Well, after a long time of being intermittant....
looks like my side airbag has finally given up the ghost.
I used to be able to clean up the connection, and get a few months of no fault, then back from 2.x to 6.x Ohms, clean, and sorted again.
Now it is seconds between cleaning, resetting and fault recoccuring.
So its time for a permanent fix.
So, realistically can't see me getting a replacement side airbag (early mini-facelift type), so exactly what type of resistor will I need to fool the system? (and don't suppose anyone has one lying around? :y seems you can only buy packs of em)
Cheers

Actually, I have a couple available. What colour do you need?
-
Airbags that is, I have some spare side airbags!
Also have resistors as well come to that ........... ramble, ramble
-
it is black & silver with a yellow push in, then push a clip in to lock if that makes sense?
just put the seat back together, but can do a photo if needs be?
-
Guess that as you say it normally reads 2ohms, then 2 ohms ;D
Enough people getting rid of cloth seats, somebody must have a spare airbag (which would be better option)
-
No, sorry the colour of the outer bit - black, light grey, beige etc ..
The coloured bit is moulded into the fabric holder & the whole things needs to be swapped out.

ahhhh, its black

I am led to beleive there are different connector types too

I am sure that is not a massive issue for a knowledgable person such as yourself?
-
Have just thought - MV6 seats were only in black! DOH
Let me have a look & see what I've got in black then sir :y
I need to pop down to the garage, but will be on line later this evening :y

I've only ever seen one type on mini facelift & also supplied some for a guy with a facelift. There is a connector on the bag itself and one under the main seat connector block, these are all in a fetching yellow colour.
-
cheers, youve certainly seen more than I have...
Im sure I remember something about the early mv6's (ie with TC button by radio) had a different connector
-
I could understand pre mini facelifts having different connectors, except:
1) No MV6s then
2) No side airbags
Thats not really helping, is it ;D
-
there are 3 types listed in EPC, each superceeding the last, so guess its make the current style fit ;D

That would lead me to think that the are the same connector, or they supply a new connector, so no problem to join.

Right, I've had a look and can advise as follows:
I've got 2 drivers side seat airbags, a grey and a black.
The coloured covers DO prise off very easily, so you could take the grey one from me, swap the covers over & chuck the grey cover away. Or, take the black one from me.
So, whats a fair price? How does £15 inc recorded delivery sound?
There are some on ebay - but they are facelift and actually look different?

sounds reasonable, dont suppose you could chuck a photo of em up? (airbag side showing, rather than trim)
Cheers

new one fitted and working fine, Cheers :y
