Yeah it did, flipped me around and hit the railing again from behind. Minimal damage to the rear tho, other then the tail light it could all be fixed with a sand and respray. Gave me a good bump tho, think it hurt more then the front collision because it kinda thrust me forwards a bit but I was pinned down by the seatbelt.

Railing is barely damaged as well, which is good cause I'm pretty sure they'd make me pay for it. They're bloody tough!

If anyones after salvage from the rear end of a 7th gen or the interior (minus dash and steering wheel), keep an eye on Perth wreckers.

Yep, damage to roadside furniture you have to pay for, hence why if you can, run!

And never hit a Telstra/Energex box, those things are like $12+k to fix/replace! Light poles/traffic lights are another expensive one.

Terryo might be interested; he seems to be mentioned in any talks about your car.

That's what I thought CTP insurance was for. Or am I thinking of the wrong thing.

Also I thought that your standard comprehensive insurance also covers third party property damage as well up to a rather large amount.

I dont know if my insurance covers third party damage or anything, but thats because I havent needed to know and theres no real damage to the railing (you can see where other people have hit it as well, damn things strong!).

My fault or not, insurance has to pay up, difference being, if its not my fault it doesnt effect my no-claim and I dont need to pay an excess. Now my noclaim will go down a bit and I have to pay like $650 excess.

Yeah mate most full comp insurance should cover light pole/bus stops ect ect...with Shannons they have covered me for upto 6 million dollars for damages i might cause in an accident...maybe driving thru a shopping mall smashing into everything you see might get close to the 6mil in damages. :P

CTP = Compulsory Third Party, and is designed to cover injury and damage caused to people you hit. It is compulsory (as part of rego) so in the case of an accident, at least things which can't be replaced by money (ie people) are still covered even if the drivers involved don't have any other insurance on third-party property (ie damage to the other car) or comprehensive (covers ~everything).

As far as i know insurance dose cover if you happen to damage property [poles, fences, walls etc]

my mate had a microsleep once, drove through a fence, through a lil wall and then into a ditch... insurance paid for all damages

He just paid his excess... and watched his premium rise lol

Called HBF... got some mixed messages and apparently the assessor will be calling me next week.

Seriously if this thing is going to be repaired thats just ****** up, the whole front of the car needs replacing and the repair shop showed me just how twisted the thing was...

Me thinks I'll have to be pretty clear when I chat with the assessor next week.

I gave the interior a full detail today. I usually do a once over inside but this time I went full out. I used Meguires leather cleaner and used heaps, the amount of crap that came out of the seats was amazing!

I went through two micro fibre clothes because the first once just went filthy and black after rubbing in the leather cleaner. Now the car smells like new and the seats shine and are nice and slippery. Not sticky or anything.

I amorall'd all the dash and trim and then I gave a vacuum for like 45 minutes. I think I took like half an inch of carpet off from vacuuming so much haha!

Then I used Oust anti-bacterial surface spray into the aircon vent under the glove box, then sprayed all the carpets with it.

The car smells and looks like it came out of the factory. I'm in love with it now, I wanted to take my shoes off goes inside :P.

I still need to detail the outside of the car though but didn't bother as its still not bad and it's going to be raining in Melbourne according to the weather reports so don't want to bother.

:D

      Towbars

      I went to my local Toyota Dealer for a nudge bar and tow bar for my 2017 AWD RAV4 and was told by their part's department was told "parts no longer made." Looking at aftermarket (ECB, Haymen Reese and ARB) but hesitant because sellers can't give 100% guarantee that parts will fit GLX facelift model.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have the same issue with my 22 new Hybird Kluger. I also found my (grande) new Kluger has missed 220V power point and camera view on central mirror comparing with same car in US. This clearly are the short cuts to Australia Toyota customers which is unacceptable.

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt
