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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
