Cheers, I'll have a look at the MkIII bits This'll be the bugger will it?

Are you getting your bit's from Raymotors?

Aye, I've buckled my 17" when I crashed, so going to go for 288s and put my speedo's back on til I find the right set of rims. So I'll just need 288mm disk of a MkIV Golf? And to dig out my bolts?

I've got the 312's on, but have just bought some carriers for 288s, what else am I going to need (apart from a 288 disk)

insomniak, where do you live?

Cool, I was just thinking about an ARB

I need this list too fella, got a set of H+R coilies winging it's way to the IOM :-)

I'm looking for a list of stuff to replace when putting coilies in too.

It seems that they ALREADY had an independent assessment of £3,000.00. So why when they have that would they send me a lower offer? Still not happy with 3k, shall I ask for a copy of the report?

There's a little thread about it here

They are going to send an independent assessor to look at the car, hopefully they will be more realistic.

I'm gonna have to get one :-( My car will need a retest, and they will fail it on that.

...

Not sure what it's called, but I need the part number of the bit under the radiator that goes all rusty. Alternatively, if there is anywhere to get it cheaper than VAG, I'd appreciate the advice.

I need to get a new mocal, and think it's cheapest to get one from them direct... but I don't know what fitting I need. Any ideas? I originally got it at stealth.

Why are you getting them custom made? I got a box set that fit well enough.

Ir's programmable, switch it on, switch it off, leave for the timeperiod you want, then switch back on again and it remembers the timeperiod.

Mine is a 93 with 65k miles but no leather, insurance have valued it at 2275 :shock: I think you'd be lucky to get near 6750 in the current climate, perhaps it would you would get more selling the schrick seperately.

Cheers, I think I'll write rather than phone, but this is the first draft of my next letter

I wasn't going to, but should I continue with my claims administrator, or go to the "quality manager" She said she was paying "top book value"

I'm really terrible on telephones :( I have no idea why, but my brain goes blank and I never say what I want to. I think I'll write in to "the quality manager"

Just called me back and they said 2275 was their final and only offer. I think it's time to write to the complaints manager.

I'm getting really hacked off with this insurance now. It's been over 2 months since I crashed, and they still seem to be fannying about. They received my letter on the 8th, but still haven't looked at it. Seriously tempted by the complaints dept.

I've got a Stealth bill for a full rebuild for around £3.5k
