| The same story like last year. I just stoped on red traffic light and after 5 sec got masive hit to the boot Car condition the same like last time but my neck filing worst ![]() ![]() This is already third accident for last two years (first one was very light but the same hit to the boot) and I start thinking that I have to move to big 4X4 because my Octavia working as magnet (surprisingly because lights on my Octavia switched on permanently) bu unfortunately Skoda do not producing 4x4 ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Shahoff; 19-05-2007 at 19:29. |

| Ouch, sorry to hear about that, you ain't having much luck here. Make sure theres no expense spared in the repairs, or the neck could get worse ...Eircom (robbing B@stards).

| Soory to hear that. I sow your car when in better condition a couple of times (LV reg). Looks to me that only the rear bumper is damaged apart from your neck. |

| Quck question: I pushed brake pedal when this happens, is it any possibility that something wrong happens with brakes/axels/shock-absorbers ? ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Shahoff; 20-05-2007 at 15:22. |

| That looks like it could end up being expensive .....for the other drivers insurance, make sure you get it done at a skoda approved bodyshop and if you aren't happy with it when it's dne ...tell them so....... .all the best |

| Its difficult to say how much thats going to cost to fix, the bumper looks like its hiding all the damage to the rear panel and who knows what else.

| Ouch! Oh dear it was a Mayo reg van too Judging by the ripples on the rear pillar, it looks like the chassis could have crumpled. Best get a good garage to look at it. Bad luck Shahoff.

| Wont Eircom pay out, after all it was there van that run into the back of you. You shouldnt be out of pocket for any € or $ for that matter, no matter where your car is registered be it Latvia or Eire.

| I rang to insurance company again and they told me that Phoenix motors contacted and proof new figures. But when I rang garage they was really surprised about this and told me that NOBODY contacted them about my car. What to do? Solicitor? Or just give to insurance one more chance? |

| Not being smart, but did they contact the right Phoenix motors? Hope things get sorted. Damage looks costly to fix. Regards David
