You're going to have to get it done at some point so I'd get it out of the way now! Airbag light shouldn't cause a fail as not part of test

It shouldn't fail MOT with Airbag light on. It's usually very easy to fix (connectors under the seat) but you need a computer to delete fault code.
Where about are you?

im not so sure now. been out all morning, done about 30 miles altogether and when i checked the oil level it was a bit low, seems i have some mayo on top of the cap and the sides of the filler neck. losing a bit of water too but not a lot. have only drove the car a few times since xmas and it seems very smokey to me, was a slight smell of petrol too. im wondering if hg is on way out or just lots of condensation in engine from cold weather we have been having.    :'( :-/
