Not sure on that one? :conf

Check the electrical connectors under both front seats as this might be the cause of the air bag light being on?

Hi Mark,

According to https://www.motester.co.uk/mot-qanda2.html Airbags are not part of the MOT Test. I've seen this on two websites now so hopefully will be the case for you.

Good luck :cool:

Actually dude i phoned my local MOT center (N.Ireland - Belfast) and they said there is only one dash board light they fail on and thats the ABS light! My MOT is tomorrow night and my airbag light is on.

On a different note, does anyone know how to change the High Level Brake Light on the back window? Hand book says to take it to the dealers but i dont want to pay those robbing B@$t@rd$ anything.

Cheers
