Default What is that tapping noise???? Actually wrecked Disco

Coming home last night... An Acura was hit on the hwy and lost control and slid over into my lane. It was raining and there was no stoping. I only had time to figure out where I wanted to hit the Acura. I picked the rear panel and actually took the trunk off like a sardine can. After the accident I pulled over the side of the road and looked at the Acura. I could stand at the rear of the car and look from where the rear bumper should have been and see the dash. The back of the car was torn away!

I barely even felt the impact... I knew it happened and I certainly heard it. I drove the Rover home.. about 4 miles at 35-40 mph. Any faster than that, the steering got pretty squirrely. Needless to say the Acura was hauled away. I even drove the Rover to work today.

I looked her over pretty good and the front clip is pushed back on the psgr side. The radiator is not damaged at all but it was pushed back. The psgr side fender is pushed back into the psgr door. The rear arm is bent as well as the new big blue spring on the psgr side is off the mount. The new Procomp shock is smashed from the spring but the damn thing still works!!!!

Here the pics from my car. I did not have a camera the time so I dont have any of the acura... believe me, the Acura is no more!


I am pretty concerned about the leak I developed at the front diff. As well as I beleive the steering gear box has been stripped. F#$@
