accident

My dreaded W210 E320 CDI - Having had my injector seals replaced along with 2 injectors, the car was running beautifully. First time since I bought it in May. I park it up in a car park, and a lady in Freedlander decides to reverse into the driver side front wing. So now it needs an new...

Is there a database that Joe Public can access where you can determine what accident repair has been done to a second hand car, through an insurance company I've spoken to HPI and they record Cat A,B,C,D where the insurance company has paid out in full for the car, i.e, a write off, but not...

The IAM have just published an analysis of contributory factors in road accidents as collected by the Police since 2005. It makes interesting reading and while the report is honest enough to point out that there are limitations inherent in the data, it really does bring into question why so...

An interesting (if lengthy) article. LINK. Plenty of worthwhile information that explains in depth, the rising costs of motor insurance.

I've been running a thread on the insurance repair of my CL500 at a non MB workshop. The car was sent back yesterday and I rejected it due to a number of issues, not least of which is the fit of some panels I've posted a few pictures for your opinion on the bonnet fit I don't recall...

Hello to everyone, I am new to this forum, having been the proud owner of a brand new A class since last December. However my joy was short lived after a stupid bloke decided to skid his car into mine after what I think was reckless driving from his side. My car didn't sustain as much damage...

In the news today Lucky save for the football team - Germany in Focus News - German Herald English Online Newspaper about Germany Sounds pretty bizarre? Presumably it was a suspension spring, but how did it (or part of it) come right off :eek:

A friend of mine was involved in an accident today. His CLC skidded off the road, and into a ditch, causing minor damage. Unfortunately another car coming along the same road skidded in exactly the same manner, went into the ditch and into the back of his car, causing somewhat more significant...

Junior B had a 'wee' accident in the car a couple of weeks back. Not much appeared to escape and I mopped up the seat at the time with tissue and wet wipes and thought nothing more of it as it was such a small amount. Roll on to now and the car has a distinct aroma of pee when you get in which...

Just heard news that it was a friend of mine on the bike. BBC News - Eastleigh biker dies in crash on M4 in Wiltshire Rear ended by a drunk driver on an otherwise empty motorway. He was only 28. :mad:

Has anyone had any experiences with a non fault accident management company, as in the people who give you a like for like car when yours is in for repair? My dealer in the south west put me in touch with Helphire they messed me about so much.

say a person was approaching a mini roundabout, turning right, indicator on. say a stupid person coming the other way in a rush didnt see the person turning right, and failed to give way. imagine the right turner seeing the failure was to stop. if the stupid person was to carry on and drive...

Hello everyone, I am Ed's wife, Helen. Just logged in here to let you know that my husband had a terrible accident in North Italy, Bolzano area on the 6th of June 2010 around 3 am. He was hit by a truck from behind and his van was found 9 hours later by locals. He is now in hospital in...

Today I broke my golden rule of not going out on two wheels when its raining, and, perhaps deservedly, reaped the reward. I was on my way to Carnaby Street for the a rideout to Buckingham Palace and on to some Mod Music gig in the east end. I got all of a mile or so up the road, when I lost...

Now on BBC4. What a fascinating and at the same time tragic story. The accident was terrible to watch.

This happened on the way home from picking up the car from the bodyshop this morning after having the roof spoiler painted and fitted. Taken the paint off and caused a dent right where the crease in the door is. :doh: :doh: Only had the car since December, so annoyed with myself. :( :wallbash:

I nearly had an accident last night. I was driving along the A127 towards Basildon from Southend direction when in front of me I could see very slow or stationary traffic in both lanes. I was in the outside lane overtaking at the time. I slowed down and turned on my hazard warning lights as...
