SWMBO had the misfortune to be T-boned today by a blind Japanese woman in a BMW. 'I didn't see you'. Amazing given the clear, dry, broad daylight conditions and the fact that the D3 has the same invisibility characteristics as a 3 bedroom bungalow.
No injuries thank heavens.
The BMW hit the NSF wheel side on. Damage seems to be to wheel, tyre, wing, grill and bumper.
It's been taken away for repair.
Question is, what else would a sideways blow to the wheel damage? Suspension, drive shaft / CV, wheel bearing, front diff?____

There's a wiring harness behind the plastic inner wheelarch liner and the FBH to consider, it depends how much unseen damage was done. The main components behind the wheel are - upper/lower control arms, hub carrier, hub, suspension strut, track rod arm.GAP IID Pro Multi Vehicle Defender L316 2007-2015 - Discovery 3 - Discovery 4 - Discovery Sport L550 - Freelander 2 - Range Rover Evoque L538 - Range Rover L322 - Range Rover L405 - Range Rover Sport L320 - Range Rover Sport L494 Electrical Fault Diagnostics
