Yep, the airbags do need resetting, but I think Damo said if you disconnect the battery for around 3 hours, it has the same effect - see the JCW Seats Group Buy Thread.........

As part of the Debate on the resistor. A Gentleman im leaving nameless that work for MINI who Races Autox with his mini also has replaced the seats. when asked about the airbag issue he showed me the 2 ohm resistor that was placed to fool the airbag sensor and not the 4 ohm as brought up in the Debates on this issue. Which the Seats are in the works to be replaced on mine soon.
