Rover 75 gremlins

I've had a T-reg Rover 75 for eighteen faultless months, if you don't count
one replacement headlight bulb. About a month ago, I had a little coming
together at a roundabout when some bugger in a Punto decided to change lanes
at a roundabout at the last second and stand on the anchors. No prizes for
guessing who came off worse (light damage to NSF wing and bonnet), but a
couple of things have gone wrong since getting the car back from the
bodyshop.
1: ABS warning light: The day after getting the car back, the ABS warning
light came on. Friends suggested Direct Line's bodyshop might've disturbed
something, or there may have been gunk on a sensor. A couple of days later
the light went out again......
2: Speedometer: Tonight I went to do the Big Shop at Asda, and suddenly the
speedo died - and that ABS warning light came on again.
My questions are:
1: Is there really likely to have been anything damaged during repairs?
2: Are these jobs something I can do meself, and if so, how? I helped the
next door neighbour change the speedo cable on his Seat Toledo, which was
hell on earth. I read somewhere that later Rovers use some kind of
electrical sender for the speedo rather than the usual mechanical cable...
Any help greatly appreciated!
Re: Rover 75 gremlins
this will bring on the warning lamp. If I remember correctly (it has
been a couple of years since I left Rover) the speedometer also picks up
its signal from here too, I am sure if I am incorrect someone will let
me know!!! :-)
