Got it sorted! That wire that was loose had unclipped from the back of the airbag, when looking at the airbag its not obvious where its from as it sits on a thin metal bar that goes around the whole circumference of the airbag.

You can see it on this photo on the bottom right next to the two yellow wires if you look carefully.

For some reason my wire for this was part of a seperate loom so when the airbag popped out it pulled this free.

Anyway thanks for offering to help Doc, hopefully someone will learn from my mistakes!  :tongue:

And after all that im not sure if i even like the O-shift GT's!!!  :grin:

Yer il get you some pics tomorrow if you want.

The light glows up from the behind the wheel and catches the lip at the top of them.

They look nice with the aluminium on the wheel they just stick up a bit too far for my liking!

They have got a really nice feel to them though, they are quite heavy aswell so they make the shifters feel a lot more responsive.
