So basically had my first every accident...not much but im really pissed off...the only damage to the car is the driver side window which is completely gone...basically i was reversing the car a bit so the garage could close and i forgot to close the door and it hit the pillar and destroyed the window, surprisingly and thankfully nothing has happened to the door (just a small scuff)...
basically i also found out i am having an oil leak, which must of started in the last few days, cos i had no problem before....
does anyone know how much it costs to repair the window ? i gave obrien a call and they can give me a quote on tuesday, can anyone give me a rough estimate ? or if someone knows anyone that can help me out cheaply....PLEASE. also, this stupid oil leak is pissing me off...what can/should i do...does oil have anything to do with fuel ? cos i had to put some cheaper fuel in recently cos premium "ship hadnt arrived" (BULLSHIT)...
any help would be appreciated thanks guys/girls

the fuel will just give you sh*t performance as the FTO gets its power from high compression, you've probably got a leaking rocker cover gasket. have a look under the car and trace where the oil is coming from. stop being lazy.
i might have a window for you, from the new owner of my wreck. i'll get in touch with him tomorrow.

thank you...and im not being lazy..i just havent had the greatest day...its actually been the worst day, and i dont want to risk making something else wrong happening...as for checking the oil, i am pretty sure its the gasket cover..cos i can see its all oily..
please let me know about the driver side window asap please..thank you

FFS use yellow pages (internet style) if you have to OR try googling panel house. Oh look at that bennoz is holding your hand for you isnt he sweet.
Didnt know about your time frame and in answer to it i have no idea you will have to ring them.
