A short length of tube in the ear is only any real use for balancing carbs... Just because your gearbox was checked at the last service doesn't mean it's still full, it may have sprung a leak. I'd say most likely to be a wheel bearing and for what it costs, that would be my first choice. PeterN...

That's made me feel a lot better. Not.

I wouldn't sink my own money into a used Tesla. Too many uncertanties. Fine if it's leased or through a company. Current residuals may be high because they're rare but future residuals low because of reliability or repair costs. However having said that, look at how many old Priuses are running...

If it's bird poo , be warned it can damage the paint.

Tell them you want to sue the third party. If anyone has any sense they'll speak to your insurers and get them to see sense.

I've always found a wet rag or sponge left to soak shifts insect splats or bird poo.

Did the black box survive the impact?

Didn't you have a career in education as well?
