Driving like a right pillock in hind sight, but was going nutty on a roundabout with an R26.R and floored it for the exit, back end stepped out, tried to correct it and it gripped and threw me into the kerb. Was a gentle collison, didn't mount the kerb or get violently forced away, more of a kiss.
Anyway stopped at nearest petrol station to check wheel, it's Fubar'd no doubt but tyre stayed inflated and steering fine, car drove to station faultless.
Get in and try to start it, ignition comes on but silence on the start. All fuses and relays checked.
Had to bump start it to get home, once home still wouldn't work. Spare key tried, battery disconnected, car locked/unlocked etc etc etc.
What am I looking at a new motor??? Subframe off to change?
Lesson learnt...
