Lightning Member 335 Member For: 22y 3m 28d Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 14/09/04 05:29 AM Share Posted 14/09/04 05:29 AM Hi all,You may remember my woes of a few weeks back... Well, I got an unexpected call this morning to tell me that my car was ready to be collected at 4:30pm today.As overjoyed as I am, the timing was inconvenient, so I can't get it until tomorrow morning as I have to juggle returning a car I have borrowed off a friend. Anyway, you lot don't care about that.The interesting thing about this, is that it's 2 weeks early. Hmmmm. Will have a GOOD look over it tomorrow. Any hints as to what I should check for the damage I had? (panels down the full length of the left hand side).Woohoo! I think I may knock off early tomorrow!

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3m Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 14/09/04 07:16 AM Share Posted 14/09/04 07:16 AM check for overspray and colour matching. Check the alignment of the doors and bonnet. Also open the bonnet and make sure they put everything back where it is meant to be, check to make sure they replaced everything they said like mouldings and wheels.Oh also ENJOY having the power back Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12857-woohoo-my-repairs-are-finished/#findComment-165111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take a camera with you and take heaps of pics before you drive it away, at least then if you come across something a bit dodgy there will be a better chance of recourse.Applying your two week early logic I will be getting the same call on Thursday - yeh right Trent.

Ummm.... It was marshmallow, wasn't it?Thanks all! I got another surprise phone call this afternoon. "By the way, we forgot to tell you, we had to replace a tire and HBF say you need to pay 30% towards it, so please bring another $101 dollars with you"."Why?", I said."Because the tire that was damaged wasn't 'as new' [ie: it was worn], therefore you have to pay a percentage towards replacement""Oh. Bugga. Okay, thanks". -click-Checks policy document. Hmmm, can't find anything about that. Guess I'll be ringing them tomorrow before I can take the car away.Also, I have a problem with paying my excess just because the who hit me isn't returning HBF's phone calls or letters. The policy just states that:"You can satisfy us that the accident which led to the claim was entirely the fault of the driver of another motor vehicle, andYou can advise the name and address of the other driver, andYou can provide the registration number of the motor vehicle at fault, or... stolen ... - not relevant"So, I have done 2 and 3, so does that mean that they're not satisfied I was not at fault? Why do I have to wait until they send the collection agency around? Sheez.Anyway, thanks for the tips all, will do. Will also take camera.Lightning.... Vrooom....
