honestly mate with if theres sand and paint in engine, if your insured, It will probably be written off. no one knows if the engine been started with sand in it, if it has, will require rebuild or replacement,

Sorry to here. but we wouldn't know. How long is a piece of string?

You will need to query that with your insurance company who will have an assessor and repairer look over the car and compile a quote.

Even then you won't need to know if you have full comprehensive insurance who will cover that but you'll need to pay Excesses.

Hopefully that helps and good luck ;)

Cheers thanks!

Yeah i have insurance, just trying to work out what they may do with it... the people who will do the quote of the insurance think it is better if its written off..

Thank for your feedback!

well it's a ton of labour to repair.

They'd replace any parts that are paint/oil damaged, the engine and fuel tank would have to come out, engine torn down and cleaned/re-assembled, fuel tank stripped down and cleaned, pump/filter assy replaced, radiator cleaned/replaced, etc etc etc.

With labour being around the $80/100hr mark they may class it as uneconomical to repair.

Are you insure at market value or agreed value?

Just said your car still worth $20K, the insurance company will only write off your car if the repair bills will exceeding $20k.

You might get a new engine for around $5K or may be less but not sure how much will be the labour costs to replace an engine.

Good luck and all the best.

Write off for sure..

Why does your car get stolen, it is a 2008 model and fit with immobiliser. Does your car look high profile to others?+

Common misconception. They can write the car off at any value in which they think is uneconomical for them to repair. Say the accident only had $9,000 worth of damage... there may be instances where due to the damage they may simply just write it off. It all comes down to the assessment.

I'm sorry to hear mate, but just imagine society without insurance companies! Are you following it up with the police to catch the criminal who did this?

And paint. Were they stealing it to go to a job? Odd...

doesn't sound like a car thief it sounds like somebody doesn't like you. cost of repairs is irrelevant you just have to pay your excess.

Very sorry to hear about all that damage mate. However as previously stated, it smacks of someone who is not quite best mates with you. Car thieves don't do that. And they don't steal 2008 Corollas to "do jobs" (eg armed robberies etc) very often. Have you ****** someone off recently?!?!?!

I would suggest the insurance company will write it off.

Which leads me to think: next project.... :yahoo:

I'd also have to say that it is probably an act of someone who doesn't like you. Think about who it may be.

I meant what were they doing with paint and sand, heading to a work site? ; )

But yeah, malicious intent, not cool. Good thing you had insurance.

Hrmmm... I am also of the opinion that it's probably someone who doesn't like you. Time to go over the list of people you may have offended.

They brought paint and sand to thrash the car just in case they can't get very far with it? lol

Damn dude sorry to hear, wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy...

Our old Ford stationwagon got stolen back in the day, all the robbers did was drive it to Dromana and leave it in a ditch. They didn't put paint in the car and sand into the engine and whatnot.

I'm also on the other guys' side - definitely done with malicious intent. Again, sorry to hear.

Ah, now I'm with you! A couple of disgruntled labourers, disenchanted with the lack of work recently because of the rain... :whistling:

Hurray for insurance.

      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

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
