Clio DCI
Just bought a 2002 Clio DCI 80bhp (FDSH) with a few minor problems...
Airbag and service light's are on due to a side bump previously, and the passenger seat airbag was deployed at some point. The car hasnt been accident repaired, infact it hasnt been repaired at all, as there is a small scrape/dent on the passenger side (doesnt look like much). Regardless, the seat has since been resewn and doesnt look bad at all. I want to know if there is any way in which i can get the lights off the dash turned off, without having to replace the seat... Is there anyway i can just disconnect that seat from the airbag system, or fool the system into believing that the seat is ok, as i still have other airbags working.
Also the seatbelt plug tensioner has also been activated, so it has been pulled tought, is there anyway i can reverse the motor to get it untight, or is it a replacement job? Or could it possibly get through MOT as it is, as i can still plug/unplug the belt into it fine.
Also i was planning to replace the factory steering wheel with an aftermarket hub/wheel without airbag, so is it worth doing this before resetting the lights via renault if thats the only option.
Also i need to replace a rear passenger side seatbelt as its jammed, whats the earliest model of clio i can nick a seatbelt out of that will fit the same mounts as my 2002 5door?
last but not least, i seem to have a leaky sunroof, ive looked into removing the sunroof out, which doesn't look that complicated, is it best to renew the rubber, or to refit the exsisting rubber along with some nasty black silicone?
I knew about these problems before buying the car, but it was a bargain, and i knew these problems would need to be looked at as soon as possible.
