    As far as i know, mot rules state that if a car is fitted with air bags, they must be in good working order. therefore, get rid of the bulb lol.

    An airbag saved my brother from what would have probably killed him. Utter nonsense to suggest all they do is bad, wouldn't have them if that was the case.
    
    Same goes for seatbelts, a friend of mine was in a coma for 2 weeks after crashing his RS turbo. There was 5 people in the car and 4 were practically untouched yet he nearly lost his live because his seatbelt held him in place and he took the impact of a lamppost. Yet i can guarantee plenty of people would go mental if i suggested you didn't wear a seatbelt.

    in the haynes modding saxo manual it talks about wiring 5 amp fuses into the connectors to fool the system into thinking they still there, then you can hide them under the seat
