youre obligated to tell them, also if you dont and you try to claim, its called insurance fraud

True, but I think they were meaning get it insured now and fix it without claiming for this unisured accident. At least I hope so....

Doesn't matter Leon, they'll use it as an excuse to deny any future claims if they find out.

Always had a low opinion on the insurance industry, its worse now that woman has been telling me stories...

Me too. I don't think I've ever had a good experience, or even what I'd consider to be a fair outcome.

No, wait, I tell a lie. About 14 yrs ago someone hit my wife's car & it was fixed satisfactorily with minimal stuffing around. So that's once out of numerous dealings (not only cars)...

I guess it depends on the insurance company. whistling.gif

Only issue with my claim was that the assessor took 1.5 weeks too long to get out and assess my Stagea (it was located ~1hr outside the Melbourne Metro area)

Other than that, Shannon's have been awesome (friendly, attentive and very quick to pay out in my case).

Drives me nuts with stuff like this. Friend of mine had his window smashed and his stereo stolen once. Took them a week to get to him. Middle of winter and he needed his car as a daily, he replaced the window and cleaned up the glass. Assessor was suss about him as he had no proof of the smashed window. Do they not realise that the alternative is them paying for a whole new interior and cab rides for a week? :rolleyes:

      Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.

      Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.

      f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
