  1. Standard Octy vRS alloy width. Are they 7, 7.5 or other?
  2. Apologies if this has been asked before, i couldn't find any previous posts? The CD changer appears to be screwed or mounted to the side of the boot wall, with no visable fixings. Someone must know how to remove it without brut force (which i am close to doing)
  3. Yes please DO NOT ask me for parts, dont want this being locked again. Cat C i believe The damage was estimated at more than the cars worth and is structural due to the B pillar moving. The garage where it was assessed is actually only 2 mins from where i live, went there earlier and removed the tax disc to claim a refund. Damage is to drivers side doors, wing and Bpillar, and maybe some parts behind the front wheel as the wheel is rubbing on the arch/mudflap. The roof and bonnet are not kinked or damaged at all, all the damage was low down at the level with strips on the doors. I am gonna start another thread soon asking how much parts might be worth, interior alloys etc etc...but this is only to get an idea of prices, NOT to sell on here...yet, until the Freedom member upgrade is done
  4. I have now agreed an offer for the car, and I also get to keep the car, so i'll be breaking it and selling parts on here in a few weeks time, once i've signed up to become a FREEDOM member, and the car is returned to me. Yay all is going well again
  5. Oh the joys of the insurance world, now they are saying it isbeyond economical repair, and have offered me more than what i was going to sell it for. Should I take their first offer or should i be cheeky and ask for a little more?
  6. Thats all fine by me, i'm an honest bloke, honest!!
  7. Thats all good news then, so i can still sell at the price originally wanted.
  8. So when it comes back all fixed will it have any Cat C or Cat D history on it when i go and sell it. Surely that will affect its value?
  9. The assessor has been round this morning, and told me that due to its age and value, the car will be repaired, not written off. Can I refuse to have the car back on the grounds that I dont want my baby travelling in a damage repaired car, and that i wont get the £4800 I wanted to sell it for. Do I have a case? I really dont want the car back now...
  10. I paid €124 for an 8 lap ticket this easter
  11. 38 laps!! I only got in 10 in 2 days. Wasnt as busy as previous Easters was it?
  12. I think there is only 1 full weekend available in Sept, that being the first weekend of the month. All the other weekends are half days or none at all
  13. Hi all Further to an earlier thread in the Octavia section, http://www.briskoda.net/forums/octavia/car-written-off-advice-needed/77424/ ,now locked, please note that I am NOT selling anything in this thread, and please do not make any offers on parts. My 2001 Octy vRS has been written off. They are coming on Monday to collect it/assess it. Once i get my agreed price for it, a mate of mine wants to buy it off the insurance company, and use the engine for an up and coming project. How does this work? Once the car is in the possession of the insurance company and I have my money, do i have the optoion to buy it off them or can anyone else buy it off them before they pass it on to a breakers? My mate wants the engine and associated parts, but a vRS at our local breakers recently proved to expensive. Any advice greatly received
