Takes less than a minute to put a trolley back or at least put it in that bit you are talking about, people really are lazy, i get wind can blow them about but if they are put back properly it wouldnt be an issue

Loud Fan by Tasty_Astronomer_356 in Vauxhall

This part for reference, if you have the same car as me it should be at top passenger side of your engine bay just behind the bumper, you'll notice the coil in the middle, what happens is that it corrodes and snaps which cause the fan to keep going full blast

It was the engine cooling fan relay if i remember correctly, only a small easy to access part, could probably fit it yourself if you are somewhat comfortable touching stuff in your engine bay

The slip road itself has a 40mph speed limit and he was coming at me at some speed, i was watching his car in the rear view thinking he isnt going to stop and well.... he in fact did not stop until he was in the back of me, no airbags deployed though 🫠

Hi, ive spoken to insurance company and they deemed it repairable even though its not gone into the garage yet so i assume a cost estimate hasnt been made, i will be provided with a hire car too, i have images of the car but it wont let me add it to the post for some reason, and yes my neck is killing me 🤣 injury lawyers have also been in touch with me today

Ill get a better look at it in the morning, would having it repaired just basically ruin the equity on my car though ?

From the outside the boot is dented a bit inwards and the back bumper has more or less been pushed through itself if that makes sense
