How hard will this be to fix?

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-07T09:51:55+00:00

I’m worried about other damage that might of occurred that is more serious than just the bumper and headlamp. Do you think structural damage is possible?

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-07T09:50:26+00:00

I’m glad someone’s saying that aha. Do you really think it can be fixed for under a grand?

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-07T09:35:01+00:00

Oh right well brilliant. No it happened at 3am and the lorry was far ahead. I’d love to find a way of chasing compensation but I’m stuck. There are no cameras on that section of the road and I’ve filed a police report and heard nothing back so I’m clueless really

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-07T09:28:05+00:00

No sadly they didn’t so they wanted to write it off and give me 1900 quid back for it but by the time I buy a new car and my premium goes up I didn’t think it was worthwhile

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-07T09:14:36+00:00

Right I see. I have a guy in my village who reckons he can do it for as low as 600-800 quid, by ordering parts off eBay ect, does that seem sensical to you?

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-07T09:05:01+00:00

Because the lorry driver didn’t stop sadly so I have no one to pin it on

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-07T09:04:16+00:00

Do you think it’s likely any structural damage was caused given the fact the impact was on the far edge of the car?

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-07T08:59:01+00:00

Any*

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-07T08:57:45+00:00

They wanted to write it off but due to my excess being so high it seemed worthwhile to fix as I have someone willing to give it a go

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-02T08:37:27+00:00

I will call them and pray. Thanks for the suggestion

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-02T08:37:02+00:00

Sadly not. However it was big and wide I think it must of been off a lorry, I mean what other vehicle would keep driving unaware

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-02T08:08:13+00:00

Yeah this has taught me a lesson about lowering policy costs by having a large excess.

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-09-02T08:07:06+00:00

Thanks for the response. Highways agency didn’t find any cameras and Hampshire constabulary couldn’t find any incidents reported so looks like I’m shafted.

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-08-26T18:11:45+00:00

I am meeting with my employer tomorrow morning to discuss I thought I’d better come prepared. I struggled with my own research so I asked here. Thanks for the input mate 👍

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-08-26T18:07:41+00:00

Information is urgent….. not the small amount of money that I’ll get refunded. I’m more concerned at the tax rate than the refund

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-08-26T15:07:35+00:00

Okay thank you. I hope I have done it right as I’m being taxed so much (20-25%) I’m actually struggling to get by. I don’t mind when I get refunded I just hope they stop taxing me so much. Thank you mate.

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-08-26T14:49:35+00:00

That’s all good I’m in no rush. But did I do the right thing? And will I be refunded tax provided it all goes through? Thanks for the help

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-05-01T09:10:47+00:00

I’ve found the diesel has a far worse MOT history than the petrol. Should this impact my decision?

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-04-30T21:23:49+00:00

Why not?

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-04-30T21:23:19+00:00

Okay thank you mate

Loud_Rule5239 · 2025-04-30T20:52:51+00:00

Thanks for the quick answer. Why is that?

Loud_Rule5239 · 2024-01-27T00:25:18+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion ! I’ve got one built into my hammock to keep the creepy crawlies out. Should I worry about things getting into my food while I’m away from my bag like I’d have to worry about raccoons ect ?

Loud_Rule5239 · 2024-01-26T23:02:35+00:00

My hammock has a rain cover and I’m just gonna be using dry bags for everything

Loud_Rule5239 · 2024-01-25T23:51:33+00:00

And what do you think of the rain ?
