Ilukey's damaged MG4 XPower

@Everest pips @Bricktop X PWR .

Absolute insanity!

Bloody "TEEVES"

It is legalised daylight robbery.

They have no choice but to inflate the cost due to the lack of money being made servicing EV's (IMO)

Allowance method research implies that you are paying for their training on how to do the job. What an absolute cheek.

And what's the Grille badge?

It's funny they haven't put: Spark plugs, Engine Oil and Filter. I know you're not paying but still ridiculous!

You're still paying, just somewhat indirectly in the form of higher premiums.

Absolute insanity!

... I based my guesstimate on having a bumper repainted with special expensive flexible paint on a 1980's Sierra and added a bit for inflation and robbery.

At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask

The higher premium was the biggest initial concern about going down the insurance route but the splitter had started to droop which put it past a touch-up job.

Got one independent quote and they said they'd do everything (minus the recalibration, which would need paid for elsewhere) for £1200 (top marks for @Everest)

From that point on it was crossed fingers and insurance!

 

[Everest]

for £1200 (top marks for @Everest)

thanks... but did you mean @Bricktop X PWR for the £1200 guess?

It's cos you won overall.
I defer to your greatness. xxx

I was going to say circa 2k, but it just looked ridiculous so went lower.

Look like you've won an overall?

 

[Everest]

Thanks, but I'll let you keep that one... it says "large" on it

Was an honest mistake (although sub conscious must have wanted to deny any more bragging opps!)

Colleague bought a brand new BMW 1 series hybrid a month ago. Two weeks later he saw and dashcam recorded a bloke scratch his lower door. Deep into the paint but not creased. Hands held up and details sorted, dashcam footage made claim undeniable and liability immediately accepted by 3rd party insurers.
Quite rightly he’s insisted it’s going to BMW for repair. Apparently it’s getting a new door .
The scratch was about 3 inches, metallic blue paint. That’s going to cost more than a decent holiday!
Back to topic, I think dashcam is a must. Especially as I have a monumental excess…..

 

[Mickandsej]

on that point, where would I be able to power a dashcam from?

 

[siteguru]

Look in the Accessories board ... there's one or more threads there about dashcams. You can either power it from the 12V socket between the front USB sockets, or from a specific fuse in the fuse box inside the cabin. (Hence why I suggest finding that thread ... all the details are laid out).

PS - I've responded on the basis of an MG4 since this was posted in an MG4 thread in an MG4 board, even though your forum profile still says MG5 SE LR.
