My 2003 HDI blew her drivers seat airbag after sliding on ice (wow what a smell for so little excitement!) - replaced the unit but I can't reset the dash warning lamp with the freebie software - local garage is saying it's a £3k ECU replacement............... options??????

you need to replace the airbag ecu and have it configured to the car. no where near 3k. or you could find one at a breakers as long as no airbags have been activated and then have it programmed to suit your car. if you can get one from a car with the same spec as yours it would be a straight swap (no config needed).

is it worth a repair one must ask? are airbags safe? what did we do before they were fitted? why is is it not mandatory in the UK,

 

1/. they cannot be considered reliable because the only way to test them is in an accident and 90% don't deploy when they should ( look at the breakers yards for this result ) you will get a shock,

 

2/. why do only very expensive cars have a proven kit what wrong with ordinary people?,,

 

3/. do they do the job and what are seat belts supposed to do.

 

I call it a safety overkill and only the makers make cash out of it ( ask them to put a guarantee on them and they would pass out
