      The thing with all this is , if they can treat those at the top end of car market in such ways . Then obviously they will give even less thought for those who are at the very low end of the scale . Certainly eventually those in possession of older vehicles will increasingly find it difficult to get realistic insurance coverage . So immediately taking a mass swath of the motoring population , out of the equation . What never you cry , we’ll sit back and enjoy the journey .

      It's been going on for years, it's just now they do it more blatantly as it's too late to stop them. The U.S. military do it at night using drones, in the UK they have 'tested' using different chemicals without our consent but with parliamentary approval so work that out as to how we are a democracy?
      Oh and if you've noticed there aren't so many Police helicopters about? Well it's because they now use large high flying drones with surveillance equipment on board, cheaper and less maintenance plus unmanned and thus unknown as too whom they spy on.

    Years ago I had a brilliant low mileage lovely burgundy Ford Escort Diesel, which was stolen. Even with a garage owner backing me up with a letter to say he could not replace it for less than £2400, the best the insurance would offer was £1600. So despite being insured, I was left out of pocket. In those days, a lot of money for me. Doesn't seem as though much has changed.

Since looking into it I've realised they've had one for years (I could never previously understand how frequently the mother changed her car for a new car).

      All sorts of aggro 'paperwork'. I posted elsewhere how I found my car that had been stolen before the Rozzers found it and because it was reported stolen - my insurance wouldn't let me just remove it myself. That was 20 odd years ago. We live in a World of crazy nonsensical hoops that have to be jumped through

    Hi Geoff, if cars are being looted (pun intended) buy the "Looton" salvage crews, then surely, they must be braking into them. Who parks their car in an airport car park and leaves them unlocked?

    • @impy1980
      @impy1980 17 днів тому

      Heat could destroy the glass, heat could mess with electronics. It's also highly possible a window either side gets smashed out so a strap or even just a folk can lift the vehicle. Modern cars also have a central unlock button even if no physical locks to pull, so the vehicles are already compromised from the removal process. Not saying you don't have a point, and extra steps, such as reaching in to press the unlock button, are needed to say get to the boot. As I said in my own comment, when I was at Car Park 1 a month ago, there was a car sniffing around cars more than I thought was necessary.

      They're selling the business, you stand even less chance then. Sue them now if you have the ability to do so, before they have sold up to US competitors who will more than likely purchase without any liabilities. At the very least contact the purchaser and ask them how they plan to honour those liabilities after purchase or if they will consider only purchasing when they're addressed with customers by Inchcape and see what they say.

    Hold on Jeff I have recovered vehicles for salvage and part of that process is to remove all personnel items from the vehicle and bag them up for the owners to collect. I've not seen the vids so I'm only saying that is the process so could be misunderstood

    • @impy1980
      @impy1980 17 днів тому +1

      You're correct, when someone cut across me when their light was red and I clipped their back bumper, but destroyed my wing, my car was towed, and I had to collect my belongings in a clear bag, wasn't much, a cleaning cloth, the car's manual, and a cheap 12V USB adapter, and some random stuff my ex had left in the glove box. So it could be a misunderstanding, however I would expect this to be done at the impound yard so belongings can be correctly logged and stored for collection, not on the salvage site itself, but haven't ever worked in either jobs, I'm only expressing my expectations. I have also witnessed and recorded someone on site at Luton sniffing around cars more than I thought was necessary. But I agree with you we do need more context about the footage, where it was, were workers bagging up stuff etc.

    Insurance is bordering on a scam.

And when you do get a portion of it back they charge you more next to me because you dare hold them to account. They’ve had your money for years to play with…but don’t you dare ask for some of it back

    It may sound a bit esoteric and even eccentric but as regards buying from a dealer its worth checking whether that dealers garage lies within an recognised Environment agency 'flood area' (check online on their website). I used to work near Inchcape in Derby and the locals confirmed that the area its in, is very low lying and prone to flooding being close to the River Derwent. On another point a local respected car dealer (good reputation) seems to be struggling to get new ordinary car 'stock' because of the 17 cars advertised a massive 75% are Range rovers or Discoveries. I've heard all the stories of insurance costs and LR product theft vulnerability, but he must be a bit worried he has such a big stock that d'ont seem to be shifting?

    As for the Airport issue: Why should any insurance company refuse the legal owner access and removal of their property if a claim has not been made? It does not seem legal to me. The dealership issue again is that the cars were in the 'care' of that dealership because of a manufacturing problem. The claim should be against the dealership or even the manufacturer. I have never trusted insurance companies. Another question: It seems insurance companies are writing off and scrapping perfectly good cars with minimal damage. Anything over 10 years old or above 100K miles will be scrapped it seems. This is a total waste. Is their a 'higher' directive we ask??

    If the iPace was designed half competently, pressing the brake pedal should override all accelerator inputs including cruise control in the computer. In every car with cruise control I have ever driven, the brake switch cancels cruise control too. Police likely got told that the entire brake system was working perfectly fine and that the only way the car could possibly be "out of control" is if the driver never actually tried hitting the brakes. A quick exam of brake pads and rotors would immediately show whether an attempt to stop the car using hydraulics was actually made. I bet the pads and discs were still like-new instead of ruined from absorbing 150+kW until they failed.
    Also, the car's computers likely had logs on them and I wouldn't be surprised if those confirmed there was no attempt at braking through the whole thing, full-throttle the whole way until the battery died.

    They should claim from the jaguar garage insurance and not their insurance as then they can claim for a hire car until it's settled. Denied claims are not in good faith, and the insurance company should be reported . If the flood is due to bad design or if flood gates aren't operating properly, then the jaguar garage has a claim from the operators. But your claim is with the jaguar garage .
