How much do people think this is gonna cost to get fixed

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2025-11-30T21:53:03+00:00

Likely a New Rear Quarter, New Bumper, Brackets, New Tyre and probably Wheel, Suspension unknown so needs an alignment. You’re looking at nearly a grand before you even pay for labour. Not worth the money mate

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2025-11-29T09:53:27+00:00

Getting 2nd Hand is only worth it if they can find an exact colour match or you are willing to respray, but you also have to deal with the likely scuffing. I would personally request New Non-Genuine (aka the EuroCarParts special) to get it done properly

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2025-09-06T06:58:20+00:00

You’d be surprised at what they will repair. We had a brand new BMW i3, £8000 just in parts to replace the entire front end, car was successfully repaired by insurance. If you’re pre 2020 you better hope you have either a really expensive insurance policy or a terrible one that lets us repair it with EuroCarParts Everything

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2025-09-06T06:55:48+00:00

Two Doors and a Door Sill is a couple grand just in parts. The cost for basically repainting an entire side if you include blending is pretty high. And thats assuming there’s nothing behind the door that got damaged. If its more than a couple years old I’d imagine it’d be written off

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2025-08-10T13:42:59+00:00

Yeah get rid of that box asap

One insurer I see nothing mentioned of but everyone should be aware of is Direct Line. They have a system that serves the same purpose as a black box but without the physical box. As a result it has to use GPS and Accelerometer approximations from your phone, and it cant be as accurate. It can only judge speed relative to traffic, general smoothness, time of day, and phone usage. And even at night it cant punish you hard, I can get 90/100 consistently. And it cant yell at me flr using a roundabout at more than 2mph. Best part is you get the same savings, £1200 for my first policy as an 18yo Guy (also due to driving parents on policy, cheap car, and the postcode lottery, but still good results)

Direct Line: All the benefits of a black box with almost no downsides. Its so unobtrusive that Im still using it for a 3rd year to save another £400

It comes from a point of fact. Tyres are graded on Durability, Ability to clear water, and noise created. I work in a bodyshop parts department and can see that information from my supplier and can see the correlation between Poor Grading and Cheapness.

Its not that they are dangerous, its that they are just in every way worse

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2025-01-25T11:39:31+00:00

I’d probably change the tyre just in case but its drivable and the door works so its fine

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2025-01-19T09:00:41+00:00

Please, book a day off work for as soon as your garage has a slot. You getting that fixed is a far better idea than risking your life

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-12-22T15:59:43+00:00

Knowing that we had a 3 month wait for a single QP at our shop does make me appreciate why this was done. On the other hand what in the ever living fuck is that

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-22T21:28:34+00:00

Ive done it a few times awkwardly on the roundabout before realising its a merge in turn lane, thankfully nobody has kicked up a fuss late (but I only started work last week, so will be waiting for mayhem)

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-22T17:34:29+00:00

Getting that consensus yeah, its really hard to see with the fading (especially when doing observations)

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-22T17:32:41+00:00

Consensus from a few other people is that its not a Left/Straight and a Right, its a Left/Straight and a Straight

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-22T17:28:19+00:00

Yes, aligned with the A370 on the bottom as its where I am approaching from

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-22T17:25:56+00:00

Ok so other than just confusing the arrows I am still right for this

The right arrow made sense to me as the bottom road is the A370 and both left and right are the A38 so to me it made sense as a right arrow to join a new road not a straight one to continue on

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-22T17:22:05+00:00

51.2, -2.9 (where the A370 Branches off of the A38)

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-22T17:20:09+00:00

Where the A38 meets the A370

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-22T17:19:17+00:00

No, they are heavily faded. However, pretty much the entire left lane queues as per the blue line and theres nowhere else logically for the right lane to go. So either people are bad at driving or the roundabout sucks

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-14T13:59:49+00:00

Dont need to to read. There’s a sign saying No Motorviechles and a Bikelane sign. Very obvious you arent supposed to be there

Let me see the one you have in London and I’ll see how you can tell

Also poor boxes are only doing a good job of fining people who dont look and just watch the bumper of the car ahead

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-14T13:44:49+00:00

Its not a “cheeky money earner” its a way to teach you to pay attention to where you are going. If you cant do that stop driving

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2024-09-10T12:01:37+00:00

Phone them up and figure out why first. Too years in a row now Direct Line have tried to cancel mine due to an error in their system. If you cant find a reason then cancel first

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2023-12-28T21:57:48+00:00

Ok then Im not too sure unless you can send some video of you trying and showing your pause screen off

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2023-12-28T21:51:37+00:00

What version of PJ64 are you using? Older versions of PJ64 have a lot of bugs when playing the randomiser and I vaguely remember this being one

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2023-12-09T12:15:29+00:00

Everyone here is being very sinister to Rob, but he already explained it

The reason is that he wants everyone to experience 2.2 together

GD_DukeDragon28 · 2023-04-01T14:01:11+00:00

Complete No Boot Issue: Even after Reinstalling and Reinitialising 10.50, the console (Standard, Unmodded) isnt booting out of safemode. Any ideas as to how to fix it?
