This is becoming farcical. My cooper went into the dealer's (Synter in Stratford) before Christmas to have several teething problems sorted out - incl cracked windscreen, blown front n/s speaker, jumping CD player, grinding front brakes, the airbag light 'extinguished'; they seemed to have sorted everything out (though my car was delivered back to my home minus its aerial), and they just put the airbag problem down to 'a dodgy circuit in one of the pre-tensioners'. Then what happens two weeks later? The light comes back and the car's got to go back to the garage again.
What I'd like to know is this: Does the airbag light being on denote that the bags are actually disarmed, or is it simply an indication that something's wrong in the circuit? If it's the latter, I might just learn to live with the red light being on (as I did for the first 3 months of the car's life!) |
