But today a fkn transperth bus decides he wants to ram into it.

Ouch man. That looks so painful. I can understand how p*** off you'd be. The accidents that are caused by hopeless drivers are always infuriating.

Bad news At least the insurance is paying but they should give you a loan car since it is their fault.

correct. if the other partys insurer has accepted liability (which they should according to barometer 1 - quote this, that'll shut them up), you are legally entitled to claim for hire car costs through them.

generally they dont mention this to you because they want to minimise their loss ratio on claims.

the only pitfall of that is you will have to pay for it yourself initially, and forward the invoices/receipts to the insurer who will reimburse you for it.

I feel your pain with your car man. Hope it's not off the road for too long, and hope you're able to sort out a loan car.

sorry to hear that mate. i'm guessing they can't cover for the sports grill?

also it looks like transperth is trying to recoup the cost by making you take public transport <_<

The bus crashed into a parked car? Wth..!

Sorry to hear this man..

Well, They should cover for a loan car at least to compensate! It's common sense to replace evrything including the non-material loss that resulted from the accident.

That's 2 bad news for a White Aurion in 5 mins.. >.< :(

I am trying to get some stuff from the Thai side thru a Thai friend, not really confident everything will pull thru, but if they did reply i can help you ask for the grill.. can you pm me your details so that we can liaise from there if i get a reply from them.

btw there is a grill on sale on the buy/sell thread and ebay, you might want to consider that if you are in a hurry.

Bus drivers .... some of them are freakin crazy.

I was waiting to cross at the lights on the corner of Lonsdale street and Swanston Street one afternoon and the "Green Man" came up for the pedestrians (including myself) to cross over Lonsdale st , I took two steps and noticed that a bus was barreling through the intersection along Lonsdale ... I look at the driver and kinda threw up my hands in a "WHAT THE F^^K" type motion ... we all stepped back to the curb and the driver continued to floor it.

He then let go of the steering wheel and with both hands flipped us the bird.

What a prick.

Also .... I bet a bus would never hit your parked car if it was an old bomb and you wished it got written off.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
