Mini Cooper, R50, 2003
Changed driver's seat with failed height adjuster for a used one off ebay. Transferred seatbelt pretensioner over to replacement seat but seat warning/airbag light now stuck on. Comes on with ignition, when engine started goes out briefly then stays on.
Googling suggests unplugging the pretensioner has stored a fault code in the control unit which now needs to be cleared and I might have avoided this by disconnecting the battery first :-(
Is there anyone in the Wirral/Liverpool area who can reset this in exchange for beer vouchers, please? As far as I can work out, it can't be done with an OBDII tool, it needs the specific airbag reset tool which also works on some BMWs.
Main stealers want 80 quid+ just to read the code.
Cheers.
ps. if I leave it, is it an MOT failure?
