SRS (airbag supplementary restraint system)
Whatever problem I fix in my Rover 214Si (P reg new shape), another one very quickly rears its ugly head. Now the SRS warning light sometimes comes on while I'm driving (not all journeys) and stays on until I turn off the engine. The owner's manual says "The light illuminates when the starter switch is turned to position II and extinguishes within approximately six seconds." [Yes it does do this every time, just fine.] "If the light fails to illuminate, or illuminates once the engine is started, the system is faulty - seek qualified assistance urgently."
This is a vague yet disconcerting statement. Does it mean my airbag might balloon out at any moment, or might NOT pop out when it's supposed to?!
Any help much appreciated. I'm beginning to get getting really pissed off with this car. More trouble in 2 years than all other cars I've ever owned combined. My gut feeling is get rid of it soon.
Best regards,
Paul
