Your never going to believe this but my Nova pissed me off last week !!!!.
Well the engine did.
Rebuilt and it just will not fire up and I'm at my wit's end.
Spark at every plug, fuel, timing set, all more times checked. still will not start even with help start spray.

Have you done a compression test?

Having the company car serviced and then to have my boss have a go at me for selecting a place that's too expensive.
Tight imbecile clearly has no passion for cars and only looks at the price, not at the quality of workmanship.
Like having your car serviced by idiots and suffer expensive repairs as a result is a good idea.

Paying lots of money is not a guarantee that they will do a good job (lesson I have learned).

True fact. I have been screwed over more than I'd like to remember. Prefer to do all the work myself but seeing as my employer pays, I figured I'd take the job to a reputable place.

Last night I entered a roundabout at a relaxed pace (because wife and 3 year old granddaughter in the back seat) and out of nowhere came a Suzuki Wagon R+ around the roundabout. The dinky toy shopping trolley was obscured by the A-pillar and so I smashed into his rear passenger door. My fault. Crap.







My car is a company car (see post above about maintenance) so I called my boss this morning. His reply "that's gonna cost you as it's only got third party insurance". WTF??? An uneducated guess is I'm looking at £2k worth of damage repairs. Needless to say I'm gutted beyond belief and this situation won't end here.

At least I'm glad it was a car instead of a motorbike - then things would have looked seriously grim.

What company do you work for? I seriously doubt a car like that is only insured 3rd party, what if it was stolen? Or hit by an uninsured driver? Seems crazy to me.
Don't suppose you have another fully comp policy you could claim from? That's if you have the right to drive other cars.

Nick, in Holland any driver is allowed to drive any car as long as the owner has given permission and the driver has a valid drivers licence. This permission doesn't have the be in writing.
I can't see how I could claim from another insurance as the insurance policy is linked to the car, we don't have policies linked to drivers like in the UK.
As far as uninsured drivers are concerned: we have a thing called "waarborgfonds" which covers motorists should they come across an uninsured driver. Certain conditions apply but I've dealt with a driver who slammed into me (and drive off) once and got covered.
Suffice to say that tomorrow I'll be having an interesting conversation at work which I'm not looking forward to.
