Iv just had a bit of a accident on my car about a hour ago. Had to swerve out the way of some f***y on my side of the road. Hit a kerb quite hard and set of the passenger set airbag and the left roof air bag. Now the engine wont start. Any help would be great i.e where to buy second hand airbags and also how to get ma baby started. Their doesn't seem to be and damage at all except a cracked alloy. Everyone is fine just a bit shaken and the police have also been round.

Should be the inertia switch, top right side under the bonnet, red, if im right you just push it and the engine should start again.

Insurance claim time as the repair bills gonna be expensive.
Multiplexed airbags take a HARD / HEAVY impact to fire them, to also trigger the fuel cut out on a multiplexed 206 = 99.9% something wil be bent.

I have a guy from Peugeot coming round the mora he's going to plug in the laptop and see the damage. Im not to concerned with the cost i love my car and will pay what is needed to get it back to normal. It is on the ramps the now and their seems to be no damage not leeks or bends not even a flat Tyre. Im going to have a look for the full cut off switch now. Ill let yous now how i get on.

yeap well their ain't a cut of switch on the 180 but i removed the airbag module and it started straight away. Its at the garage now and all that i need to fix is a alloy and replace the passenger seat airbag and the passenger roof airbag. Well could of been worse i suppose!
