.............The problems with a 1998 9-5 are: Airbag warning light stays on, steering wheel controls for radio etc and horn work only sometimes (seldom, tbh) Is there a quick fix that will cure this? Its the dreaded MOT time coming up soon, so i need the horn to work, but i have a feeling all the above are interconnected and hopefully easy (ish) to fix.

Slip rings need sorting if that's what are used most likely ? Shouldn't be a big problem. I expect they just need cleaning.

If you can't, I'll take it off your hands for a modest sum ! ;~)

Sounds like a problem with the clock-spring or the wiring to it on either side. My money would be on the clock-spring itself since, if it's the same as the 9-3, the horn/audio wiring is on separate connectors to the airbag wiring.
Of course, you might want to leave any jobs that involve handling the airbag to someone else. I set one off once for a laugh and I decided there and then, that I was going to try to avoid having any car crashes in future!
Cheers,
Colin.

Graham,
If you want a 9-5 estate 2.0 lpt with a possible smoking turbo ... something can be arranged for a lowish sum :-D
