Shagged rear axle, some questions about replacing it

[Robbie1984]

Hello everyone

I have a W reg VTS, and my rear axle is proper shagged and needs replacing.

I understand the cheapest option is to swap the axle for a new one.

VTS axles seem to be extremely hard to get hold of from scrappies around the area, so I'm looking at other options to get me through an MOT so that I have something I can use while I start to save up for a new car.

One thought my dad had, would be to swap it over with a standard saxo axle with drums instead of disk brakes on the rear, however I have a few questions regarding this idea that I am hoping you can help with:

1. Would the drum axle from another saxo fit a VTS that had disk brakes?

2. I'm pretty sure my car has ABS on the rear, if I did fit drum brakes, would this cause the ABS light on the dashboard to come on, and therefore fail an MOT.

3. If the answer to above question is yes, how could this be worked around?

Thanks in advance.
