Has anyone else experienced this?

While I was driving thru the M5 tunnel yesterday i felt a very minor minor bump.

Later on the evening when i got out to check there was a scratch/scrape on my rear bumper down to the plastic.

The best I can describe it is that it looks like a scrape from another car at low speed (ie car parking scrapes), except it wasnt from that.

I was doing 80km and something hit me in the M5.

The first time that happened to me was early this year, and I was in the left lane (hence it got my rear bumper on the left hand side), this time I was in the right lane (and it got my rear bumper on the right hand side).

The scrapes are identical.

I definately know the scrape wasnt there on Tuesday nite, cos i washed my car, and the following day I parked on the street. It was only after I went on the M5 tunnel and got home that I noticed it.

Any idea wtf is causing this to happen? There goes another $100 down to drain to get this repainted. :angry:

Last year I had a guy in Subaru Impreza RS throw what must have been a 20c piece at my car after we raced each other heading onto the South Western motorway around Kyeemagh (must have ****** him off). Needless to say it left a nice scratch on my passenger door. He did it just as I was turning off heading towards General Holmes Drive, so he's lucky I didn't get his plates. :angry:

      2Door 1975 KE30 Corolla 4Sale

      Looking to see what offers are made for my 2Door 1975 KE30 Corolla The car has been sitting in the garage for quite a few years now as I planned to have it restored. Unfortunately, I have not gotten around to it and am now considering selling if I receive a reasonable offer. The photos in this ad are old however the condition of the car is still similar to the photos. There is a couple of rust spots that need attention and a dent to the body that can all be resolved with the know-how. All in all condition of the car is really quite good. The engine was running great and did not have any issues when I was driving it a few years ago but it has sat around for a few years now. The car has always been reliable and great to drive. This was my first car and I have no strong desire to sell, if the right offer came along I would consider selling due to needing the money for other things. I would like to pass this rare Corolla on to someone with the passion to restore it. You do not see 2 door KE30s around anymore and I don't know if there are any more of these left in SA (it might be the only 1975 KE30 left in Aus).

      Low Fuel Warning Light Flashing

      Hi guys,I have 2 solutions to this problem, Me : I have an early 2015 VDJ200 and I got the "Fuel system error" come up on the dash, my fix was, 1. Checked the relay for the Jet Pump in the main tank, found that the relay was not getting the earth signal from the ECU (for whatever reason). This stops the subtank from emptying into the main tank. I earthed out the relay and now the Jet pump runs as soon as you start the engine, 3yrs later and still going strong, no fault codes, all that is different is that you can hear the pump run when turning on the ignition. 2. Second possible cause (as written up in the now defunct lcool.org) The wiring on top off the fuel pump lid (connector) can melt and cause a high resistance thus stopping the pump from operating and therefore causing the subtank not emptying into the main tank. I hope this helps everyone who has this fault. Please note this applies ONLY to the Turbo Diesel V8 Cheers, Paul

      79 series randomly dies under power

      Most likely culprit would be an intermittant Suction Control Valve on the HP Pump. I also wouldnt rule out some FOD in the Tank...Like a piece of plastic floating around in the tank and blocking the pick up

      2019 LC76 4.5 V8 Injector issues

      Bailey's Injector group..They DLC more than just the shaft like the stock Denso injectors. Run a 2 or 5 Micron Secondary Fuel Filter. This will make the Injectors last well over 400K if you change both the Filters regularly. Be very very careful when reading + injector values.. More times than not the ECU is compensating for a lazy Pot If the Engine has no EGR delete then the Intake will need cleaning, and normally it's Pot 4 that suffer first due to a less than tuned intake and the preferred intake airflow path

      1VD - Ticking Noise

      Cracked Rocker..Its been known to happen. Inspect the Roller Rocker arms. This Valve Train has a roller rocker Hyd. lash adjusters..If it ticks then it's either a cracked rocker arm or less likely a buggered seal in the lash adjuster

      LC 300 Engine Maintenance Required

      More likely the dealer has not cleared the Maintenance when done. I assume you have already had at least 1 service?
