    Unhappy think i wrote me car off

    was sitting at set lights near hayes by-pass if anyone know's that area and so idiot went straight into the back off me at the light's, i could'nt believe it what happend,

    does not look all tht bad in pic's but the inside arch is all bent, all the inside boot pan has bent in,trailing arm is all bent in,can't open passenger door, bent exhuast in, when driving car home(very slow) was bad smell of petrol or oil, was thinking it might have pushed exhaust up it turbo and maybe cracked it or manifold, and for strange reason battery is not holding charge.
    has any one had a similar crash and has it been a write off

    quite bad, bend the sill right in.

    who told you that? he doesn't sound confident in his own work.

    done right and you will never know it had been crashed. to me it looks like panel damage. but the most expensive panels to repair.

    what to you lot think of the bad smell of petrol or oil and why do you think tht the battery is not holding charge,
    the car making bad noise when turning right not rubbing on tyres think might have bent axle maybe don't know
