I hope you have their details

He gave me his business card .. so I have his work address, and I've checked his reg on AskMID ... he is insured ...

Well I hope it gets repaired soon.

I've just entered SWMBO's old written off Astra on there, the same car the insurers cancelled the policy on cos it had been declared written off. It's insured apparently! :-? :-? :-/ :-/

Just been down to the take-away to get dinner and a prat has reversed into me !!! He's nudged me right on the edge of the rear door with the back of his car .. and is trying to accuse me of hittting him... bit difficult as I was stationary !!!

Too dark to full assess the damage, door opens and closes ok, bit of a dent in the wing quarter panel just by the door handle. Will have to wait until the morning..

As this was in a car park, not on the road, I wonder what the insurers will say ..

Cheesed off now ..

Sorry to hear that matey.
I've just today noticed some careless 2hat has managed to put a 6"x 4" scrape on my nearside front bumper. I'm hacked off and I reckon I can touch it up gradually, something like yours would have me hunting the streets for the fokkers.   

[Entwood]

Damage is not as bad as I feared ... still not happy mind ... and given the position of the damage .. just how can he say I drove into him ?? Unless my Omega can now leap sideways ..











Now to start trawling around body shops ..   Just what I need .. NOT 

[tunnie]

looks like that should pull out 

[Entwood]

looks like that should pull out 

Agreed .. it's the little "ripple" on the underside that concerns me ... will that split on straightening .. ?

[hotel21]

Try one of the dentmaster type fellas first.  You would be amazed at what they can achieve with little (further) damage to the paintwork.  Some also do touch ins.....

[PhilRich]

Hope it's an 'easy fix' Entwood, bet your blood pressure needs a bit of TLC just now too.

You could always ask to get the LPG filler colour coded at the same time as the arch is repaired.

Just been to the Insurance Approved repair centre for them to assess the work.........

Was a tad gobsmacked to be told the car will have to go to a specialist to have the LPG tank removed before the work can be done, then back for the tank to be re-fitted afterwards !!

The quoted reason is that the car cannot go into the "low-bake oven" with the tank fitted ... even if it was empty .. as it is an explosive risk !!!

Now is this some sort of money-making/job-creation scam ... or is it genuine

Has anyone ever heard of owt like this before

(posted the same question on an LPG forum as well... )

I'm afraid to say that seems very plausible as after all the LPG tank is a pressurised vessel, and you would never put one of those in a baking oven!

seems like a small dent but good candidate for rust starting , must be repaired asap imho..
