    well this sucks

    Over the moon indeed. Yeah dealer fitted the chrome. I was not sure if the chrome pack included the windows ect, they claim it didn't. I actually think once the windows are tinted I will like not having chrome there

    well this sucks

    That makes me happy I get to keep the rego!! Well after 3 and a half months of driving a shitty navara I have my new baby!! Now just to keep dickheads from crashing in to it!!! Picked the big girl up today. Tint on Monday and opticoat as soon as I can book him in. It has the red centre cap on it...

    well this sucks

    first off sorry for bringing up my old thread. I have a question for anyone that has had a write off before. The salvagers could not cancel my rego since I had personalised plates and I had taken them off. So the insurance company told me I had to do it. So I get my refund from d.o,t The...

    45000 service

    Couple slight issues with this. if you do your servicing your self you will not meet warranty criteria. Also, yes its very easy to change the oil, but what you are missing out on is a full inspection on the car. That is what takes the time to do properly. A good tech will inspect your car and...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    mine was ordered on the 24 of april, luckily they had one at stage 30 I believe so I jumped the cue, maybe because it was an insurance replacement they moved me up the list (Toowoomba holden not holden aus)

    SSVR Sportwagon MY17

    Even worse in the sedan. There is nothing to secure either of the front or rear straps to. Its a shame as they are brilliant idea , if only they were secured. I am not stoked on the quality though. I am on my second one under warranty. The buttons actually come apart if your not super gentle...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    A question to the guys with the my17's. The tpms is it just the flat tyre picture or is it a more 'animated' set up?

    Servicing with Holden dealer or reputable local mechanic.

    Wow this dealer sounds first class!!! They will get torn a new one by holden and possibly trigger and audit. If they are found to be doing this on a lot of cars they are screwed!! I remember a warranty part audit ford did on us at the dealership i worked at cost them about 200k

    Servicing with Holden dealer or reputable local mechanic.

    Does not always. We will match it if requested. (No choice if it's a fleet car. They will simply not approve the job!!) It actually really hurts us to do so but in this day and age we have to. The dealerships want us gone. What happens once we have all disappeared because the dealerships are...

    Servicing with Holden dealer or reputable local mechanic.

    I don't agree with your last paragraph. I run a busy inner city workshop in Brisbane. We have a pretty varied range of cars coming thru the door. Every vehicle is checked on a database and the correct oil only is used. We have shelving with about 20 different 20 l containers meeting different...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    vl executive, thats what i believed to be the case as well about the no cost option, but does not seem to be the case. It will cost my insurance company 1000 bucks extra on the full retail price to get the chrome on my replacement car

    well this sucks

    just waiting on finance company to give final go ahead so they can make the order on the new car! Hope they hurry up so I can get the damn thing ordered

    anti black out kit my17

    i don't think you can do a swap and reuse can you. I thought you had to break it to get it off????

    anti black out kit my17

    I could search the my17 thread but there are a lot of pages there. Does anyone know if it is still a no cost option to get the chrome trims instead of the black trims on the my17 redlines. If so does anyone know the option codes?

    well this sucks

    yeah they were probably strong words lol. But I actually don't have hire car option on my insurance. This car is being paid for by his insurance company. the company that supplied it are called compass cars and only supply cars to not at fault drivers. I will have my navara back after Easter...

    well this sucks

    if it happened then I might have to look at a kia stinger:D:D:D (or shoot myself in the face) or accept the repair job and be happy. but yeah pretty stoaked about the whole my17 thing. First quotes I have seen provided for the insurance company are 66k with the 5 year wty. 10k more than I paid!!!
  20. T

    well this sucks

    If i wanted to be a bastard i would keep the hire car the other guys insurance is paying for but alas i am not that mean. I have a lovely nissan navara d22 i kept for towing purposes so i will unfortunately get back in to it for a coupe months

    well this sucks

    Well thank you all for the kind words and support. I can tell you my car has officially been written off. Quotes for the new one are being done up at this stage. Because i want factory fitted hf20 wheels i am being told it could be august or September before i see the car but i would rater that...
  22. T

    well this sucks

    i do have the advantage of being the company that would do the mechanical work(rear subframe,exhaust,wheel alignment) so I will bring it to my workshop tomorrow and go over it in my workshop and just pray find something there. I would love to do that but siply don't have 6k difference to pay it
  23. T

    well this sucks

    Bit of an update So the quote has been done and with some back and forth between me and the initial assessor then his boss I am 6 k short of a write off. Repairs coming in at 24,000 salvage value 28,000 giving a total of 52,000. They say market value is 58,000 I am still fighting tooth and nail...

    well this sucks

    its the 3rd pic that makes me most unhappy. Cutting and welding in a new panel :(

    well this sucks

    yeah mate 3 years new for old. maybe a little glad this is happening now not next year!! My contract when I got it also had the 5 years warranty as well as the years comprehensive insurance. Wonder what happens there?
  26. T

    well this sucks

    mine.
  27. T

    well this sucks

    Kinda. The assessor came before it was quoted. He pretty much said no chance of write off I don't care how new it is. So now the quote has come in at 20k before the quarter gets pulled off. My hope is he thinks the salvage value may be sufficient with that quote to write off. What does anyone...
  28. T

    well this sucks

    So had a look at the car today. It has creased the left hand rear in 2 places. The panel beater said they will have to cut out that section and weld in a new part. I pretty much said no chance is my car getting a cut and shut. So he said he will quote on whole side replacement and likely bend in...

    well this sucks

    laying on the ground looking up. Its the reo behind the bumper. the bottom right I believe is the start of the spare wheel well. Whoa did this thread escalate lol. Don't know what's happening yet, it got delivered to the panel shop this arvo and they will check it out tomorrow.
  31. T

    well this sucks

    Yeah was pretty hard to stay calm!!! What can you do though, in the end I am not injured just have to deal with it. I agree I don think I have much chance of a write off :(
  32. T

    well this sucks

    sitting at the lights bloke behind me "accidentally put foot on clutch instead of brake" ie was on the phone. Slammed in to me at full speed pushing me in to the car in front as well. Hoping it has done serious damage underneath and get a write off.

    well this sucks

    Speed Cameras in POI (no alert)

    Did anyone get their map update for free? my car was delivered 10/12/16 and has 5,000km. All dealers said no you have to pay. I contacted customer service and they have said they will cover the cost and given me a reference number to give to any dealer. Pretty happy with that!!

    cargo organiser

    from the organiser itself. There is nothing in the sedans. The wagon have hooks built in to the floor I believe but the sedan has nothing. Vey strange they would give you nothing to secure it, especially when they used to list them but now don't.

    cargo organiser

    That's the one bobothemonkey. I managed to get some info from holden. There are no clips. Apparently they were deleted from the prt number a while ago so now its pretty much secure it however you can!!!
