    I know that saxos use Torsion bars for the suspesion system, ive heard there hard but not so hard, is it worth me having a crack at them or just letting a garage do it for a small fee?

    & on a quick note if i fit VTS inlet manifold to my 1.4 furio what would i have to upgrade?? my mates selling me one for £5 with all the sensors attached and so on. Cheers forums peoples

    No the manifold wont fit.

    Depends how what your like at basic mechanics and what tools you have on weather you want to have a go at it yourself.

    Independent garages can charge alot if they even wan to take th work on, if not then a citroen or saxo specialist will charge about £40 for you.

    Well im fully qualified well all on certificates but i dont really trust myself my mate did his on his VTS and it took him ages, he told me to get a garage to see to it for about £40-£60 which isnt all that bad tbf. And cheers about the manifold, its just the fact he was throwing in sensors thats what got me but if it wont work theres no need for me to throw away £5 really, could buy me some petrol for my runner for about 10 miles lol. Cheers anyway Sax-p'ers

    if it has all the sensors on buhy it n sell all the sensors off separatly, i guess you mean the throttle body aswell. Make some money.

    yeah the whole lot, but the only problem is its coming off a blown up engine for all i know something to do with the inlet side could have caused it?

    You could sell all the sensors off it still easily and the throttle body. Just the ICV wouldcover the cost your bought it for
