Just a little true story for you all. Driving my relations back to Stevenage, my SRS light came on the dash (seat belt and air bag warning). And whilst reversing into a parking space, I realised my reversing warning wasn't working. Driving home carefully in case I got a face full of talcum powder, I phoned my indie garage for an appointment. On arrival the car was put on the star diagnosis and found that the sensor for the rear n/s rear belt was faulty. This would mean a new belt system at the cost of £500 + vat + labour.
So, booked in for new belt.
This didn't answer the question of the reversing warning system so, the following day, I removed the rear side panel in my estate and found all the wires bitten through by some rodent. It had even eaten its way through a small grille underneath the rear of the car to get inside.. I now have to repair all the wiring and, it makes me think that it might just be a broken wire to the seat belt.
