I want to take the bulb out, and if memory serves its possible to, for want of a better expression, have a little reach around and remove it.

Can anyone tell me what i do and dont need to undo/take off to get enough space to get a hand in there??

Its a rallye, so only 1 airbag, but yes, it went with the wheel - I'm with with fixed buckets (so no pre-tension circuit) and harnesses now.

You can get the instrument panel out with just removing the top steering column cover 2 x 15 Torx, and the instrument surround 2 x 10 Torx, 2 x 15 Torx. The panel has 3 x 15T holding it on and two leads/cables which have a hinge/latch holding them on.

Wiggle it past the steering wheel to get at the bulbs.

Take the center console out and the bit directly under the dash if that makes sense where the ash tray etc is, the ECU is there.

Just put a 2.7 ohms resister in the airbag plug, that way the light will come on and go off as normal, resister will cost you 16p from maplin or the likes.

nope, the 306's system is pretty much standalone so you can bin the whole lot if you aren't using any components.

Shouldn't be an MOT issues as its been adapted for a specific purpose, i.e race car rally car etc.

How does this work for the new mot laws that are coming into force? Think it's going to be a fail for airbag and engine management lights being on, not 100% sure tho

This is confirmed?

I have removed all airbags and ECUs from mine and I have the airbag light on constant (See avatar pic Laugh)

Not an MOT fail if I remove the bulb?

looking at the manual there doesn't seem to be a clause for adapted vehicles like there is with seats and a few other bits Hmm

this needs a call to VOSA I think

given the airbags are not present I would remove the bulb indeed, but you might be pulled up for not having any airbags...

Cheers mate, will go ahead and remove the bulb.

Im sure I can explain to the friendly MOT tester that it has no airbags and instead has buckets/harnasses/rollcage for safety.. should be ok.
