Roverageous Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hi all, Apologies - I know I've got a few PMs to reply to. Been away with work, back home tonight and will catch up! skattrd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Gaffer tape - turn it into racing stripes down both sides if you’re anal about such things Or emergency vehicle stripes, that wouldn't look out of place. Kiltox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverageous Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Back at home, and been asked for some more pictures of the damage. Figured I'd post them up here too, just to show the extent of the damage properly. It's gutting how such a nice car can become worthless overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Has the pub got cctv? Or has too much water flowed under the bridge now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverageous Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Has the pub got cctv? Or has too much water flowed under the bridge now? I've tried to go down that route - they're being deliberately obstructive. Funnily enough the lady that "saw the delivery in" no longer works there, as it was "her last shift"... Hmmm... Police fobbed me off too, and refused to take details over the phone (there's a web form for this sort of thing now). I know it's the wrong attitude for something that stands me in at over £2k, but my work commitments at the moment just must take priority over mucking about with cars - hence listing it here to make it disappear!

Tetleysmooth Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 A very much 'through gritted teeth' sale then. You have my commiserations. I would love it personally. I can't sell my V70 though, for reasons I explained in the pm. If I had a few bob to spare though, it would be a different story.

Tetleysmooth Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just a question about the whistling noise.Does it happen at idle, or just when the car is on the move.Is it possible it's the slipstream whistling through the gash? (No crude comments, fank yoo). Roverageous and gadgetgricey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(No crude comments, fank yoo).It's at idle, mostly when the car is cold / warming up. Done the glove test when cold and warm and it sucks the glove in both scenarios. It disappears with a blip of throttle. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roverageous Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Exactly the same as mine.It reappears when the revs drop down again though. I'm fairly sure mine is air whistling rather than anything belty of that makes sense Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Ahh, once mine stops (after a few minutes), it doesn't come back again until the car cools down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayts450 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 This thing is haunting me - the gash, so wide. The want, so deep. Eddie Honda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 It's gutting how such a nice car can become worthless overnight Have you taken it to a body shop? It looks pretty nasty and is unusual damage but it might not be that difficult for a pro to fix, especially if the part of the panel that is damaged is flat (see photo posted by Al Bundy above).
