cerealuk Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Thought I'd got away with driving in the nasty icey conditions and snow the last few days. Was really proud of myself when disaster struck The roads were really bad on the way home from work tonight and the Ice finally got me at the local petrol station Don't think I can claim on the insurance as I have a £750 excess Stupid Ice Will get photos of the damage up soon but here's what happened... I pulled into the petrol station. Stopped and got out after popping the filler cap.. Turned the cap and the bit of plastic that allows the cap to dangle down while you fill up had got so brittle that it snapped :( O well could have been worse I suppose!!! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 speak to r35lee i'm sure he can sort you out Quote
djrm Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Hard luck but after the build up I must say I was expecting a worse accident lol... Quote

rob d Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Were you injured ? Did you wear the correct PPE for the task ? Did you risk asses first ? If not then no insurance support for you my thrill seeking friend... Quote
Will370z Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Omg I'm gutted for you, hope you and the passengers were ok and it can easily be fixed Quote
