That ripple on the roof (windscreen right top corner) could be hard to iron out. More than just the engine was pushed back.

Transporter,

Checked roof out, does not seem to be any damage.

It has however pushed in the inside of the wheel arch around where the coil for the suspension is.

The engine mount seems ok.

Having been in similar accident with my T4 some years back [ ran into the back of a car transporter one of those low long trailer styles ] the back of the trailer cut in right in line with the inner edge of the drivers headlight and it compressed the guard and door skin and sheared off the front axle tearing out the cv joint as well . But wasn,t seen at first inspection was that the gap around the front door window frame and the roof was out of line , it was sort of wider at the very top corner which meant that the impact had driven the body and drivers pillar upwards . End result was insurers wrote it off [pity I really loved my T4 more than my T5 I now drive .] It was a 2.5 petrol and T5s only offered a 2.0 lt petrol underpowered to hell I am afraid . Howard
