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.

You need to call up the fault memory to confirm the fault to see exactly what it is, usually a new seat mat and sometimes the small matchbox sized control box under the passenger seat.
I have heard of aftermarket resistor kits to plug in that people use when fitting non standard seats that don't have mats try googling them. :)

@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 :)
