Got a call back from the repair centre today about my car, she’s going to get repaired.
The downside is I will still have to drive that waste of metal for another week or so.

[Phill]

Got the car back today but she is going back in January as the airbag light is still on.

The garage tried to cancel the fault while I was there but the computer couldn’t connect to the airbag ECU, he says it could be a fuse or a damaged airbag ECU.

Could anyone who knows about this stuff let me know if he is on the right track or just feeding me bull s**t .

Everything is back to normal except that dam airbag light. I have put a post on vvoc to see if anyone can point me in the right direction. Im worried it has nothing to do with the accident and they don't fix it.

What an accident man woah! pains me to see that!

Hope you get that light fixed!!

I should have updated this post . The repair center sent it to my local Vauxhall dealer and it turns out it was a broken wire near the airbag ECU which was behind the damaged area and the insurance covered it. I know it's not everyone's first choice of a car but im averaging 50.5 miles to the gallon and i do like to make sure the turbo works twice a day to and from work.
