My sympathies. I've hit a couple of items with the new Roadster, but
fortunately the lowest point is the gearbox cross member. One of the
items I hit was speed pads outside a school. The car will not cross them
without grounding, so I have to drive in the middle of the road with one
set of wheels on the flat. I think the person responsible for planting
these things should have to pay for any damage. That might make them
think twice!

Hi all,
Very bad day in Rotherham, our roadster has sustained severe damage to the sump caused by
some sort of obstruction in the road (i think the object is designed to be used for
securing gates when closed, but is around 3-4 inches high and - as i found out to my cost
- very solidly constructed). Basically, I now have oil dripping from the lowest point of
the engine, and I suspect it is out of action for a few days at least - and here endeth
all hopes for "Morgans at Windermere" at the end of the week!
I contacted the AA, and they advised me that as I had come into contact with
something on the road, the damage qualifies as a Road Traffic Accident, and (as
I had reached home) they refused to attend.
As I was leaving an organised event, and still technically on the premises
where the event took place, I have notified the organisers of what has happened.
Have any other Roadster owners had similar misfortune? Does insurance cover
damage of this nature?
Any advice gratefully received......
