@nefarious If the airbag light goes on and off chances are it is the passenger seat mat sensor, that is about the only fault that can occur and not cause the light to stay on permanently.
It detects someone sitting in the passenger seat so if it is empty it only fires the drivers airbag, if it goes faulty and cannot sense anyone sitting there it defaults to firing both any way just in case someone is sitting there :)

Cool, any ideas how to sort the light? Easy to wire through to permanent on? It's an MOT fail if it's on so I'm keen to get it sorted.

Another BMW question - my E61 (manual) sometimes jumps out of 1st when you go to pull away. Seems to happen a lot more in hot weather (and when Mrs Hammer is driving) - any reason for this inconsistency? Could it be solved by a gearbox oil change?

This may be a stupid question, was the car one owner and one driver so the drivers seat was in one position till it was traded in? If that is the case try is the wiring loom connector under the seats. Clean the contacts with contact cleaner and make sure all the contacts sit in the connector correctly and make decent contact with low resistance.
