The air bag light comes on when it feels like it. I've pushed the plug in but then I noticed if I raised the seat it would go out. And stay out until someone altered the seat.
So with baited breath I took the V8 for it's MOT. And the car failed on rear number plate being out of alignment.
What?
Well as luck would have it the new 'Smilely' plate was on the back seat waiting to be fitted. So they fitted that and the car passed.
And the air bag light came on because the tester altered the seat, he made a note about it, but it's not an MOT failure.
And the other advisiorer was, the undertray is covering some of the components that should be visible.

Now, that's what I call nitpicking Bob, numberplate out of alignment

As to the undertray, I did warn against making a 12 foot by 5 foot one from MDF

Of course the correct undertray may be sourced at

Oh but I didn't use MDF on the undertray, I had some wood left over from an MFI unit, so I used that. Thought the 6" nails would hold it in place.

Nice to meet you last Sunday.

At least the handbrake was ok

Possibly not a good idea to nail through the rear discs then
