Devils advocate like, but "disturbing" the tracking from a static impact usually involves bending or breaking something. £900 wouldn't be unreasonable for a new steering rack.
True. I think my last steering rack was £1kMr. Dazzle wrote: Wed Aug 10, 2022 7:56 pmDevils advocate like, but "disturbing" the tracking from a static impact usually involves bending or breaking something. £900 wouldn't be unreasonable for a new steering rack.
'course, it could've been fucked before.
I'd throw it to the insurance company. In fact I'd tell them right now, now that you've "gone public" with matey there's every chance he might be ringing his insurance company and they'll start tracking you down. He knows your name and address so it won't take long on the insurance database. I'd ring mine now if it were me.
My old Volvo was written off in a multi car pile up on the M1. Both front and rear bumpers were OK looking....however when you pulled the boot carpet up, you could see the structure of the car was all "wrinkled up". Gotta be careful with bumpers and seemingly minor damage!Greenman wrote: Wed Aug 10, 2022 8:14 pm 1 had a massive dent in the bumper but then, about 10 secs later, it popped out.

I had two non fault accidents settled and paid for by the other cars insurance, my insurance went up and they tried to explain I’m more likely to have an accident than someone who’s never had an accident so he’s prob right lolDocca wrote: Wed Aug 10, 2022 9:08 pm E25F0F6E-134A-414A-930C-2B2FBDD61749.jpeg
He’s a lovely chap.
I’ve contacted my insurance and registered it before I passed on my details, which he now has.
He’s worried that his insurance will go up ( it shouldn’t as it’s my fault?)
He’s worried he’ll have to pay an excess?
Anyway- I’ve given him what he needs to proceed
My wife got flashed out a side street not thinking traffic is coming the other way and took what Mr flasher was saying as gospel. Her wee car was bust indicator and scratch. Other lass car was bust tyre, bashed wing, indicator, headlamp and bumper corner. This lot must have been around the 1k mark to fix and TBH it was hardly noticed on the next years policy and i dont do protected no claims but having said that i would still want a 2nd opinion/quote.Count Steer wrote: Wed Aug 10, 2022 7:13 pm£900?

(Probably just disturbed the tracking).

Someone drove it the back of Filly's car. No fault at all. She's a named driver on my insurance - so mine was loaded too!Couchy wrote: Wed Aug 10, 2022 9:14 pmI had two non fault accidents settled and paid for by the other cars insurance, my insurance went up and they tried to explainDocca wrote: Wed Aug 10, 2022 9:08 pm He’s worried that his insurance will go up ( it shouldn’t as it’s my fault?)

The correct thing to do in that scenario is take Mr Flashers insurance details and claim from him.Felix wrote: Wed Aug 10, 2022 9:17 pm

I can't see that washing at all, if someone random tells you it's safe to jump off a pier would you just take their word for it?Pirahna wrote: Thu Aug 11, 2022 8:07 amThe correct thing to do in that scenario is take Mr Flashers insurance details and claim from him.Felix wrote: Wed Aug 10, 2022 9:17 pm
