Thanks for the responses guys.
I've also got to find a bug sti o/s headlight, mine's smashed beyond repair. I've phoned around but no luck so far, and the new option is a last resort. If anyone has one just sitting in their garage ........

Not good. Hope you get it fixed. On a slightly differant note, I may be wrong, but I'm sure you have to tell someone if you hit a deer. I mean the likes of the local council, RSPCA etc. you won't get fined for telling them but I'm sure you can get into trouble if you don't report it and you were spotted.
As I said, I may be wrong but it might be worth looking into.

Don't worry, the deer was my first concern. After the impact I parked up and eventually found the deer 200 yards away from the road in a field, almost unbelievable as both its back legs were broken. I had no means with me to send it on its way, so I contacted TV police, the RSPCA and my local vet, then sat with it. Eventually an RSPCA vet came out and ended its suffering. Pretty miserable day all round really.

I feel really guilty now. Hit a deer a couple of months ago and the last I saw of it was this. Weird cos I'm an animal lover, but was gutted as my car was pretty smashed up and I knew that I'd take a massive hit on the bank balance...

Donnie B 46 that's an amazing picture and you obviously hit a large deer. Mine was only a roe doe, so relatively small, but the impact was enough to cause lots of expensive damage. But I guess you ought to have sorted your deer out once you'd let off enough steam!
