dieselVRS

Thank you for your service🙂 I do alot of Airsoft and have quite the armoury tried joining the army after school as I wanted to be a combat engineer but they wouldn't accept me as I had asthma even tho I had never had an attack an hadn't used inhalers in years. Yeah I find it hard to open up always have. My dad died when I was 19 and I was the one that found him. Bottled it up which led to my life spiraling out of control losing jobs the only girl I've ever truly loved(hope you all get what I mean) addiction to Valium and other things losing my house family and everything else. Fought so hard over the years to get it all back and I did and am proud of that however addiction reared its ugly head again as obv I was put on mega strong painkillers (oxycodone instant 15mg every hour as needed and 20mg 12 hour ones twice a day). Ended up snorting the instant release ones for about a week. One day I came to my senses and realised I was developing a problem so went to the drs and I came off the instant ones(my Dr knows all about me and has helped me through alot) still on the 12 hour ones as I still have pain in my knee but I've started to reduce them to and have gave them to my mum to hand out as I can't trust myself. I quite often call Samaritans when I need to vent or talk as I can't with family as they don't understand me never have only just got how I work and tht I can't help certain things I do having quite bad ADHD. I've also started taking my "legal speed" as I call them🤣 (methylphenidate basically speed) everyday where I was just taking when I remembered or felt I could do with the benefits but taking over a period of time seems to have settled alot of my traits of being "different". I am a time served mechanic and a good one at tht but I've never fitted in with people who worked in the garages I did which then led to confrontations and me having lunch and breaks by myself as I found it was easier on everyone and tht then eventually led to the sack. For the past 5 or 6 years I've followed in my family's footsteps and am a fisherman (7 or 8th generation) and I for the first time I feel as tho I fit in and feel at peace it's where my heart lies and all fisherman have a screw or two loose. Again sorry for putting this on you all and for maybe being of topic. Any questions about my now heinz (made into bin tins) Octavia Vrs diesel fire away🙂 hope everyone is good an thanks for showing me some time.

Yeah am finding it beneficial to share what's happened how it's affected me mentally physically and financially. I've been a member for a few years but only really used this for info but everyone seems supportive and willing to help. Obviously I've not shared everything with you all as some things I don't want to share on an open online forum everyone can see but what I have has helped.

I will have another Octavia Vrs. Might get the petrol this time tho. Don't know but it will be a MK2 as there the best looking in my eyes

Indeed it was. Imagine the claim to be over 100k or there abouts. My car the other car plus his injury claim. Waiting to hear back from police about what is happening possibly careless ban fine or dangerous driving which in Scotland is a ban resit test unlimited fine and jail(highly unlikely). Or might even be dropped don't know in limbo. Can still drive just now although no confidence. My friend asked if I wanted a shot of his car I was eager jamp in the driver's seat then I froze flashed back to what I can remember happened and got out. The whole experience is made me a better person tho. Staying at my mum's the now for help and support. Been good as she's never fully understood me(ADHD) thought I was rude compulsive and quick to temper (I do have a serious temper I snap see red and no one is calming me down till I do so myself worst thing anyone can do is tell me to) not proud of that at all but it's who I am. Since started taking my ADHD meds everyday it helps me focus level headed calm not as compulsive. Mum's finally got me and agrees with me taking them now as before she said it would change me make me like a zombie. Its like having 2 of me unmedicated and medicated. I had 14 years NCB protected so will still have them. First crash never been in bother for driving with the police never been charged for driving had plenty other charges just not for driving. Again sorry about the length of the post I feel it's good to get all this out. Thanks guys

Airbag wouldn't of saved my leg would of caused more pain as the pedal box came up through the floor and pinned me against the steering wheel. There's alot of variables to why airbags deploy and don't deploy hit location speed if you had seatbelt on etc. I know 100% they where working this is what I can't work out dude🤷 only thing I can think of is a component wether a wire or sensor was compromised. Insurance has paid out for my car and the other guys claim. Easy over 100k 😔 my insurance company wanted 5k to insure a Octavia Vrs again when it was £400. 1.0 here I come🤣

Aye got a femoral rod and screws in it. Getting there now femur is healed after only 3 months knee is giving me jip still may need further surgery on it find out in November. Airbags work with accelerometers which don't pick up on a car rolling and depends on where there placed also. Should of funny as thts what alot of people said to me go buy a ticket. Defo on my last life now tho changed my whole outlook on life.

Hi guys hope everyone is good. I had a serious car accident in July this year. Had to be cut out after I hit another car on the front right hand side(doing about 55mph 60mph) car then rolled 3 times pedal box came up through the floor and shattered my femur against the steering wheel also tore the pcl of the back of my knee. Took fire brigade 3 hours to cut me out but the car she saved my life(gutted it's gone tho 😔 as was 240bhp and 450nm did shift with minimal smoke). Was a cat a write off. Anyway to the question I want to ask. My airbags didn't go off? No warning light was on the board no codes as had my launch x431(mechanic) on it a couple of days before as had an engine management light on for an oxygen sensor also all the airbags where there. Is it because the impact wasn't great enough when I hit the car as I litterly just clipped it an no more which caused my car to turn then gripped and flipped down the road(airbags will more often than not not deploy open roll over weird I know). I understand how airbags work the sensors and everything to do with them just can't figure out why they didn't deploy. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys (sorry about the novel I wrote but it was just to give all info)

Good news guys fixed the problem. One of my boost hoses wasn't seated properly on the intercooler. Clipped it in again and so far no limp home or fault codes.

One of my friends mapped it. He knows what he's doing before anything is said😂 thought ad get tht in there. It had overboost underboost Cant remember the actual code but I noticed a boost hose had slip so tightened it back up and it's boosting good now.. is it worth getting a car wrapped?

Awesome to drive lowered 60 mm on coilovers as well stiffer ATB Polly bushed. Now to start on the exterior get the wheels refurbished and the rusty bits touched up then tempted to wrap it.. don't know

Hi folks hope your all good💪 drive a Vrs diesel dpf delete cat back intercooler hard boost pipes 240 bhp 470ftlb torque. It will boost fantastic then I can be just pottering along go to use the accelerator and no boost limp home mode. Turn off and back on and it boosts again. Never goes off under boost just off boost. Annoying 🙃🙃 any suggestions?
