Thanks Sid, well found and sorted.

Perhaps you should add 'Fixed' to your title, as in 'air bag light - fixed'. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015)

(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

Abs light on

Hi Sid what I would do is to check the other front seat and put a cable tie through to double secure it, a popular fault with many of today’s cars.

Yes, the airbag light is often (usually even?) a loose connection.
btw never fiddle with the connectors with the ignition on. Danger of setting the whole thing off. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

Mines LHD, if anyone moves the passenger seat the air bag light comes on, to turn it of I have to slide the the seat forwards and back a few times quite hard. I assumed loose/dodgy connection, Thanks for this, I'll have a look. Thumbs Up
