This morning, an artic changed lanes and clipped the rear RHS pushing me into the barrier and made a big dent in the driver's door then proceeded to push me a few hundred yards as the driver said he thought he had a puncture so didn't stop right away.     Anyone got a replacement? ________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

I've loads of new and used parts like air-con pipes, wheels, sill covers, mirrors, hockry strips, plus probably the only brand new factory sealed gearbox in the world!The Astor Just needs a new seat and maybe the air-con fixing. Looks like the sill and door surround is okay so a cheap scrap door would get it useable. Just had a complete new exhaust, clutch, radiator, condenser, and MOT. Has a very rare Clarion 12 disk changer that uses two of the 6 disc magazines and has done 280,000 miles. ________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

Wow, glad your ok bud. What a shame mate - especially seeing how much you've recently spent on parts but at least you can take those parts off and maybe use on another car or sell on. Is this the start of a project thread then for the astor?  ________________________________________ Bianca 306 Rallye.Mondeo Titanium X. |
