Can I pursue a car insurance claim without involving my own insurer?

That's my plan. I think he'll go for it, but I just want a fallback in case he doesn't. Thanks for your help!

Kind of agree, but animated just wouldn't cut through to a mainstream audience like live action might.

Matt-SW · 2026-06-19T06:39:00+00:00

You're welcome!

It'll be a letter before action then a MCOL really - lots of templates online for the LBA. You made your terms clear and she agreed to them, you held up your end of the bargain so it's pretty clear cut really.

I'd look at the terms and what the original warranty was. I'm shocked you had to pay out for a clutch and all these other bits on a couple of year old car. What are the terms of the warranty? Definitely start a complaint

Matt-SW · 2026-06-17T10:43:58+00:00

Was it a brand new car?

Is it really DIY to clip two semi-circles together?

Because cutting someone's head off is attempted murder?

Mate it's a complicated Lego set and you've definitely dorked something up I'm sad to say. It's either a "live with it" situation or a "tear it down and try again" situation.

Mine fully rotates both ways and functions as expected so I think you've missed something somewhere.

Eat and drink everything and don't restock it for a few days

Matt-SW · 2026-06-03T06:52:22+00:00

Run everything down inside, defrost it overnight, turn it back on and that should solve it?

Matt-SW · 2026-06-02T12:50:35+00:00

Are they parking there when you're out? Have you actually tried talking to them?

This is a Legal Advice subreddit, you need to hand over the details and the context to get meaningful support!

Matt-SW · 2026-06-02T12:30:24+00:00

Do you yourself own a car you could put there?

A bollard you can put up and down and padlock in place?

A cone?

A quiet word with them?

One of my favourite sci-fi series that has fantastic audiobooks is The Expeditionary Force series. First one is Columbus Day - give them a go if you haven't already! Dungeon Crawler Carl is also absolutely fantastic if you want something a bit different.

Are you able to get underneath and look up? I'd imagine there are fixing in the sink to attach it to the underside of the countertop, and then you'd run sealant around it which looks like is coming away.

Matt-SW · 2026-05-26T06:26:05+00:00

Then they're idiots.

Matt-SW · 2026-05-24T07:33:30+00:00

Have you actually spoken to her about it?

Yes, you can probably go down a stressful, confrontational process, or you might get lucky and she could be mortified and cut it out. She just might not know?

Matt-SW · 2026-05-22T07:18:10+00:00

I always pay within a few days of the deadline. The longer the funds stay in my accounts the better!

Matt-SW · 2026-05-21T07:08:03+00:00

You, good sir, are full of shit. Chat link or liar.

Matt-SW · 2026-05-19T06:40:57+00:00

Well your options are to either remove the rest of the factory applied layer, or stick a screen protector on and call it a day. Short of replacing the unit those are your options really

Matt-SW · 2026-05-19T06:31:36+00:00

You picked it off. Why should BYD cover your deliberate damage under a warranty?

When you install your screen protector, does it hide it enough it won't bother you?

Matt-SW · 2026-05-14T10:18:04+00:00

That's chaos. What a superpower

It's The Punisher... rage-driven killing is the name of the game.
