I'm in Kildare if there's anyone with the tool nearby it would be a great help.

One thing to note is if you switched from single stage airbag to dual stage or vice versa you need to code the MRS module to suit. A simple 'code reader' will not do this

It was the Msport steering wheel that was put in, if that's any help.
I think I might just have to that the day off and drop it in to someone.

if its the facelift round bag wheel you put in you have nothing to worry about it will be dual stage only pre march 99 (old shape wheel) was single stage

The car is a pre March '99 build date and it should be a single stage prefacelift m tech wheel that's fitted. The airbag light came on after I had fitted it.

ah so thats were the 528 went

did you fit it andy ? was the date on the airbag pre march 99 ?

Yea I've Andy's E39. I'll get some pics up soon enough. Thanks for that bit of info Andy.

Yep gone to a great home and the right kind of owner. I didn't actually check the bag date. I got it off DaveG and he said it was a single stage.

Was the battery connected when you fit it , if not how long was it disconnected before you set to work

If it is single stage and was installed in the correct way does the horn work geoff

Battery was disconnected for a few hours iirc.

In that case check the horn could be slip ring wiring

The horn works ok, just checked.
Hopefully it will be easy enough to clear.[/i]
