Van won't drive after minor accident
I had an accident in my Vivaro 58 reg - only wing damage. The air-bag went off, it was replaced and repaired but now won't start. Fuel is getting to the fuel-rail, but not at high pressure. There's no air bag light on and the van ran great before the accident. I'm assuming there must be a fuel cut off or something?

Yes, the fuel cut off will have been triggered and needs to be re-set. The drivers manual should tell you where it is.
