winemart2 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Dual carriageway, ~40mph, dark 11pm, outside lane, not a single drink, suddenly a massive bang front offside, wtf was that? I maintain that a kerb jumped out into the road (i'll go back and look). Instant deflate & rim damage. Let the AA fit the spare, i've paid enough over the years, there in 10 mins. Next day find an alloy expert, new tyre then alloy bod sorts the wheel, brilliant. How much damage to the geometry, KwikFit super smart/make the tea/gubbins, should be £50 but £20 for pound notes in the pocket (if you know someone). Front offside tracking perfect, nearside 20' out, castor/camber fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbell Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Large animal perhaps? I went past a good few dead deer in the last couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 This made a massive bag when I hit it. Was probably a dead animal like a badger, they'll bugger the car up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winemart2 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 I've been back but don't see what it might have been. Another prob now - went to use the car today, flat battery, measured 6v. Had to use the key in the fob to get in. Charged it up, started ok but with a red battery symbol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winemart2 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 It gets crazier, went to take it to the dealer, ignition light went off after ~1 mile and battery back to 14v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
