   Check the conectors under the seats for the seat belt tensioners.

   The light coming on is a common fault, there is an orange wire under the seat that trips it. Mine likes to turn on and off every now and again, usually when the seat is moved...

   My old VTR went through with the air bag light on, wasn't a fail but came up as an advisory
   
   I tried the orange connectors under the seat but it didn't turn the light out, gave up bothering in the end lol

   The wires you need to look at are directly under your drivers seat,unplug then plug in again do it a few times & hopefully your light will go out.

    It wont fail at the moment as said - but after the MOT revisions at the end of the year... any warning lights (Airbag / ABS / Power Steering / Traction Control) will be an MOT failure, which is fair enough I suppose. Id rather fail on that then a number plate light or summut.
