   needs a diagnostic check with a diagnostic machine will have to be done at a garage unless you know someone with one. and it isnt a fail is a advisory

   only thing is if i take it to the local gargae they charge 45euros a hour and the way money is at the minute i cant afford it , the previous owner did say that this girfriend at the time pissed him off and he took it out on the drivers airbag punched it 10 times quite aparently but i still think its the passanger side airbag

   it wont need a diagnostic, it will be the pre-tensioners under the driver or passenger seats thats causin it,sometime givin them a wiggle or dissconecting them and puttin the back on cures it

   Have you considered just getting an after market steering wheel and just simply taping over the light?
