Yeah not sure where you're all getting the idea that his insurance will fix it and chase it all up etc...That's exactly what third party does not give you..

Third party, you hit someone and are at fault, your insurance fixes their car, you fix your own car. Someone hits you and they're at fault, their insurance handles it all, your insurance has nothing to do with it..

Full comp, call the kunce and tell them to fix everything, now.

Tell this mother f**ker that the damage to his skull was pre existing and not a result of you caving it in with a f**king brick

Uninsured motorist cover

Up to $3000 cover for damage to your car by an uninsured driver

No excess is required for this, but you do need to supply them with the other driver's details so that JCI can recoup their costs.

Similarly, with comprehensive insurance you need to supply the at fault driver's details, else pay your excess and effectively have a claim processed as "at fault", i.e. you might as well have hit a tree with no one else involved.

It's possible this guy has no insurance and is just trying to bargain/scare his way out of a big bill, or his excess is quite high, thus trying to get his mate (lol) to con you into settling for less than his excess. Good luck with it viper - though the chips really are in your hand - welcome to the world of people pawning their problems and responsibility off onto others :/

As per above comment I don't think you have a choice to refuse his insurances assessor / repairer looking at your car and potentially doing the job as it's a claim through his policy not yours. Whoever fixes it should do nothin less than a satisfactory job.

I was hit by a woman who was at fault, got the claim number off her and then told her insurance company I wouldn't go near their preferred repairer douchebags with my 10 foot pole (thanks to VWLBC advice)

Went promptly to Micolour, Mick is sorting it all out for me

have full comp with shannons = car gets hit... take it to uncle mick and walk away knowing it will look better than it did before the hit

speaking to 32GTR owner at sandown on the weekend... neighbours acorns fell on his roof and bonnet leaving marks reminiscent of hail damage. called Shannon's, they pointed him to a respectable panel beater... nek minnit - panel repairs + full respray for cost of excess.

mad jelly.

should have brought to me. did all 16 on micra in about an hour.

gentle love taps with hammer, some washers and an old wheel nut.

much easier than taking hub off to press

Anyone going to the monthly meet in couple of weeks? Can't decide if I should come.

I should be in for that one.

I've got a ball tomorrow night, so cannot sadly. At that point in the night I'm guessing I'll be in a place where, really, I should not have car keys anywhere close to me :P

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
