So unfortunately i've had a little 'run in' with a lamp post. Long story short I was hoping people would be able to point me in the right direction and tell me what they reckon replacing and can anyone recommend anywhere in Birmingham to have the work carried out.

 

Here's some pics of the car:

Just to note all of the oil also fell out but the car was still started after the accident but was turned off straightaway to avoid any further damage

Engine oil, gear oil, or both?

Sorry should've mentioned engine oil

So can no one really tell me what parts they think need replacing or recommend anyone in Bham that could fix it?

It's a little bit difficult to tell from a few blurred pictures, it sounds like you smashed the sump when you mounted the kerb in order to hit the lamp post.

 

Why don't you start by removing the front bumper, wheel, arch liner and the wing so that you can actually see the damage underneath, they all just unbolt for easy removal.

Inner tie rod is broken straight off and most likely sump too.

Probably the car will need to have a check on all it's front geometry for the suspension, wheel alignment etc, adding, the car could/ maybe be classed as a write-off if insurers get involved, with the insurer's estimate of the cost of repair,  is greater than the value of car ??
