Re: Accidentally smashed my tv

Tell your insurance company to man up and get one of their inspectors to come and examine it. Asking you to get a report is out of order. When my Sony DVD recorder suffered catastrophic death by lightning, my company sent an engineer round who promptly announced it was indeed dead and sent a report ...

Re: Accidentally smashed my tv

Time for a 55" or 65" UHDtv then. They can be had for reasonable money now and if the insurance company are offering you new for old and the excess is £100 then that's cheap.

Re: turbo/exhaust manifold heathsield still available?

I got a new old stock heatshield for my 820 turbo which is designed to protect the alternator from the turbo/exhaust heat.
True, they do look like asbestos in their construction but I think it's actually grp. Anyway, I don't plan on cutting it up to find out if it's not grp but asbestos.

Re: Which front wiper arm goes where,longer & shorter arm? c

Don't quote me on this but it seems logical that the longer arm covers the drivers side and the shorter one fills in the left side of the windscreen.

Re: Pirtekgate-The saga rolls on - Still No pipe - Greg has

I saved both pics on my pc and compared them. The pipes are not the same way round which makes a direct comparison quite hard.
Since all of these pipes started off the same colour and finish, will it be possible to see the recently delivered pipe in the same position as the missing one ?

The £75 should be the total excess for a single claim so if you claim for both windscreen and the side window you should only pay the £75.
