im quite surprised its still in one piece, i would have expected the dirt chav to slam a 2lt nova straight into the nearest tree.
they couldn't with no ecu in the cr to drive it.
i am sure they would have tried to push it into a tree thou
that was well lucky to get it back mate, i hope its all alright mate.
lew
F**k me.
Sounds like theres a few groups of people after Novas in Manchester.
What with yours and Riggys being taken within the space of one week.
Glad to hear its been recovered tho, fingers crossed its in one piece.

Nam, did you say who you were when you called, or did they willingly just give out information to some random person who rang up?!
they didnt give me any infomation unfortunatly
otherwise ste would have his car back free of charge as i would have bribed them for breaking the DPA :thumb:
Wtf, ?117 recovery charge, what a joke.
At least there aint much damage.
How did they get in?
Window?
With the greatest of respect
GET A FU3KING ALARM!
looks like they went the hard way about getting it started! Glad to hear you got it back ok. Pykie bastrds.
yea, in though the window, with out breaking it either...
cars locked up in garage now, and will be sorted at weekend, new steering colum's going on it, and it doesn't feel right when driving it. it feels really lose, and no feedback from what its doing
If you got remote central locking, disconnect the pins from the back of the door lock to the mechanism (not gonna say why but trust me, you probs already know) then if you got the grey bits at the top of the doors like the GSi and GTE its easier, mark where the lock pins sit when locked and cut off the tops so they sit flush when the door is locked so noone can unlock the door as there is nothing to pull up to unlock it, just makes it either a little less tempting to get in or at least more awkward for the fcukers!!!
Good to see you got her back in one piece and so soon too matey!!!
Ye/\
Thats what mine is done like, i have no door pins at all.

I thought of that but instead I got some solex locks because you can dead-lock them and then the pins cannot be pulled up and the door doesnt open if you pull the handle.
Seems to be prett safe
:thumb:
Solex locks are made of cheese lol
?117 is right for recovering it, i work at a recovery place. We dont make the charges the police set them up, its ?105 call-out fee and ?12 a day parking. these charges are this high because of the people who's car we impound and dont cough up, we also have to pay to scrap the cars. i know its unfair but thats the great british roads/driving laws. i have also been on the receiving end of these charges before i started at the recovery firm, i had to pay a weeks parking (at ?18) because the police werent sure who took the car !?!
although if you picked the car up within a day id drop the ?12 charge

I thought the same thing when I saw the pics of the wires, but Im glad you got the car back in pretty much one piece Ste.
she will be sorted at weekend thank to MandyRacers slection of broken nova's on his drive :lol:
aye the solex stuff is "good" for non picking etc but they arent that strong.
am glad that there wasnt to much damage mate. where did the police find it?
lew
was found pushed half way down the road it was taken on...
due to moving house temporarly, they knocked on my old house, which is in the process of being gutted etc, and go no answer, they toed the car for that reason.
they couldn't get the car started, had no ecu in it, bet they felt proper gutted, that they couldn't steal a nova lol lol
glad too hear you got it back ste

you didnt have to pay anything to get the car back the recovery try and con you when i had my bike stolen i went to pick it up after from recovery they saiid ?120 so we wasnt happy about it so we told police and police says they have tried doing this with people to rip you off you shouldnt have to pay anything when its been stolen have a word with the police and try and get ur money back
normally people claim it back of the insurance company but obviously for ?117 its not worth it, if recovery operators worked for free then we'd all shut down then you'd be f**ked when you break down !!
just imagine if your car was stolen and found, the police couldn't get it towed away because there were no recovery operators anymore so the next night the pikeys came back and torched it, you'd wish you had the option to pay ?117 !!

seems half cheap. When I rolled my valver last year it cost me ?305 for recovery & 2 days storage.
Damn!
