   I need to change my drivers seat. Went to do it but the clip for the wire under the seat had been taken off and sellotaped together. Will the airbag go off it i cut it? My airbag light flashes anyway. I really need to change it because it is caving in.

    Saxo airbags dont deploy anyway.

    Best thing to do is spray some duck oil or WD40 on all of the bolts and leave it for a while and then they will free really easy. When you put the bolts back in put some grease on them so the next time you take them out they will come out really easy.
    
    Also make sure you have the correct size torque bit as if its to small you may cause damage to the head.
