The air bag light has come on now just about to go for a retest tried the tec 2 telling me its the squib behind the steering,
any know the price of these, is it a diy job or a garage job thanks.

I have replaced many clock-springs, but never in Omega. Usually special tool is needed, which is about $20

Dont neeed one of those.It justs makes it a bit easier. ;)
If you need the whole airbag unit ? I would imagine they are very expensive.On the other habd,a second hand one might not be 100% relibale if you need it. I have a second hand one if thats a route your considering.

Thats the "Contacter"
Squib is the pyro part.
OP - what was the code, and was it "PRESENT"?

Although, in case of High Resistence Drivers Squib, I'd change the contacter.

Sounds obvious but make sure you disconnect the battery and leave it for 5 mins before messing about with the airbag connections ::)
