ouch,nasty mate.
Check under pass side arch, if i remember correctly, as fuel filter line is prone to coming off, especially if hit.

LOL, cold.......you wearing that vest again?? smileys/smiley17.gif

not sure how the setup is on saxos, never really had a look, you may be lucky and just pulled a pipe off. saying that tho, i think they have special connections on the end, so its hard to pull them off smileys/smiley5.gif

hopefully it will be a simple fix smileys/smiley2.gif smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley4.gif

well thats why there is speed bumps! not to slow you down....just to fuck up your car and make you pay for it...as you have seemed to have done. unlucky, hope its sorted soon. im sure when you go over that speed bump again you won't be doing 30mph smileys/smiley17.gif if your going about 60-70mph you might just hit the bump and fly over it without breaking anythin....except the speed limit.
