treblet Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Did you do an HPI check before you bought the car? If the car was repaired on the insurance then it would have shown up on an HPI check.If you didn't do a check before buying it then I don't have much sympathy to be honest.

bikemad04 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Doesnt it only show up on a HPI check if its written of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yes, however by the way this guy it talking it sounds as though it's a CAT C or D that he's bought and not been informed.Maybe I'm just being a bit presumptuous though.

bikemad04 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) Ah ok would be better for all the bumps the car has had to show up on HPI, Is there any way of checking that a car has had a claim against it? As in had an accident and repaired but was not written of. Edited October 16, 2010 by bikemad04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 If you know someone who works for an insurance company then it's very easy.On your own however, I'm not too sure about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust monkey Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I did a hpi check before buying the car it was all good, and had DVLA check too all good. there is no record of the car having no problems at all. i had a good look at the engine it was fine, got back and there was oil in the coolent so head gasket or something wrong with the engine. Then i was told the one side is 1cm out but i will get this tested, i am just hoping that this is not true. i have now got a police friend involved.

rust monkey Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) i dont know but they can find her if i need to have a word in her ear, if the car is not straight i will be seeing her soon. i am not to worried about the engine as i have big ideas happy days, still love the car. I would like to go to a show or meet to see some lupo GTIs to get some ideas. The 1cm out needs to be seen by a car body shop the door done shut flush so need to find out. thanks chaps.

treblet Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 If you were to tell us more about the car or even post a picture it might jog someone's memory a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
