Damn, had my first accident last night....

[Rmyers]

Thank god i wasn't in Nwolb, but my daily is a little banged up . I was in the wrong, was about 10.00pm in a dark residential area, entering a round about i didn't take notice of a camry that had already entered. I broke but due to the slippery roads she couldn't stop in time and had a low speed collision into the camry rear quarter panel. Didn't cause major damage, but his rear quarter was dinged as well as his rear bumper.

Here's a pic of my damage, needs new headlight, bumper, quarter panel and bonnet, but ATM will just replace headlght and bumper while the bonnet and quarter can be bent back a little.





Oh well, shit happens....

Damn that sucks Steve!

At least it looks like an easy-ish fix for yours. Insured?

damn that sucks....
headlight and indicator you can have if you want it

[Frost]

Just tech screw the front bar back on, thats what i did when I had an accident once.

Ouchies I hope the guy in the camry wasn't a kent about it, and gets you some reasonable quotes for repair...

As you say though, thank FK you weren't driving NWOLB!!

[oneredED]

Well, NWOLB is safe... PHEW! Still sucks to have an accident though, hope it doesn't sting you too much

[Damo]

That's no good. Lucky it wasn't the EA. Do you drive the EA much ?

[UNEZED]

I seen this thread and thought NWOLB was damaged but still not good 2 see an accident

[Rmyers]

I came back from overseas and she wouldn't start. I had a quick look and then closed the bonnet for a while. I took some time to tidy her up, fix the front bar, raise the front a bit etc. Once that was done we had another look at why she wouldn't start. Found no spark, so we replaced coil pack but that didn't do anything, then played around with the relay board and found one was rooted. Replaced that and she fired up!

Funny thing, my main problem now is that she is stuck on axel stands as i dont have a jack low enough to set the front back down . I had a scissor jack somewere but cant find it, gunna haveto pinch one from someone

Had a quick look today and came to the same conclusion. Will just screw the bumper back in place, not fussed at what the daily looks like.

[galapogos01]

if you screw from the inside you should be able to attach it to the mounts without seeing any screws from the outside. i did that on my EA's rear bar (dont ever reverse onto ramps)

[EFFalcon]

Steve, just put some stuff under the wheels of the EA so it sits up higher, then drive it off whats under the wheels

Hey mate, I've got an EA guard and headlight you can have for free if you want them.

[Rmyers]

Were abouts are you located?

Were abouts are you located?

I'm in Cheltenham, but I could take them to work in Reservoir if that's closer.

[Commando]

As others mentioned, it's good to hear that NWOLB is safe & sound. Poor daily though

[Bipolar]

^^What Commando said. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw who started the thread.

[LTDHO]

Mate just replace lights and leave it....
