Full comp ain't a guarantee of happy times in this scenario. Many excesses are about the same cost as the repairs and the repairs aren't quite enough to write off the car :/

Watch out with some insurance companies. My wife's car got damaged in the last big storm and had rating 1 full comp. They repaired the car and then dropped her to rating 3 and increased her yearly premium by more than 60%. We changed companies and got rating 1 and ended up saving almost $200 a year compared to previous rating 1 policy anyway. Win for us.

^ wtf? how does that work? an 'act of god or nature' or whatever, and she loses ratings and premium goes up?? how has she suddenly become a riskier driver as isn't that what the rating/premium change is ultimately suggesting (probabilities etc?)

if people are looking for a dent person, Mr Dent (Vince) does fantastic work. Originally recommended to me by Damian @ Final Inspection. If you google it, you'll find his number (no website)

I live in Roxy, literally 5 mins from Cragieburn station. No hail :laugh:

If ther was hektic hail my old man wouldve skitzed it :O i garaged my skyline instead of his merc for induction pipe making. i shit my pants when i heard hail was coming.

lucky tho :D

dodgy assholes... insurance companies are just greedy f**ks who want to drain people's money. talk about trying to recover their losses. excellent work changing companies :D should have faxed them a note with their letter of increase telling them to shove it up their ass.

45 minutes on hold and answered

covered by full comp

no need to shop around for quotes, they have setup an assessment place which will call me before the end of the week

ill take the car there, they will check it and decide wether to proceed with quotes/pricing or write it off (usually its the other way around)

he said the roof is the main concern if it has lots of deep dints, they have to take the roof off, which becomes an economical write off

so early stages

but very positive outcome from just car insurance

very helpful, quick to help

no blah blah your not covered rubbish

excess is 1k

as for williamstown, there was hail but like pea sized hail. Had some family there during the storms and they were caught out but i had a good look over the cars and didn't see anything, so williamstown would be ok i would think. no big hail

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
