Speaking of which I need to get a 22k resistor and a 1n4007 diode for a bmw seat |
I could send ya some for free if you can't be bothered to go to Maplin..

I might have some in my box, got loads of different things in there, I'll have to check.
Nah, turning airbag light off. Doing it so it thinks the seat is occupied all the time, then at least the airbag will always deploy

OK.
What about the seat-belt reminder.. Will that not kick-in everytime if it thinks the seat is occupied?

Damn you, should have guessed. 
Taxis use just a bare-clip locked-in over here.. 
Anyway, sorry to the OP for side-tracking.
Please carry on.

Well I got back to find the battery completely flat. After some advice earlier in this post I turned the headlights on, connected the jump leads and started the car with no problems at all, so all this nonsense about possibly frying the BSI seems a bit over the top to me. Oh by the way Ive had to buy a new battery as the old one was as flat a roadkill on a country lane and wouldn't charge, so hopefully I wont have to jump start again.
