about a month ago a guy ran into me, admitadly i was parked on the wrong side of the road,

what happened was i got my car out of a m8's drive way, because he wanted to get out and i was there to fix his parents computer so i just reversed on to the wrong side of the road, at about 7:30 i just finished up and was having a smoke with my m8s old man when i heard a loud bang, i thort fu(k thats my car!!!

i ran out onto the road and there was this fu(ken EA falcon launched into my car with no damage to his car what so ever...

the funny thing is that this guy got pulled over by the police and he got outta his car and left it in P or D and it rolled str8 into mine!

it did about $800 worth of damage and now the dodgy cu//t doesn't wanna pay! does anyone have any advice on what i should do,

the car is registered to this dude's bosses employer i rang him yesterday and he doesnt have insurance on it! should the boss be made to pay because it's his car?!?

the cop told me i wasnt in the wrong coz i was parked on the wrong side of the road so yeah should i take him to court or just send him the bill!?!? :matrix:

if its a work car they are required to have insurance and cover for their employees arent they?

anyway... if ur not covered i would be talking to a lawyer to see if u have the right to pursue them for the money and take it from there.

does it matter that i have only 3rd party? coz it wasnt worth it for me to get full comp coz they were only giving me $5000 back after i pay $3000 for insurance and excess, over $25k has been spent so it wasnt worth it...

i asked him yesterday if he had insurance but he rekons he doesnt!

Another option is to see your panelbeater explain the circumstances to them that the other driver was at fault and wont pay, some panel beaters have a debt recovery service with thier own lawyers and stuff so you dont have to spend any more time getting agro or forking out for your own lawyer. They do all the hard work for you and one way or another they will get thier money out of the guy

some, but there aint heaps as its a mission... and usually the panel beater is "struggling" for obvious reasons to take that kinda work.

A nice letter saying legal action will take place will do the trick, and if the cop saw it. Then your definately safe

Go to Amex Panels they also have a Debt recovery Service which is very very good.

Also, Amex Panels are extremely good panel beaters, being a recommended BMW repair place.

Now, they are expensive, but you wont be paying, so it doesn't matter.

People who have no insurance are driving around looking for trouble.

If you don't want to do something like that, your insurance company (most do) have a thing called a "Not at fault claim" where as long as you have the other parties details, they will fix your car and chase the other party for money.

I've used "Not at Fault" no less than 5 times. Each time somebody hits me, I contact the insurance company straight away, even if it's obvious that its the other parties fault so that I don't get the run around and the professionals handle the claim.

BASS OUT

I had my car ran into when a guy tried to just push me off the road on a highway. Anyway he didn't want to pay so I had to go through sending him letters of demand by a sheriff and then eventually it went to small claims court where the judged laughed at the guy and told him to pay me.

He ended up just going through his insurance company anyway so was just being a moron. Suffice to say that it was a pain in the ass. If these debt recovery agenices can do it less fuss to you then go for it.

I had third party at that time and can really see the benefit of comprehensive cause they chase the other party for the money.

solicitors & barristers fees + court fees is going to be a lot more than $800.

its worth writing letters to them saying pay within 7 days otherwise further action will be taken, but seriously consider the costs of taking it to court compared to the $800 worth of damage.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
