You honestly think his typical punter knows that?

He'll probably just attach the light to the injector light wires so it comes on and goes off with that.

Although given who it is I suspect the airbag is the least of any prospective owners problems.

Did you really need to give him ideas?

Airbag light isn't part of the MOT, you'd never get a 306 through if it was!

*sigh*

No doubt a troll post, but with your track record what d'you think will happen with this thread now with you having said that?

Considering there is a 'light check' when you first turn the car over . . . .

Check your plugs. Its common for the seat ones to loosen or disconnect as passengers can kick them.

This I bought my car with the airbag light on when I got home just plugged back in the seat plug

problem solved.

Airbags aren't a problem, ABS would be.

I would have thought you have a friendly MOT tester..
