste, example new soft top roof, old man emu suspension and some big tyres which were all installed just weeks before my accident. i was wondering if:

a) i was able to rock up and just take these parts from the smash repair place

b) offer to buy the jeep wrangler back from insurance (if so is this expensive)

if anyone has been in a similar situation and can shed some light that'll be great.

many thanks.

PS. roll bars FTW!!!

thats ghey, ill offer them treifitteh

on another note, i paid my insurance 2 months ago exactly in full totaling $1100. My excess is now $1000 sooo does that mean give or take 2 months from the 12 month contract, most of the un-used insurance will fund the excess? im assuming so, it'll be like cancelling your insurance after 2 months of coverage.

geeeeeeeeeez nic, you havent even had it that long man !!!! :)

i dont think you can get the remainder of the premium back if you claim. its only if you cancel and opt out of your policy.

as for the parts. if you can replace them with standard parts, and theyre not listed on your policy, you can take them..... i think.

i remember hearing an ad for allianz just yesterday. "one call, no paperwork, and they paid me right away" lol. yeah right.

i know, 2 months exactly from buying it to towing it :-( was a great car too

im gonna blow up at allianz if i dont get my premium back, thats bs so if i wreck my car after 2 months i get nothing but if i wreck my car after 11 months i still get nothing back. hmmmmm sounds fishy to me, makes me wonder how pay-by-the-month works out then, does someone have to pay the remaining 10 months of insurance i dont think so.

im gonna give em a call and get them to explain about this.

really? so even if u crash and write off ur car after 2 months u gotta pay for the whole year? i know this is the case during the cooling-off period. so even if you dont buy another car for 10 months or if u go with another insurance company u still gotta pay for the 10 months? doesn't sound right to me. cooooome on lunch time so i can call!!!

yes, if you're car is written off you are liable for the whole price of your policy. They discharge their obligation by paying you out. your obligation is to pay the whole 12 month policy. if you were on pay by the month and had only paid 2 months they would just deduct the 10 months owing from your settlement.

You have paid for a 12 month contract.

They have accepted you as a risk.

They now pay out your claim of whatever agreed value you have, and you don't want to pay the rest of insurance thats stated on the contract?

with a write off - the assessor of the insurance company decides for total loss. Just call your insurer and find out any updates.

Most general insurers will not offer salvage if a total loss - it'll go to auction dude but again, confirm with allianze

14 day cooling off period is if you pay any money from starting a policy, and decide to cancel for whatever reason - you get a full refund. If a claim - yep, your right, no refund.

After that, full 12 month contract dude.

If you cancel you get a refund

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
