Have we ever !!

This is a big issue with mainly pre-July 2004 cars , usually caused by dodgy connections of the airbag loom under the passenger seat. If you`ve got any kind of warranty on your car then the loom is usually replaced for one with better connections.

Theres a big thread on this issue HERE

Check the codes if someone is local and I can bet as mentioned before that its the wiring loom.

Hi,
THanks, but how do i check the codes ? it's just a light that comes on

Any idea how much a loom is ?

Unless you are covered by warranty it is much cheaper to buy the B200 SRS reset tool for £50 off ebay and read the code from this tool, then put the light out. If it stays on or comes back clean or solder the offending under seat wiring connectors.
If the code reads the seat belt buckle is at fault (more unusual ) this can be more expensive and complex to fix.

What he said.... ^^ You need to use an airbag code reader
