Broken In Again!

[DangerMouse]

Well it's happened again. This time they have busted the passenger lock - looks like they have bashed it out. Any idea on the cost to replace the lock, or will it be an insurance job (think my excess is £200).

The *****s, wouldnt u just love to find em and cut off their testies?

and urm I have no idea.

I think its around £50 if memory serves but dont hold me to it as mine were done under warranty.

[DangerMouse]

£50 sounds reasonable - I'll go to see Mr T today

[DangerMouse]

Well Mr T has come back with a price

£900

Yep that's right, apparently that is for new parts, labour, VAT - including skimming the door????

Insurance Job

Skimming the door????

Is that really needed?

Is it just the lock thats damaged or the body panels as well?

[DangerMouse]

The bodywork just around the lock is slightly indented - I would have though a hammer on the back would suffice, but according to Mr T this would not be enough for Toyota Paintwork Warranty.

A car of mine some 15 years ago had this happen to the drivers door and it made my wallet £700 lighter to fix it then, so £900 allowing for price rises may be not so far off the mark.

dammed annoying when it happens though

!Removed! hell! all in favour of attacking the next thug they see say aye.
