I'm pulling both seats and steering wheel out (putting buckets and race wheel before I get any cocky replies) and I'm thinking I might as well remove all the wiringHow do I go about it and once I've removed it how do I stop the airbag light from showing? ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

Yeah but since I'm stripping it all out I want to take out all the wiring. Is there a control box for it as well? Less weight!________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected! Project Thread Looking for: VTS P1 Rack PR1.2 16" |

You don't need a light for something that isn't there... If they test an old motor they don't look for an engine management light do they? ! |

You don't need a light for something that isn't there... If they test an old motor they don't look for an engine management light do they? ! I'm not 100% sure ....but old cars that don't have them or never have.... is fine !!! If your car has had or should have ...will that be different ?.....I'm not sure ? I would defo find out first .!!!! If a Car had a Cat & you took it off & it passed emissions ...would you still need one ?????......Anybody know 100%  Just found this !!!!wee mac wrote: you could do it the proper way and put in a resistor or you could do it the cowboy way and take the LED out... But as the VOSA states VOSA - MOT Inspection Manual wrote: check that all airbags fitted as original equipment are present and not obviously defective. So it would mean having to put the old seats back in and removing the resistor every year for the MOT vorsa also states that if a car has been modified to such an extent, some of the critierior (such as having standard airbag) doesnt apply. my car will have two bucket seats, rollcage (as long as it gets delivered in time), harnesses, strut brace, steering wheel. therefore they mot it under track car rules. but only problem is that even in track cars you cant have light on dash im not going to remove the led, im going to cover it with black tape for the Hope that helps |

if its obvious that the car is modified for a specific purpose, i.e its a rally car, then stuff like removed Airbag systems, Fixed bucket seats etc are allowed.As for the CAT, if its post 92/3 and it was built with one it has to stay now, they have changed the rules on that but yes in theory you used to be able to get a car through an MOT without a cat IF it still passed the emissions test. the airbag wiring is pretty much all self contained orange cabling, so pretty easy to trip out and pop the bulb out. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

That's the answer I was looking for. I'll have my snips out on the weekend then! ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!
