Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / July 2008Crash
A few nights ago I was travelling down a duel carriageway where the left land was coned off for road works where a slip road joins on a woman decided to not give way to me resulting in me hitting the side of her car and my series 3 tipping over and sliding up the road. I’ve put some pictures on my web site www.sumpoil.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/crash2.html The police are charging the other driver with driving without due care. Insurance have written Land Rover off but I have bought it back off them to rebuild. I am now looking for a solid and straight SWB series 3 rear tub, front wings and roof. Anyone got any for sale?

Looks ok to me - it's a Land Rover innit :) I have a SWB roof (SW London/Middlesex) - not sure what vintage, is there anything on it I can measure/etc. that will help you decide if it's right for your vehicle. As for value - no idea, take the average of the last few sold on yer fave blaggers site maybe?

Northeast, North Yorkshire area. Regards Liam I've got what you require if you can't find them nearer home, just in West Yorkshire, east of Manchester. Martin You could knock them dents out with a lump hammer in half an hour! gives it character! :) You can also buy just the panels you require rather than complete tubs and wings and rivet them into place. When i did mine up i bought a complete tub from the local LR place who are always breaking a few. Try your local. People pull out infront of you often now, whatever you are driving :(. They either expect you to move or have no manners and expect modern standard brakes. Some retard in an RV with trailer almost took me out in a big silver 101 (with lights turned on too) on sunday night! > A few nights ago I was travelling down a duel carriageway where the > left land was coned off for road works where a slip road joins on a > woman decided to not give way to me resulting in me hitting the side > of her car and my series 3 tipping over and sliding up the road. It's only a small dent in her eurobox not enough to have tipped a landie I would have thought at least not without a hefty yank on the steering. Had you not noticed that the other driver was either trying to sneak in front or had not seen you? Me, I'd have just held the steering firm maybe with a little in an avoiding direction and used the landies weight to win the battle... If I had a £1 for each time I've seen some one come down a slip road and just pulled into the running lane without paying any attention to what is in that lane I'd be a rich man. Or have people pull out from lane 1 to lane 2 without looking 'cause they see someone coming down a slip road. These wazzocks don't half jump when they get a continuous blast of the horn and full lights 10' from their rear bumper. What does the Highway Code say about joining traffic form a slip road? Something about matching your speed to the traffic slotting in. SignatureCheers Dave.

The impact with her car didn't do a lot of damage but the front corner of the bumper took all the impact which forced it against the tyre which pulled the steering to the left and locking up the wheel as well as the steering. Thats why it tipped over. Also the back end of her car span round and hit my back wheel lifting the back end up as well. The way the road was coned off ment that she had to turn to 90 degrees with the main carriageway, like a T junction. I was sure she had seen me because she had just about stopped to give way but just slowly kept moving. Didn't think she wasn't going to stop untill I hit her. She obviously hadn't seen the huge give way signs as well as me (or the cars behind me). I think that most people think that they don't have to give way as they join from a slip road. Once saw a car come down a slip road and drive into the side of a petrol tanker, how can you not see one of those coming along the road? Regards Liam > ... > wazzocks don't half jump when they get a continuous blast of the > horn and full lights 10' from their rear bumper. they do - and I'm sure we've all done it - but IIRC the "Hello, I am here" signals are supposed to be warnings/alerts made before the incident occurs. just a thought.
