ooops...broke my 182...

[rory182]

now speak to matt black, see if its a whole steering rack or half, see if the subframe can be fixed etc etc and pay under £2k

 

[Kiev85]

ive already given the go ahead...

minus the seats etc...

btw they said that the seats would be disposed of...but im sure someone from the dealers would just take them and sew them up and use/sell them...

the road was just damp..? not sodden...

was doing the speed limit at the time aswell...bout 55...it was a 70aswell...

ach well...

 

[Kiev85]

VERY suprised about the subframe...

it wasnt that bad a knock, just a mere clip of the kerb...

383 quid for that 688 plus labour and vat however...

haha

 

[Kiev85]

cheapest part was the anti roll bar at a mere £6.15...

and for ONE suspension spring £127 QUID???? is this cos its a cup pack item??

 

[Kiev85]

rear axel brushes 2 at 33quid each
ant roll bar 6quid
drive shaft 161 quid
bearing 45quid
flange 66 quid
hub 139 quid
sub frame 383quid
top strut mount 55quid
steering rack 314quid
offside front lower arm
offside front shock
offside front spring 359quid for the three

plus

2 alloys
1 trye
airbag computer

[Big Iain]

dunno how i managed the sub frame.

Not to difficult realy there not that strong.

btw they said that the seats would be disposed of...but im sure someone from the dealers would just take them and sew them up and use/sell them.

Seat backs should be dispossed of after an airbag has done off as they are damaged.

Nope all are about that price there nothing special to them.
it will be the anti roll bar bus or more lilly bracket for that price I'm sure thats about the price for the bracket which attaches it to the wishbone.

 

[Big Iain]

so how much is it costing ya and whats bein done?

 

[BUFFALO]

i have to question the subframe, i reckon you could do all this 4 under 2k easy. your right about the seat too that'll be stiched up 4 40 quid.

i have too call you a liar though about the whole situation about how it occurred as there is no way on this green earth you done that amount of damage doin the 55mph. i presume the traction was off or else how do you lose it on a gentle bend in the damp? no offence mate but summit smells fishy.

ooh and your rite bout the airbags, am feart to fart incase one goes off

 

[Big Iain]

buy all the bits needed and get a small garage to do it and like he^^ said it will be alot cheaper

 

[ben_p]

agree with the above

 

[Kiev85]

i have too call you a liar though about the whole situation about how it occurred as there is no way on this green earth you done that amount of damage doin the 55mph.

haha..?? WTF?

call me what you want...haha

I was in the fuckn car driving it at the time so i think i know what fuckn happened..

anyway, it happened about 4.35am on my way to work...so i put it down to the road conditions plus the low tread in my fronts...

 

[Kiev85]

ive given the go ahead for repairs..

i will post the final bill up...took a lot of stuff off, ie seat etc..

so will be about 2grand..prob...

everything thats being done is mechanical...no interior stuff...

that can get done when i come across the green stuff again

 

[Kiev85]

it is all labour costs aswell...

they wanted 65quid for an hours work im sure

 

[BUFFALO]

ah so we're gettin sumwhere then, your tyres were sh*gged lol
na honestly gutted 4 u mate but at that price i'd think it'd be an insurance job, if not am sure a dry saturday a mate and sum axel stands and you could do it yourself

 

[R20 CWH]

jesus 2k for hitting a kerb - no the best that one

 

[Ross M]

yeah 4 g's n id be going through insurance. almost write off material.

 

[R20 CWH]

write for defo imo

 

[Kiev85]

dry saturday..??

might have one of them next year sometime...

i blame the michelin on the left and the F1 on the right...(btw the tryes where legal at the time...too risky with the whole points for bald tyres thing now)

booo

ach well, its done now....so f**k it...

could have been worse...the car could have blown up or sumthn...

unfortunately i will be staying with the 182...

 

[Kiev85]

UPDATE...


apparently i dont need a new front spring anymore....the boys down at the crime lab, i meant renault technician said it is still servicable..


so 127 quid back in my pocket...

but 50 odd quid back out due to my abs sensor being stuck to my hub..
