Not yet, its cracked the main belt cover, so wanting to investigate that before i attempt it.

If its damaged though, its already done when I crashed it, and the police attempted to start it, which I wasn't too happy about.

Been there myself very recently Nath.

Insurance would definitely write it off if the repairs were more than £1500 I reckon. Depends how much it'll cost you, but if you wouldn't lose your NCB it might be worth claiming £1500 or less for the repairs.

Looks like the fans etc have pushed the cover into the belt area stopping the engine from turning.....?
I would remove the engine mount so the engine is free and try and rotate it by hand.
The zs or zr is not very strong upfront at all really

What a stupid **** the copper was! Why even bother starting it!? I be you went mental. It wasn't going to be driven.

It refused to start for them, it made a slight splutter of life but then nothing. Did sound to have compression, but that means nothing really.

Went mad with them, was already fuming that I'd crashed the car.

Its snapped the three ignition coils on the front bank, so wouldn't start anyway. That engine mounting you mention snapped too!

N/S Headlight - Sourced new
O/S Headlight - Sourced new
O/S fog lamp

F/Number plate
Drivers airbag
Passengers airbag
N/S seatbelt
O/S seatbelt
Airbag ECU
Crash sensors?
Coolant radiator
A/C Radiator
Fan assembly
Ignition coils x3
Timing belt cover(s)
O/S engine mounting

And anything else it's potentially damaged that I'm not yet aware of.
