I doubt it EPM, if you ever hopped off that motorway every now and again you'd see the state of some roads . If you ever have to drive through tuam, you'll be cringing for about 20 miles after.

I have done a lot of crap roads and hit many a pothole and never, ever done that at 50. Unless the wheels complete crap or been repaired I find that hard to believe. And Toooooom was a regular stop too.

Anyway, I wouldn't risk a repair. Not worth it dude.

Jaysus thats really bad, get down to the pot hole tomorrow with your camera and take pictures!

Waiting on a call tomorrow could be shocks, superstrut, ball joints anything really:)

Its pulling very badly to the left so tracking is flipped imo
Very hard to get any money from the council i hear too :mad:

It happened to my mother a few years ago, she had to get a new tyre and wheel replaced, she got it back from the council. Had to send pics of the pot hole and her wheel too AFAIR. Took over a month though.

Your not having much luck these days are ya? Report it to her insurance company for a start. Any expenses from your hospital visit should be covered I would imagine.

pudzey101

i know same old story lol Ya shes with FBD, do i not report to my own insurance no:O and will she be liable to fix damage on car? even though its not too bad but notice-able ?

Get the car checked out, there could be damage behind the bumper, creased boot floor etc, you never know 'till you look. I'd be more concerned about the neck though tbh if you were in discomfort after the accident.

Panel beater/spray painter
They'll advise is there any damage other than what's visible, might have a bent bumper bracket or something if no major damage done.

If you knew that why did you ask? You should consider getting a friend called google? I found them when I bought my latest car and got interested in detailing, and threads on here weren't good for a beginner detailer, my friend google helped

I lol'd
there is a good valid reason why they get cheaper insurance

Compton

I have a very good reason why they have cheaper insurance, but I don't think TestTransmission would agree

Don't try to be a smartass, it doesn't suit you

pudzey101

Back on topic anyway il keep ye posted and let yee know if iv any more stupid questions i need answered !!

pudzey101

just back from repair place got a quote of 419.95 :O !! for fixing a little tip on back bumper ! taught he was having a laugh with that quote hahah

Ardennes1944

ehem....thought not taught

you'd be amazed what damage can be done from a small tip. its a tonne and a half weight pushing against some plastic so its understandable too

pudzey101

i know :P ah iv done by research cat will be going back on for nct :P people telling me you can get upto 15bhp extra with it de-catted but i fail to belive that ha ha

Drummerboy08

I have one Cat out of my car, must get around to doing the other one.

There is a big enough difference in power alright, 15-20bhp isnt all that unreasonable!

pudzey101

nice one cant wait to get it back and test it out haha !! make much difference in sound wise ?

Drummerboy08

It was already out when I bought it, but being honest the car is running around 115db at the minute which is nearly as loud as a 747 at takeoff power....:D

I just finished de catting a friends civic this morning in the driveway...Seems to be abit more throttle responsive now. Standard back box on the car so it's just a simple decat. Sounds more raspy aswell.

pudzey101

pudzey101

You don't need it. If you owe it, you pay arrears on it. So in your case you'd pay for the months it wasn't taxed, or since your date of purchase. If it's from your date of purchase, you need to get the form stamped at the guards.

Are you with Quinn (now Liberty)? If so then yes if your current policy is still active on your car and its not written off or damaged beyond repair and you have their permission and its not a commercial vehicle.

But you should always double and triple check these things!
