Nightmare mate sorry to hear that , Youre no havin much luck at the moment are you

 

Not sure on technicalitys of "fire" on TPFT policys. sure someone will know if the fire includes fire on the move.

Id be finding out what happened to make it go up in flames then maybe speak to the garage that did work with a solicitor at your side

you should get paid out as long as the assessor doesn't pick up on anything (he walked up to mine, lifted the bonnet, said "they all do that", and walked away )

get ready to fight like a bastard on the value though, unless you've got agreed.

?????????? my car has never been on fire before?? the heat gasket blow 2 weeks ago but that was it!

i put up a post saying thank you and the car seemed fine.

but then again i had only drove it 3 miles home then parked it up! it.'s only done anout 60 miles on the new head gasket

 

FFS dont talk bollocks..

fire claims pay out if you driving.. there most concerned with possible damage to third parties property, and by the sounds of it the only damage was to riceys own car. this also helps when renewing in the future as they always ask about any third party damage.

 

surpose. it's just i have been at work for the last 17 hours and am tired and just sick off nothin going my way.

2008 has been a shit year for me!

 

Same here matey we should get together for a moan some time this is my 5 week on the sick after gettin a severe throbbing in the back of my head whilst having sex !!!!!!!!!!!!! Ended up in hospital another 3 times with the same thing, Have had a ct scan, Lumbar punchture, MRI scan and am having another CT on monday morniing on a different part of skull as they still cant find anything. Went to see a hypnotherapist on wed to see if he can help aswell cause I cant be off work much longer with the way things are at the moment.
