Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside, NOW FINISHED! - Matt-Rallye - 19-12-2015
Cut a long story short, i crashed into the back of a 14 plate discovery with a massive towbar on yesterday morning!
Insurance is sorting it at a garage of my choosing, Already admitted liability as i don't want the hassle of waiting and having the car shipped off somewhere out of my reach and thankfully its not a write off
Unfortunately what with the time of year i doubt i'll have it back untill new year so bought a £150 audi A4 tdi estate to run about in till its fixed
Piccys!

Main thing is im all ok and the cars repairable. Mostly gutted about losing my no claims! also this is the first incident i have had in 7 years of driving so actually shook me up quite a bit. Also my insurance excess is gonna munch into the 106 turbo build fund
luckily i had just made a purchase for that which i will update now

All that damage from a tow bar wow! Main thing is your ok buddy!
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Toms306 - 19-12-2015
Towbars have to be solid, they don't 'crumple' like cars do!
That Audi looks a shed, I was wondering how you managed to get one for £150...then saw the pic...
Must be gutting though, glad you seem to have it all under control and getting sorted though.
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Matt-Rallye - 19-12-2015
Hey the audi is a gem! Sort me out a pikey map for her tom
MOT on her till march which is all i care about
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Toms306 - 19-12-2015
blacksmoke.com... £45 VAG remaps.
Guess it's a non PD 90bhp one?
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Matt-Rallye - 19-12-2015
PD 115bhp
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - RetroPug - 19-12-2015
Is anything actually wrong with the audi other than a flat tyre?
Saw the accident on FB, not good! Main thing is you're okay.
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Toms306 - 19-12-2015
The bodywork suggests its done about 250k lol...
PD115 should map up to around 140iirc, never done a 115 though so not got a spare map unfortunately!

160k on the clock but its been a runaround for a few mates haha
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Toms306 - 19-12-2015
I probably wouldn't remap it if it needs a clutch lol... DMF is probably due as well.
But at just £45 for a map, it's worth doing anyway lol.
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - RetroPug - 19-12-2015
To be fair, even if you gave it a new clutch and a door mechanism or whatever the problem is when you pull the doorcard off it'd then be a very cheap, working daily hack.
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Matt-Rallye - 19-12-2015
Probably gonna bang a SMF and a clutch on it, fix the door, MOT it and flog it on too a foreigner
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - RetroPug - 19-12-2015
I sort of want but I think I should stick to the reliable fiesta!
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Poodle - 19-12-2015
Lol nice bus. Best place for the megane is the scrappy, reckon you should cut your losses.
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - welshpug - 19-12-2015
Matt is the scrappy lol
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Orta - 19-12-2015

RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Niall - 19-12-2015

RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Magenta Sunset - 19-12-2015
not wishing to rub salt in, but that's why I had a bar fitted to mine.
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - toseland - 20-12-2015
Hopefully they will only shave a few years off the no claims bonus..
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - 7057sam - 21-12-2015
Shit man
Hope your ok,and hope it's back on the road soon.
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Toms306 - 21-12-2015
You can usually protect no claims for like a tenner! Mine are protected just in case.

Small update...
That price is just labour! hoping its not written off now as i know the parts are pretty pricey :/
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Magenta Sunset - 26-12-2015
well, there's no chassis/body damage, and guessing you're handy with the spanners, you'll save the £750 immediately.

The bumper alone costs more than my excess. no way i could do it without selling a kidney on the black market unfortunately.
If they write it off i know i'll never find another DCi the spec of this one so would have to downgrade too an R26.
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Magenta Sunset - 26-12-2015
not thought of 'buying it back' if they do? I did for my m/c, then got parts from a breakers
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Ben_w - 26-12-2015
They won't write that off.......what's the value of the car undamaged?
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Matt-Rallye - 26-12-2015
undamaged value about 4k i would imagine? the DCi 175's hold good money and its a struggle to find one under 4k thats done under 100k miles
RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Toms306 - 26-12-2015
20 hours to change a bumper, radiators and headlights? How can it possibly take that long!?
