Not starting after being ditched

[jenic]

Friend dropped his 106 into a ditch last week and now it wont start.

Going to see it tomorrow, but just wondered what it could be, he said the radiator is bent and front bumper/bonnet damaged but apart from that nothing else is damaged.

I know its hard to just guess from that info but just wondered if its anything obvious, he said it try's to turn over but its as if no fuel is getting to the engine.

engine deadlock thingy?

Like a safety switch

Standing at the front, back right end of the engine bay is the fuel cut off switch, be either red or black.

Push it in, and it should go!

Mate hit a pothole in his and it did the same!
