You only need to obtain 2 quotes for repair.

If the "at fault" driver reneges paying, we already have a thread here in this NSW Subforum of traffic lawyers. Look up one of those & it won't cost much (on his letterhead) to send a "letter of demand"

A former SAU.NSW President works in that capacity & is on that list! > Abo Bob

What he should do is learn a lesson and make sure he gets insurance

Brett is giving your mate good advice; because without insurance and if he (whilst "at fault") writes off a new M5, he's up for $200,000 (even if he owns a Sh!tbox)!!!!!

Got cancelled, or lapsed?

I know in the case of an insurance company that I was well acquainted with, if a clients policy lapsed without payment up to a week 7 days, if the client paid for the next years policy, they were able to make a claim.

worth looking into- quick

Nope- wrong town.

Greenslip cover PERSONAL injury caused. IE: hit a pedestrian, school kid, or personal injury to the other person/persons in the car accident. It doesn't cover property of people involved.

You can get 3rd party property- which covers just things/objects you plough into. And you can get comprehensive that covers both your car, and things you plough into.

If you friend is in the right, and someone crashed into him, and the police have noted as such- then he will have to write a letter of demand, as Terry said, with a copy of the two quotes for the amount of money to fix the car. Give him a set time length to pay, and if he doesn't pay up gearbox his doorstep get a lawyer to start proceedings.

i have full comprehensive and always have, but i swear 3rd party property was the Green slip..... Pretty sure my neighbour Crash Bandicoot has had someone write his 4 runner off and its been covered under that?

Pull out your greenslip- says on the top- "compulsory third party personal injury insurance"

You don't need insurance if people run into you- however having comprehensive is a benefit because they will do all the work on your behalf. Otherwise, as OPs friend is going to find out, you have to do all the work to get the money yourself.

This happened to one of my friends a few years ago, except he was the one at fault.

He was sent qoutes from the other guy, but my friend couldn't afford to pay, so he was sent letters of demand, and finally it ended in court.

My friend lost the case and had to pay, but because he showed he couldn't afford it, and in doing so would cause finacial hardship to him, the magistrate ordererd that he be able to pay it off at a set rate to the other party.

Yep. CTP is for hospital bills and the like. Third party that you get from NRMA, Shannons, AAMI etc covers any other car in case of an accident (where you're at fault), but not yours. Comprehensive fixes your car too.

Driving without even 3rd party is one of the silliest things I've ever heard. It's REALLY not that expensive - and it's far more expensive if something happens and you get dragged through the courts.

As was said above, imagine you run up the arse of a brand new BMW - all of a sudden, you're getting quotes for $80,000, but if you'd paid $300-odd for 3rd party, sure, your company will NOT like you, but it's not 80k.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
