Wallace Pehs

Any of you Dundee types know if you can still get Wallace pehs in Dundee ?. I mourn the day Wallace disappeared from the shelves of Tescos etc.

True. I've been missing the purity of the S1 (for "purity" read "rattles, crashes and bangs")

Thanks all. Having weighed up the pros and cons I've decided to go with the "official" repair route. Wish me luck, I'll report progress/results as and when (probably next year :? )

Cheers,

Robin

Does anyone have specific experience of replacing the crash structure ?. I'm seriously considering having this work done myself under the guise of the approved bodyshop next to my dad's place. We can do all the stripping/rebuilding ourselves. Can't be that difficult replacing the clam, radiator and ...

Thanks. This has all boosted my confidence no end. If it's left outside, it'll fill up with water as the roof leaks on the driver's side. A point I'm aware of and take precautions against all the time (MMC couldn't fix it). FFS, the car cost me £29K ish and these f**ckwits will just treat it like an...

Stuff it. It's going to Wallyford. If the job's not up to scratch I won't sign for it and the insurance company can deal with it. It shouldn't be this much hassle just to have your car repaired. Thanks for all of the advice anyway, I'll let you know what transpires for future reference.

Thanks for that. I'll see what happens when I call the insurer this morning. I'm with AON who do the "Lotus Esteem" policy therefore they should have good experience with Lotus accident repairs. I would imagine that MMC is one of their approved places. Whatever happens I'll go with the insurer's rec...

Thanks Simon. I've got an old banger to run around in as well as the S1 so a hire car isn't a necessity. Unfortunately I don't have specific experience with any repair shops so I wouldn't know where to go. As said before you hear good and bad reports about everyone so it's pot luck whether or not th...

Can I ask MMC to send it to Wallyford instead of Perth ?. I presume it depends on the workload going through each at the time.

Just seen Scottd's post about his car just back from JM PErth after new clam. His underbody damage sustained while at JM PErth is ridiculous. If that happens to my car I'll go mental. I had a look underneath when I left it at MMC, no underside damage whatsoever but I didn't take any pic's. Nervous n...

Guess you're right. Think I'll just leave it to MMC. Anyone else had front clam replaced by MMC ?. How long is it likely to take (crash srtructure assumed to be damaged also, windscreen cracked, radiator burst). Nothing wrong with suspension, still drove true, no wheel damage so only impact to the f...
