well thought i should post a little update, as it has been an eventful couple of days as far as my westfields and my slightly dented arm are concerned. the good news is my arm has made a good recovery and is back to 80% mobility and not suffering from a secondary infection as i had a bit of a scare and the possibility that the titanium plate might have had to be removed but a course of horse sized antibiotics capsules has seen that right. give it a another few weeks of physio and I should be almost as good as new. i have now returned to work and am on light duty's. and importantly can now drive the tin top and wipe my own with my right hand lol The not so good news is my car has been confirmed as uneconomical to repair , but i think i have been lucky as the insurance assessor who attended the westfield factory to confirm the damage was very knowledgeable and appeared to be a bit a bit of a petrol head and has agreed a realistic valuation of the car. So the big question is what do i get next, no rush as the arm will take a while and so will the cheque . when i get the finer details sorted out and get my payout i will post the spec of the car up in the members only section as i have a feeling it might well end up on a well know auction site so it might be interesting to someone for parts or as a repair project. I did inquire about the salvage value of the car with a view of braking it but there would have been little return if i were to sell parts at a price i would have been happy charging so off to trawl the classifieds for shinny new toys thanks for all your help alan

Hear hear... I too would hate to think of the poor woman striving to hide her pain until she could bear it no longer. She 'seemed' to be recovering very well in all ways. Still tragic, nevertheless.

Thin end of the wedge. Surprises me that people think that, if the majority of your drivers have these fitted, that the insurance will let them migrate to "traditional" policies. I can hear the conversation now: 21y/o: I'd like a renewal quote please. Broker: Certainly, ahh I see you've got a telematics box and a history of nice safe monitored driving, we'll only charge you a grand this year. 21y/o: How much if I don't want the box any more? Broker: Why wouldn't you want the box? Are you planning on driving dangerously? 21y/o: No, of course not, I'd just like to know how much it would cost. Broker: OK then, <tap tap tap> the equivalent dangerous driver policy will be three grand. 21y/o: Dangerous driver??? what the devil? I've shown you for the past four years that I'm a safe driver! Broker: We know that. But you don't want a box anymore. We have to assume that you might want to drive (or end up driving) dangerously as a result. 21y/o: But I'm not going to!!! Broker: In that case save yourself two grand and have the "safe driver" policy... ...and when we've all got them, say hello to road charging. ETA: "what the devil"??? I didn't write that! I never knew the swear filter filtered mildly sweary acronyms!

do you mean convering the port David? if so I've just checked the gasket and it's fine. no idea about the exhaust itself but gary was the first to have this work done and not heard he's had any problems

No.
