i -think- they need to be recalibrated anyway, remember reading something about them c0cking up when they're unplugged

Some days, if I was somebody else.. I'd kiss myself!

good result chap :afro:

re: the airbag light, did the donor have side airbags?.. you can code that out anyway, or stick tape over it, or take the bulb out :grin:

yeah they do have side airbags so that shouldn't be a problem - could simply be a loose connection or you need to cycle the ignition a couple of times for it to reset
