#2 of 4 my parked cooper got rear ended (not too bad) and now it wont start by 12bomb Mar 30, 2008 (8:46 am)
my parked car got rear ended by someone who fell asleep and im not worried about the bumper because thats a simple fix, but my car wont start now. its a manual trans. and when i parked it, i left it in 1st gear. when the person hit my car it went forward about 10 feet. its turning over but wont start. does any one know what to do before i sent it in and see the bill for those repairs?

Replying to: 12bomb (Mar 30, 2008 8:46 am) Sounds like something in the engine got screwed up by the 10 foot jump, especially if it ran fine when parked. However, damages would be covered by the other guy's insurance...All you need is a statement from the Mini shop detailing the damages. Replies to this message: kasperghost (May 10, 2008 7:25 pm)

Replying to: busiris (Mar 30, 2008 9:05 am) Probably too late... Does it have an automatic fuel cut-off switch? Usually under the dash.
