Steve GT Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 what a shitter mate its fucking ridiculous whats going onyou look after a car take pride in it and then some thieving scum takes all that away from youwith the insurance mate you should get full payout for what you insured it formy mate had a VTR and it got stolen it was only worth bout 500 quid cause he killed the engine practically but some one stole it binned it then burned it out.Few weeks later he got a cheque for 2 grand so there normally quite goodim sorry to hear what happened and i hope you find your car matekeep us informed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Absolutely gutted for you mate. I'd cry if someone nicked mine hence the massive amount of security on it at night especially. Im in the Manchester area so i'll keep an eye out for it.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedFreak Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Sorry to hear whats happened mate! I hate this sort of thing, it just seems such a pointless thing to do.If the police say it was spotted, then why wasn't it followed? Hopefully it will turn up, but if it doesn't lets hope you get a decent amount from your insurance company for it. They should give you the amount you insured it for.

sk8chris Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Any luck yet mate been a few days since u posted itno not heard anything else, i think its gone to be honest its probably in a garage somewhere waiting to be repainted or stripped, already been given the best chance to get the car back when it turned up right in front of a police car and showed up stolen but for some crazy reason chose not to chase it, i mean wtf?been onto insurance to find out that i'm losing my 3 years no claims so it doesn't look like ill be back on the ep scene anytime soon, 21 with no no claims and now a claim against my name i dont think ill be able to afford insurance and thats even if i get the money to buy another.

228whp ep91 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 id make a case against the police if i was you as this is clearly neglegance,u never no u might get some cash to fund a new ep,were all mods declared on insurance and how much did they value it when you took the policy out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 The police in Manchester are absolute pricks!!!!!!!! They did this sort of this when my Micra got nicked years ago. They found it and i told them to wait with it, as it was in the middle of Salford and it took me less than ten minutes to get there as i was already nearby. They didn't wait and it was gone when i got there. It was torched that night and i wasn't told until 3 days later. Tossers!!!Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sk8chris Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 well got the phone call from the police today, the cars been found and taken to a garage for forensics i have no idea what condition its in but the fact they haven't caught anybody they just seem to have found it seems like a very bad sign and I'm preparing myself for the worst when i get the call to go see it.

Starletraje Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 if they never chased it then i'd guess they recognised the driver... bigger fish and all that crapnothing i can say will make you feel any better but i hope its not in too bad a condition mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sk8chris Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 ok i have some good news bad news and some pretty terrifying news.overall the body is as it was other than a big scuff on the rear wheel arch where something has been hit and the door hasn't been smashed to get in there has been a gap made where the lock has been released but ok i guess, now the bad news the inside has been completely destroyed the dials, steering column and bottom half of the dashboard have been smashed to pieces and the steering column has been wrecked and the ignition barrel smashed off and the wiring is fucked along with the whole thing stinking of smoke, engine wise the car is idling quite erratically jumping from 750- 1400rpm i expect this is because it has been thrashed for well over 200 miles.but now the last thing which is terrifying, so the police had been dusting the car for prints and finished and i got the call to come see the car got to the garage and started to look around only too find and how the police must this i have no idea there was a 18 inch machete under the passenger seat i hate to think what might have happened had i noticed the car mid break in, i think this is a lesson for all of us too if we ever see this happening to our cars just think for a second before we go running out to our cars.so just want to thanks everyone who commented on the thread and kept an eye out for the car.and if anyone has any of these parts for sale just let me know.EP82 dial surroundsteering wheel columndriver side footwell part of dashboard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sk8chris Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Wicked u got it back mate! it could of been worse, so hopefully u will have it back on road soon! And an alarm!... do u know where it was found??it was found in whally range, don't know the are myself but not nice apparently, dunno where it had been though it had an extra 200 miles on the clock and its not been driven easy for them which i think is why the engines playing up hopefully nothing serious.(anyone has any ideas why the engine jumps through the revs at idle would be helpful)alarm is on the way but its being garaged up for now while repairs are done and its back to a 1.4 escort for me...what fun i'll have in that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Sounds like it's misfiring. How does it drive? A new set of spark plugs and a good service should see you right. Don't forget if there is damaged wiring then it could be shorting out on something.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
