Update on this - i sourced a 2nd hand lateral airbag sensor (just behind the courtesy light in the passengers door) and fitted it.  (10 euro in the local scrapyard :-) )

The light hasn't switched off but i'm heading to the garage tomorrow for him to reset it.

FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Bad news, fault still showing and it won't clear.  Fault is 'lateral airbag sensor'.

So wiring checked and ok, sensor replaced and problem still there.

My mechanic reckons that it must be the airbag ecu - what do you think guys?

Which sensor, there is one each side.

passenger.  I've heard from another mechanic that some code readers can get confused between LHD & RHD cars and it could be talking about a LHD passenger sensor, which would mean the drivers side of my car - thoughts?

incorrect.

i'm really at a loss with this now.  Not my preferred option but I am looking at wiring in some sort of resister to fool the light so I can get the NCT, i'll be telling anyone buying the car in the future that the airbags don't work. 

I hate it when a problem beats me, but ploughing money into it isn't worth it
