well i got his rego number ! im just worried that i dont have insurance maybe i cant get that claim!

Following on from Patrick's advice...

If the driver hit your car and drove off without leaving you details, you should take that rego number to the police, describe what happened and especially emphasise that he drove off from the scene of an accident.

You will then get an Event Number. If police can'r or won't chase him down, then get a traffic lawyer and give him/her the Event Number. There's a thread in SAU.NSW with a list of traffic lawyers.

How bad is the damage?

Going by your other thread.. Even if you had your insurance (third party) you wouldnt be able to make a claim if someone else hit you..

EDIT: to clarify.. I mean on your insurance.. Not theirs

No. not at all.. But you said in your other thread that you are getting third party insurance yes? Well third party covers a vehicle you hit.. It doesnt usually cover your car if you are hit by someone else.. YOUR insurance company will not fix, pay for, then chase the person who hit you on third party..

So what i'm getting at is if someone else hit you then it's up to them to fix it.. If you want assurance i recommend comprehensive insurance. Then your insurance company will help you out in these circumstances.. If you don't wish to pay the price of comprehensive then tough titties when this does happen, hope they have insurance and is going to play ball..

hehe ill bite.

YOUR third party, meaning the insurance you have = fix other cars if you are at fault. NOT YOURS (compulsory every1 must have or its illegal to drive said car)

Comprehensive will fix both cars = higher premium but peace of mind.

If a car hits you their insurance pays you to get your car fixed. If the person who hits you is gay and doesnt want to pay follow what some people up top said about reporting it to police etc etc

Kellogg's are running a promotion at the moment - every 1000th box of Coco Pops has a full comprehensive insurance policy in it for whatever vehicle you nominate..

I suggest you go out and keep buying boxes of Coco pops until you find that elusive insurance policy. Now here is the important bit - you must take out the policy on the OTHER car, but name yourself as the beneficiary. This way you can claim any damage to your car that this taxi has caused. If anyone else ever hits your car, then you have to go through the same procedure, and nominate the other car on the policy.

Rinse and repeat

HTH

They know. I don't know how they know, but they know.

Sorry

is it just-like-a-chocolate-milkshake-only-crunchy coming back up too?

Yes, only slightly warmer, and maybe not so crunchy - except for the diced carrot which it now contains. That's always crunchy.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
