Hi there new to this forum.

But here goes I was in a car crash on Friday night and my airbags deployed and just wanting to know if you have to change the whole dash to replace the passenger airbag also my seat belt has stopped working.

Hi, and welcome to FF,

Glad you are well enough to type

AFAIK it's a new dash panel needed..

the seatbelt will have a pre-tensioner that's also been deployed.

Why replace them yourself.. surely anything that severe will involve insurance?

Search of Panda , or Technical sections will give good results

I thought the passenger 'bag bolted in from behind?

YES as a Unit.. but takes the "skin" of the dash with it..

Oh OK, It looks a separate unit on my wifes' Panda.

Is is NOT a new dash thats required, only the airbag module for the passenger side. You'll also need to replace BOTH front seatbelts as its sounds like the pretensions have fired, and any rear belts that were being worn at the time.

Before buying all these though check that the chassis leg(s) haven't bent, if they have then the car is a scrapper realistically so won't be worth repairing
