My air bag light keeps flashing, I noticed it after I parked with the wheel fully locked anti-clockwise, and it seems to start flashing if I have to turn the wheel more than 2 rotations...this might just be coincidence but i thought I'd mention it.
Can I still drive? of is it likely to go off, I really can't afford any repairs right now =(
I changed the steering wheel and air bag loom about 9 months ago, and it's been fine, so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
Any ideas?
I did search, but I could only read one page, then I got this...

Sounds like the loom might be coming just loose enough when you turn the wheel for it to loose its connection and throw a fault up in the ecu. Needs the codes reading to be sure though unless you want to pull the wheel off and check all the connections.

But it's not a huge problem though, I can still drive it about tonight and fix tomorrow.
I know that's not the best attitude to have, but I just can't be arsed today.

Toooooo dark 
If you removed your MFD and climate control, you'll be surprised at just how dark it can get.
