Hey all, had a crap morning today. some old fart stopped dead in a main road and the car behind him slamed on the brakes, and so did I but due to the rain I slid into the back of him, I was heading right for him but at the last moment i managed to get the nose pointed to the side of him and just glanced the bumper of his car. looks no more then a few scuffs and scratches to his car so dont even think its a new bumper, but for me a scuffed bumper, broken fog light. now I have to give him a call later with my ins details as I didnt have them to hand, do you think it worth asking him to get a quote and paying him direct saving us both the trouble of going though insurance? or just go the usual route of insureance. I know usually if you go into the back of someone its your fault but if the car in front of him stops dead so they stop to avoid him does that still count? Guy seamed ok at the time, dont think I would have been if i was him as it was a brand new 08 plate skoda Fabia.

Not a problem, :) as i said always happy to help :) already helped a few members off here :)

Hey, Was in Bideford this week and see a red one parked up with 300zx.co.uk sitckers in the windows and what looked like split rims. Anyone on here?

Hey Not a problem :) and just shout when you need a hand putting it all back in :) and Dads in no rush for the engine hoist at the mo :) P.S. wheres the pics? and aggree them sarnies were spot on!

I'd pull it off and strip it down mate. but from the metal to metal sound i would say its the planarity gear that's gone (usually go if its not getting enough oil) and you can buy individual parts to replace the damage. They are not as complex as people make out and if you are ok with working on the car the auto box is not much worse :)

no where else to go mate, could not afford to move again and it was a nice place apart from the issues. StellaZ just spoken to sister, and she said at one point the landlord was on the phone every day asking about the rent.:rant:

Thanks mate anything is a help :) as for illegal to make you homeless, how does that work? as it was a court balift that came round etc, but now dad and brother are living in his van (only a basic ford transit ffs) and my sister and her other half and 2 kids (one is about 6 months and the other is just over 1) they have nowhere to go, and so far sister has had to leave kids with her father-in-law for last few nights while she finds somewhere to stay each night :( the agent has been great so far and said to dad that he can pay the arrers off once he has found a place, but its the landlord that has started a legal clame for it :S and he said he had a new window ready but it was never fitted cos none arranged for them to fit it. well the times we were told it was booked they never turned up, then the agent said we had to call them and arrange it, well we did but never got a reply from them.

Sounds like you need to clear the cache files from the hdd, not sure off the top of my head how you do that though.

Hey StellaZ, I think there is the odd letter asking for it that i found when helping dad to move, also I would get the odd call from the agent if he could not get through to dad, anna or pete. and he would just say to get pete to call him, hence i did not know about any of this till dad said he had to move, he was exicted on the 22 and so far has been living in his van since thursday with my brother, he also had to take all last week off unpaid to move all our possesions from the house etc. so that is more money he lost, as for the damage to the house, I will list what was wrong. Back door frame is falling out, you can push the top of it out, and its only got screwes in the bottom, the top was held in with silicone sealent. same with the window next to it, its crept away from the sill. Rotton floor boards in one room so much so its actually fallen though and there is a hole. my old room the wallpaper was peeling off the wall by the window due to damp. Dads room window fell out (thank god noone was under it) and has been like that for 20 months. infact i think it was like that before sister had her kids. and now the smaller one if falling out and is a danger to anyone using the back door as the glass is only just hanging there and ready to fall. also when it rains hard dad said the roof was leaking in his room but i never see that. Last but not least, there was a small loo upstares that feed into a small electric pump/shreader box think, that then pumped it all up into the loft, where it then connected to the rain water Drains!!! and not a sewer. that cant be right can it? I will try and post up pics of the issues.

LOL and a top guy Uno is to! if i was not broke i'd pay you the commision my self lol. oh will a few :duffer::duffer::duffer: some time will have to do ;) P.S. Uno, 7th is good with me to give you a hand with your car :) fits nicely between my week off and soon to be brother in laws 21 :)

Yep it does, its witnessed for the agent just not us. as it was signed the day we moved in on the counter in the kitchen. looking at it the arreres started 3 months before i moved out, so was advised to fight it and say i was unaware of it etc, also I am already in an IVA and from what i have been told, if i dont pay that I go bankrupt and if i get more debit while under an IVA i go bankrupt so its a lose lose situation for the clament i guess. plus i own fookall apart from the z and thats not worth much as the body work is shagged!. so i guess its not in his intressets to persue me, and dad is in the same boat, IVA etc due to being to ill to work etc. so i think the same would apply to him. TBH we have no issues paying them, but if you dont have the cash what can you do?

Dads, sisters, brother in laws and mine.
