Have e-mailed Rimmers for a quote on the following parts:<br>
<br>
REAR CENTRE BUMPER: XKC1680 (my one has a nasty scrape where the transit's tow hitch went into it!) Corners thankfully look OK, although the left hand one and the centre have moved a little<br>
<br>
<br>
CORNER BUMPER WASHER (x2 ...

don't worry David, GDV will be fixed...just a case of when!!<br>
<br>
Right, called my insurance company this morning. They have asked how much the car is worth, I said £1200. They have now asked me to get one quote to repair it. <br>
<br>
I have got a very good friend who restores Alfas for a ...

No chance of me ever accepting a knock for knock. It is an open and shut case, I was stationary, he hit me from behind.<br>
<br>
So which insurance company should I approach? The hire company that owns the van or the company which the driver works for?<br>

Thanks everyone for the messages of support and advice. I have found some adverts for Dolomite 1500HL cars, all priced around £750 to £1500; but if anyone else knows of cars advertised for higher, please pass them on!<br>
<br>
I would obviously like my car to be worth as much as possible ...

Thanks Guys. Rest assured any money received will be put back into the car. It had been off the road for four years and as I missed it, I wanted to use it for the next two years before stripping the body down again, even though it is quite good at the mo.<br>

The rear light cluster took the ...

Thanks for the advice Dave. Were you the third party? How much were they offering for a Toledo as a write off?<br>
<br>
I intend to use people in the motor trade who know for estimates. However, to be honest factoring in a new rear light panel and bootlid plus fitting and painting, it wouldn’t ...

Here she was pre-accident so wold be a shame not to repair her...<br>

will price up the bits from Rimmers, including a new lamp. However I think labour is the killer here and may result in the old girl being written off.<br>
<br>
However, apart from the number plate lights being replaced (they were smashed to bits in the impact) the car is 100% usable. Nonetheless, if ...

Oh dear!! While sitting at a roundabout, my innocent Dolomite was taken up the rear by a Ford Transit, jolting us down the road. The impact felt quite significant, when it happened as it really gave us one heck of a jolt! Naturally the driver was Lithuanian and couldn’t speak any English so the ...

did it make much difference to the standard system at all??

Hey Bruce!<br>
Thanks, that does help but sadly I cannot afford specially made systems yet...was hoping for bolt on alternatives.<br>
<br>
My own thinkings is that the standard 1500/1850 back 'box is very restrictive as it runs across the axle and comes out the right hand side. Was thinking of an ...

After finally getting the old girl back on the road after four years of lying dormant (the car, not me) the rusty exhaust has started blowing after the first 1,000 miles.<br>
<br>
Following groveling underneath, there is a split on the back box where the tailpipe joins the silencer.<br>
<br>
As my ...

I know this year. Was in beautiful condition a few years ago, then some d**k got hold of it and make it look like it had been run over by a moped.

The Toledo register rep (i.e. me!) has a BX TD estate as his everyday car, proving I'm not quite so sad afterall. Oh sh*t.......

you still got your Toledo toledoman? I am looking forward to teh second installment of your Toledo stories for the mag!<br>
<br>
I think the guy who bought my TC got a Toyota sportscar. Shame he's getting rid, but I suppose we all have limits!!!
