Shell was lucky to get back inside haha, hope she is ok :)

How were your houses guys? No tile damage or anything else?

Goodluck to everyone on their insurance claims and that it goes smoothly.

I said that to her when she called me; we saw a woman knocked unconscious be a huge hailstone a few years ago at the East Coast Nationals at WSID which was the last time it was damaged.

House looks fine; but I'll have to wait for a dry day to get up on the roof.

Ok damage report new windscreen massive crack on it 2-3 massive dents on roof and quite a few smaller one same goes for bonnet and boot. Now claim insurance or get my dent repairer mate for a cashie

That sucks; our repairer told me that the dents on out car are too deep for PDR this time. :/

PDR is pretty advanced these days.

My jeep grand was hit all sides a couple of years ago. They repaired it completely with PDR for less than $5k within 5 business days.

The repair was fantastic and you couldn't tell it was ever damaged.

There are some very skilled operators in this area; we've had great success with PDR in the past. :thumbsup:

Commiserations to Adrian and Dale too. Apparently the hail had a spread from Blackheath down to Springwood but I believe it rained monster hail down near us. NRMA which insure my Mum's Mazda2 and Maria's Volvo XC60 T6 are banked up arranging calls to the insured; arranging for them to bring their cars to a demountable assessment site that's local next week.

The Mazda suffered large hail dents due to the thin skin. There also quite a few.

Quantity and severity on the Volvo amount to less in depth and less in number. The skin is evidently thicker - noticeably so.

yeah ive seen the guy we use at work get dent out that i couldnt imagine anyone being able to fix without bogging it up an re spraying so im staying hopeful until he gets the chance to go over it

I spoke to my dent remover an showed him the pics. He basically said be prepared to strip out any parts of the car you want. So im not a haopy camper so far today

Awwww, that sucks.

Waiting to hear the verdict with ours...

Just got my first quote. Its 7600 plus adjustments an the cars insured for 11k. Got one more to go i just hope the assessor is in a good mood an decides they will fix it instead of writing it off

With those numbers I think they will fix it.

In the old days 60% of value, written off. Now days 75%-80% and they still fix it.

What do you reckon they will say dale? I still have to get one more quote an see what happens. Has anyone ever fought a insurance company in regards to writing a car off due to hail? Because by the look ofthe first quote im going to be right on the boarder line of being written off.

Could always buy it back? Not sure on how that process works though

Will need to be repaired and blue slipped to get off written off register I believe??

I had a car written off and paid out 3500 but only cost 400 to buy it back... Might be worth it depending on repair costs.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
