[Quantum Owners] Re: Insurance claim

You could try reminding this insurance company that their client is liable for the damage to your car and that you are entitled to have that damage repaired to it's pre-accident condition, especially as the car would be difficult to replace. it may be worth a try as the law used to say that.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Insurance claim

Many years ago (about 1990-91) I owned a Spartan Roadster that was stuffed up the back end by a diesel Citroen BX who didn't see my brake lights. The Citroen was insured with Direct Line, who made me an offer as compensation for the car as a write-off. There was never any question of title to

Re: [Quantum Owners] Insurance claim

Quite often with panel damage on vehicles over 10 years old the cost of repair usually far our strips it’s value, in the eyes of insurers anyhow, I would think only option would be for them to write it off and you to keep the “salvage” and repair at your leisure, I don’t know if it would be cat

Re: [Quantum Owners] Insurance claim

I've never been involved in a claim personally, but I would push back and tell them it's not a write off.  Have you been in contact with your insurance company (who are they?) and told them your side?  If you think the damage is cosmetic to the paint work only you could try getting some quotes

Re: [Quantum Owners] Insurance claim

If they write it off they will give you the market value for it. But as the accident wasn't your fault they probably won't even ask for the car, if they do you should be able to keep it for salvage value which they will deduct from the market value they give you. Main thing is don't let them

Re: [Quantum Owners] Removing brake discs 2+2

Yes, agree with Steve, there should be a thin layer of grease between the disk and hub face to stop it rusting. I actually use moly grease rather than copper grease as copper grease seems to still allow corrosion, at least for me. Check your brake pads before you put grease on the back of

Re: [Quantum Owners] Removing brake discs 2+2

Derek, I tend to put copper grease on the inside face of the discs, as like you said they rust.  Just be careful to spread thin and even, otherwise there is potential to have the disc slightly wonky, which will make the disc feel like it's warped.  I also use copper grease on the back of the

[Quantum Owners] Removing brake discs 2+2

Dear All, For info. & questions. My front brake discs had been on the car since I built it and were getting rusty, so time for a change. Problem was I could not get the discs of the hub. Soaking in WD40 and a mallet was getting nowhere. In the end I bought a very large hydraulic puller
