    Default Problem with VN Calais - not driving properly.

    Hey all... obscure title, but...


    Its been a short and sweet stay as a member here.

    Thanks heaps to everyone for their help and welcoming here.


    As of last night my VN is no more... it clicked over 115,000km and then clicked into a guard rail smashing up the front and rear end and is a total loss.

    I'm okay apart from some minor whiplash, but insurance have taken the car and will be auctioned off by pickles at some stage soon...

    Bonnet is still good, so is interior, windows, DVD player etc everything else is toast and electrically... well the fuse box under the bonnet was smashed so no idea basically...

    Anyway... thanks again and good luck!

    Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them.

    no no no... I'm not getting a ford... GOD!

    With all the problems I had with the VN, and Fords are supposed to be worse... eeeek.

    No.. with any luck I will go back to where I started... planning on getting another Nissan EXA. I know I will get a lot of ****, and thats fine... of all the cars I have owned, I have liked them the best and missed that targa roof'd driving.
