QUOTE(westlife @ Mar 13 2012, 10:20 AM) may i know which insurance company better? Insurance company is more or less the same, most of the terms are standardized and regulated by Bank Negara (yes if you ask, insurance is considered financial sector just like bank, so it is governed by BNM).msig or tokio marine. personally preferred tokio marine, my last NHC is tokio marine (becos panel for that dealer), now insight i bought from another dealer is msig, now one year liao, not sure if i can change to tokio marine? if want to change, how ah?> Added on March 13, 2012, 10:23 am yeah, i also dun think it covers tint as well. From a consumer (or more accurately known as the Insured) point of view, what determines whether you will be a happy claimant or not in the event of any accident would depends on which workshop you towed your car to, and also your luck on getting which insurance adjuster to evaluate your car. Insurance adjuster would be the one that report the extend of damage to insurance company (of course, the workshop will mark the damaged area and recommend the repair), and the adjuster is the one that recommend how much to pay or what parts to be repaired or replaced. The workmanship part of the repair will of course depending on the workshop itself. Other things such as preparing and collecting police report will depends whether you get a good callman (those walkie talkie guy that appear out of nowhere within minutes your car met accident). A lot of times, callman knows the people in police station well, help you to sketch accident diagram, collect police photo and findings etc, and that save you a lot of trouble especially your one and only car you have is no longer driveable and your job requires you to be in office from 9am to 6pm. As I had mentioned in my earlier post, you have to take out your insurance policy covernote and read on the endorsement part (because windscreen is an add-on coverage, look for windscreen section), as every insurance company have slight variation in defining their terms and condition for coverage. As far as for all the 3 cars in my house having 3 different insurance company, all their windscreen endorsement mentioned covering all the glass windows around the car, sunroof and tinting. Whenever you have free time, it is good that car owner run through the insurance policy to know what you are covered for the premium you had paid. Of course, I do hope no one will ever need to make a claim, but in case if you come across the need, at least you don't feel lost or cheated. Also for new car owner that still have warranty with your car, make sure you insist your car be towed to panel workshop (those who not sure, please call the Honda Insurance Package tollfree number to ask for location and procedure). This is to ensure there is no dispute in future warranty claims of the vehicle. |

Hi all, thinking to add side step garnish but the Honda original accessories do not seem to have Blue LED. I saw somewhere in the forum before (someone has INSIGHT blue LED steel plate side step) but couldn't find it now.
Any idea where I can get those and how much will it cost? Thanks. |

QUOTE(cbinn @ Jan 26 2012, 04:48 PM) Just sharing what I understand about how Insight starts its engine. Under normal circumstances where your IMA battery is not completely exhausted (which very rarely would as the computer will try its best to keep it at least 20% soc or above unless you left the car parked for more than a month without start), the car engine would be crank started using the IMA motor instead of the normal starrter motor. IMA motor will spin up the engine before resuming the combustion cycle, it is kind of like we push-start a manual car with a dead battery. Because this process does not involve the use to starter motor powered by the 12V battery, and the starting method is to spin up the entire engine to speed and resume the combustion cycle i.e. fuel injector, spark plugs and valve trains, the engine is kind of like 'resuming from hybernation' instead of starting from stop. If you notice, starting Insight with this method is extremely fast and quiet when compared to cranking up any of the non-hybrid car using a regular 12v starter motor. As other forumers had mentioned, this is actually a designed feature and definitely this revolutionary method of starting the car avoid those wear and tear produced by regular starter motor. This method also reduce a lot of polution and dirt builtup as the first cycle of fuel injected when starting engine will be completely burned (as engine already spinned up to speed using the IMA motor), while in regular starter vehicle, the few engine cycle during cranking up left behind unburned fuel, which turns to carbon deposit in combustion chamber and exhaust system. Finally, starting the vehicle using the IMA instead of 12V system reduce stress to the 12V supply system, as you will not get power surge or sudden voltage drop during engine start, thus can help to prolong the lifespan of all 12V equipment and accessories from faulire caused by power fluctuation. Added on March 13, 2012, 11:20 pm QUOTE(john insight @ Mar 13 2012, 11:14 PM) Thanks for the valuable information. When the IMA down would the engine start as usual ?.How the 12V battery charge up since I can't find any alternator, or share with the IMA motor for charging. Is there any DC12V starter install in the event of IMA totally failed. I was told the 12V battery for accessory and inportantly used also for the computer for the whole control. Older Insight 2 door version do have a 12V starter. eager to find out and get prepare in the event happen !. This post has been edited by john insight: Mar 13 2012, 11:20 PM |

QUOTE(westlife @ Mar 13 2012, 08:53 PM) thanks for the great explanation. You can send it back to Honda Service Center and they will help you on the claim procedure, however, eventually they will still help you to send your car to their panel workshop because the equipment inside service center is for routine servicing and not accident repair. They would not have facility or manpower to perform accident damage repair job such as panel beating or spray painting in the most of the service center.besides, touch wood in the case of any claim, can't we just send back the car to honda service centre for repair and claim for the damage instead of going to panel workshop? |
