Title: Tech2 in Staffordshire? (or Solihull)
Post by: Jester on 20 October 2006, 08:09:14
Just driven to work and had the airbag light pop onto the dash.  Not quite sure why - I was driving along smooth (well smoothish - we are still talking inside the UK) motorway and the little red light came on.
I bought the car just after it had been sorted out and got told not to disturb the wiring loom underneath the front seats, but the car was like a pigsty so I cleaned it.  Maybe moving the seats backwards and forwards to get the hoover and cloths in might have done it.

Anyway - basically - is there anyone around Stafford or Solihull (the two places I travel between) that could help me with resetting the airbag light?

Cheers!!

A little far from me.

I found cheapo tech2 lead could reset airbag light, though on my 98 MV6 couldn't actually read the code. Bound to be someone with the lead not too far from you...   ...afaik, I'm the only one here with a real Tech2.

Hope so!  ;)

Otherwise I might be tempted to just buy one of those cheap Tech 2 leads myself, although rumour has it that it needs a fairly beefy PC to run it smoothly.  As PC's go I've got one that would be outperformed by most people's wrisidiotch   ;D

If anyone DOES know of a Tech 2 in Solihull, I would appreciate knowing too. I've got the 'retrofit cruise control' bug and will need tech 2 to activate it.  ;)
