Sorry to hear Mark; what sort of damage. Can't you claim against yours?

I was hit by a stolen car. the other insurance company still paid up. Try.

[brrm]

Sorry to hear it!

This might be helpful, although they do advise using your own insurance if you have fully comp. It may help out with your No Claims though, could be worth a call for advice!

Never used them myself, but I've seen them mentioned in the past in the context of uninsured/hit-and-run incidents...

[ksilver]

Not good.

Depending on the damage I think Brian has a couple of shells that could e used for a rebuild.

[2V8s]

yes I claimed off the MIB years ago rather than even my own fully comp insurance as my car was hit when parked by an uninsured driver who'd stolen his auntie's car! Anyway they paid up on the basis that I was only 18 at the time and didnt see why I ought to suffer the cost of my excess and ongoing increased premiums for claiming given I was only 17 at the time and it was my 1st year driving. They paid up. That was he mid 90s though.

As I understand it, the MIB gets a small cut of each premium sold in the UK to help out with uninsured losses eg in the case of a thord party hit from a stolen or uninsured car.

Try all avenues - you dont ask, you dont get!

[mark mann]

Thanks for your concern! may be able to get compensation from cps ! but may be in for a long wait, the car only needs rear panel and boot floor ,bootlid lights etc both rear wings are repairable,But am starting new buisness and dont have time or cash to repair myself

[Tim]

Crikey thats a bang, repairable though

[ColinE]

Christ that must have hurt!

[Herman]

Oops, that's been a bit of a bang.........
Hope you're alright, no whiplash etc....

Hopefully the chassis beams didn't bend and it could be a good repair job for someone
Otherwise I'm not so sure, it's the damage you can't see that's normally expensive :)

[mark mann]

Thanks for uploading the pictures dominic! Luckily I wasent in the car when it happened ! I Have been in the car body repair buisness all my working life and have checked the rear chassis legs and all the damage seems to be superficial! and because there is no insurance pay out it will not be recorded as cat c or d

[spartacus]

If he turns that sub up loud enough, that will probably push it back out!!

[Terry]

Never ceases to amaze me as to why we pay insurance, some scroat crashes into an innocent driver/car and you can't get a pay out without legal aid! Have no idea why the innocent have to suffer all the time.

Can I ask the obvious question - If you are in the body repair business, then why not repair it yourself?

[lowey260]

I remember myself and Merl speaking to a guy from the North East at last years chomondeley pageant of power about his ICE install and I was jealous at the sound of it. If thats the same one then that looks awesome:D

If you ever decide to remove the system and sell seperate from the car, then I'd be very interested;) I presuming the rear end damage has damaged several components including the amp looking at the position:(

Was about to say that looks an awesome ice install!

[Merl]

It is :) but I lost the number off my phone so I'm sorry I never got back to you :( well I now have 100 numbers that I don't know who is who lol.

Glad you wasn't hurt! some damage that though, looks like you never got that supercharger fitted.

[Dominic22]

Mark Called and sent me a couple of photo's of the ICE set-up. So thought I would put them up for you to see.

HI paul! yeah we met at chomondeley supperchager is still in kitchen! one day will fit it to something! but none of the equipment in the boot got damaged!! even the tv and sat nav still work! all the equipment is for sale thanks to dom you can see more please message me if you want more details

[colintf]

#045 I think

[2V8s]

im assuming you only have tpft cover then? otherwise i cant see how you wouldnt be covered.

[mark mann]

Due to economic climate i had to put mg on my traders policy and they would only give tpft cover! A very bad move in hindsight:mad::mad:

Mark,

I have sent you a PM

[ColinE]

If you decide to break her let me know

[Merl]

Hopefully she can be salvaged!!

What size are those wheels?

[mark mann]

HI Colin what parts are you after?

[mark mann]

hi martin! only 18's but one is smashed!

[Merl]

Thats a shame, and if I remember right you made those exhausts yourself?

If you do break her then I would possibly be interested in some bits.

The rocker covers are interesting especially as the oil filler appears to be on the near side... or is that me?

Mk1 non SE?

[ColinE]

HI Colin what parts are you after?

Sorry if it seems mercenary but if you're not in a position to repair her

Possibly carpet

Rear spolier if intact

What seats are they, and what condition

Does it have power rear blind and or Harmon Kardmon rear parcel shelf

Cheers

Colin

[Merl]

Haha I was thinking rear spoiler possibly as mine needs a respray...

Hmm Colin you forgot Petrol cap cover ;)

[ColinE]

Thought you were spraying yours green!

Oddly enough if you look at the pic - the fuel filler cap does not seem to match, same as mine!

I decided to keep the Q car look ;) I did have a think abou he other style spoiler but decided that suited a mkII beter as that bumper is angular

I couldn't tell on my phone if it was or not... though mybe your one matches marks and marks matches yours ;)

[mark mann]

Like vultures circaling a dying animal! have been shouting at insurance companys! and they may be looking at the case again! if they pay out i may have to break the poor thing! the boot spoiler is intact but has slight frost damage! the interior is full black leather and is exellent electric seats but NOT memory, car has full harmon kardon set up but no rear blind ! the rocker covers are left hand oil fill and need bulkhead mods to fit ! i can supply these! also have polished underdrive pully kit and set of chrome exhaust headers wich are new and unused! may ask dominic if he can post pictures of them on here thanks

[Merl]

Vultures at times but I would much rather see the car back on the road! fingers crossed with the insurance company.

[Tim]

Yep I'd like to see it back in one piece too. But if it is the end then re-using parts is better than total oblivion. :(

Absolutely - rebuilt is best, re-used is better than crushed

No Problem posting photos up for you. Just send them and will get it sorted

I tried to post that the other day, but it said the thread was closed / locked.

:cool:

[mark mann]

does anyone know where this clip is? :ash:ash

[Herman]

does anyone know where this clip is? :ash:ash

On the fuel filter assembly, under the N/S rear seat, under an access panel.
Filter needs to come out to check presence.

[Tim]

Have a look here Mark.
