E30 Zone

I really dont know wether or not to pull the plug on this company im using, and try and go it alone. I mean they arent helping me at all, so far minimal communication with them although its quite a conplex case, no car to drive, and an insulting £600 valuation. What do i do?!!! What have you signed...

Make sure you have insurance to cover you while you are on the ring.

Try to avoid hitting the barriers or crashing as the bill can be quite large.

What has this got to do with his car?

I would be seriously interested in your car mate.
Thing is as said above it needs time and money spent on it.

If you were willing to sell for around £800 to £1000 perhaps we could talk.

Also, spoke to my car insurance today, they're talking to the underwriter because the car didn't have an MOT at the time of the fire. Is anyone an insurance expert on here? There was one guy but i cant remember his name. Can anyone help? Car was booled in for its MOT the very next day, and i have p...

Not sure i like the gold wheels to be honest but then it can be turned back to silver easily.

Whats going on with all the stickers over it though,they look awful.

If it was baked in an oven i reckon it will be cured enough when you get it but im ging back to the days when we used 2k paint. Give it a few days i suppose to be safe. I would give the paint a good coat of polish/wax to seal the paint etc. In terms of waxoyl/wax protection. if it was mine i would w...

Im a bit stuck as I am sentimentally attached to my E30 of 12 years and am trying to decide whether to pay to have the body work sorted or to pay someone to put the good bits on another (better car), also going to cost allot. If I could find a good mint one I could sell mine and have that but its n...

Yes at garage A it will cost £400. At garage B it will cost £850. At garage c it will cost £2500. Thats not supposed to sound funny in any way. What i am saying is costs can vary so much.It depends on the garage labour costs and materials they use plus how good a job they will do. As you say,you kno...

You learn something everyday and i use to own one.
Thanks.

Even with an agreed valuation and certificate, your not guaranteed to receive the full amount without proof are you Lee? This.You still need reports and proof its worth what you agree. Dont you need this to get the agreed value to begin with? It depends on if it is a true agreed value one.When i wa...

on my old is, and a common fault with e30s, is the hand break shoes in the rear drums, its held in via a pin in the backing plates, the hole rusts through and the pin comes out and the break shoes come loose, and make a funny noise I believe that's the issue yeah...something's come loose in the o/s...

If a car has been a previous cat C or D it will usually reduce the value by about 1/3 on a regular policy. If you are going for an agreed value policy, then you are agreeing a valuation with them at the outset (although you need to mention the Cat C bit). Once they are agreed on a valuation with yo...

I've just bought a zetec focus and the cam belt interval is 10yrs / 100,000!!!!!!!!!

I have never trusted this and have heard stories about the plastic pulley breaking first.

Front fogs are not a MOT testable item , so any colour you want. Why would you want people to think you/your turd was French :? This is true.They do not test front fogs. If you fitted them they should be legal to use on the road as you can have whote or yellow fog lights showing but no other colours.

The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989

7. Colour- White or yellow

So i would say yes legal.

You need to fix that arch.

So has he given up on the dealer fixing it and paying for it?

There are a few things here that concern me. 1) You have offered to pay towards the repair.Why confuse the matter? 2) You have now gone ahead with a repair and not allowed the dealer to fix it. 3) All letters have been via text or email. I know you have emailed him but in my eyes you should have sen...

CRIKEY! I have not heard so much rubbish from people who have no idea for a long time. This happened to me, a woman at work reversed into the drivers door of my e30. It is a TOTALLY different ball game from claiming off your own insurer. The ball is in your park so to say as they have to rectify th...

it would be a new wing rather than repair, and door if you can get one,although your door ideally needs to be kept as it will be red/original color underneath and inside etc, but then that will mean pulling it out, lots of filler etc, so youd want to use someone good, or jackpot would be to find an...

Sadly i am going to say its a write off and will probably be a cat d write off. The insurance company will normally repair a car if it costs less than a certain percentage of their book value. In this case it needs a new door or door skin,whichever is cheaper,possibily a new wing,a new alloy,new sid...

I have it but data protection laws mean i can not give it out....sorry

You need to look at the piece of the V5 you tore off and kept with his details on it.
You know he little slip that you then send of to the dvla yourself.

I do have a funny feeling you did not do this though

hi all i purchased the block and gearbox for 200 and 100 for rad and hoses alt, i had to buy a ecu and power steering pump and other bits from else were its all mounted up so its not cheap!!!!!!!!!! either way i want my money back, as i purchased in good will from a zoner, ive even told rob to come...

I dont know how these people work and how the scam works, but it would be great to be able to give them your paypal and get them to send the money as a gift as surely if they did send it then they cant do anything after... But I assume there just after your details They pay using a stolen,hacked pa...

I was tboned in the 318is.The only reason i am here today is becauuse the other car mainly hit the bulk head area and not the door area reducing my injuries greatly.
Old cars are normally not as safe as newer cars.

To be honest i use to have one and hardly used it.The only time it got used was if i had to undoe something that was badly seized. Then there was the hassle of getting it all out and up and running.Unless you are working on cars all the time and doing a lot of stuff you have to ask yourself is it wo...

The cost of a roof repair is only really worth while if you have quite a rare car anything else it would make more sence just to go out and buy a good one in the first place I think people will regret this attitude in the future, the more people who are prepared to do some actual work to keep one o...

I think its the 325 boys that need all the help they can get. After all we know the 318is is just as fast as a 325i running on 3 cylinders How bad is the roof to need a reskin, is it a sunroof model, are you going to keep the sunroof if yes? To be honest i do not know yet as i am hoping to go and l...

Its alot of work to replace a roof correctly. Ratch had a roof skin, he might still have it as i don't think he needed it in the end? I think you'd be lucky to get change out of 2 bags i think it was royalratch that i was thinking of with the blue 318is that had the roof replaced. I know its going ...
