Have now fitted my leather interior

[tunnie]

might as well get them to do a fault code reading while its plugged in, check for any errors and get them to tell you what they are.

Looks excellent  8-) good luck with the fault code.

. Did your old seats have the side airbags? If so your leather looks to be from a pre facelift and won't have the side bags which would be the cause of the airbag lights.

Mine's a PRE face lift T reg 99 and I have pyrotechnics in my seats!

I think side airbags came in on the mini facelift around 1997

[TheBoy]

side bags came in mini facelift (MY 98).

I've been robbed then.

I have a set going with side airbags!!!

How strange is this then - my old N reg elite had side airbags!

Re what else to get checked on Tech2 at dealers....

What about ensuring cruise is enabled so all you need is the stalk, assuming that its not already fitted?

cos unless you're driving a fly-by-wire throttled car you need more than just the stalk. There's a seperate actuator and ECU on cars that have a throttle cable.

...Leather set from a 2003 and does have side airbags...

That would be very very unusal... side airbags were standard on ALL facelift models including GLS....

2.6/3.2 are FBW. Early facelifts (i.e. 2000) were still 2.5/3.0 hence no FBW.
