Hi everyone, im hoping this is the right place to post because theres a largelist of problems..... Right, i bought a saxo vts in silver off a mate of mine that hit a bush and spun out because he was driving too fast (epicfail), from what i see i need a new nearside wing and track rod end. I've got an abs light on, the key fob is broke everytime i get in the car the idicators flash and i noticed the siren has been disconnected. Apparently its been remapped, but from all i see the numb nuts that mapped it has just taken the rev limiter off or moved it up the rev range :/ But apart from that its alright... So if people could commenton this stuff and hopefully i can get this mean machine back on the road.
Thanks alll:afro:

ABS light will be on because of a bad sensor likley to be on the side of the impact. Nearside wings can be bouht for a few £. Trackrod end is like £7.

thats for the keyfob.

Unlocking and ECU dosent change the rev limit.

check the connections underneath the seat. Usually just need disconnecting a bit of a clean and reconnecting again.

How many bolts should hold a wing on ? Do they go throught the bumper aswell ?

There should be 3 along the top under the bonnet edge, one at the front of the wing below the headlight area(where the wing mounts to the inner wing same as the side bumper bolt), there should also be one in the inner arch around the area of the side repeater half way up the wing where it meets the door, and one on the bottom of the wing by the sill, just before the sideskirt starts.
