Hi all, I have a 2001 320 R129, the passenger airbag light started to come on recently, sometimes it goes off if someone sits in the passenger seat but otherwise stays on most of the time. I am guessing the occupancy sensor/mat that is in the seat base may possibly be at fault, has anyone got...

hi there, the car is a 52 reg so face lift model, fog lights are on both sides, it did work ok when i first replaced the bulbs but now the fog light fillament is on all the time when lights switched on, switching the fog light switch makes no difference, the lights just stay on.
