I have just had a wheel in the back of my car banging around and my cars cut out. Wondering if I have a cut off switch on my car as it wont start but it is ticking over when I turn key.

Hello,

It doesn't have a cut off switch but there are electronics that could have been damaged. Can you tell me if you hear the fuel pump in the tank turn on when you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over? Here is a guide to help us get started:
