Passenger seat airbag and rear seatbelt issues, help please



  Arctic 182FF
Last month i hit a kerb rather hard, blowing out 2 tyres and setting off the passenger seat side airbag. Since replacing the tyres and broken wheel i just tucked the airbag back into the seat as a temporary measure until i found another seat. Does anyone know where I could find a cheap seat that would match the pattern design of my car? Also the seat belt pretensioner has snapped at the bottom but still works fine. The rear passenger seat on the left's seatbelt has completely jammed too. Airbag warning light is on, is there any way to disable this? will it just turn off if i replace the seat?

All activated parts will need replacing, ensure to get this professionally or make sure battery has been disconnected from the car for ten minutes

The airbag ecu will have a crash code stored in them. U can either take this out yourself and send it to a company off eBay to erase the crash code or go into Renault and they will tell you that you need a new ecu for mega bucks £££££

How did you fix the seatbelt? I've seen someone on eBay who resets the ECU for £30, which would turn off the light

i could sell you a new airbag ECU for £20 posted ;)

go to a strap yard for the seat and hope to find one thats not gone off.

all the safety equiptment is not designed to be actived more than once so personally id pick up new pretensioners, seatbelts if you want to retain the safety features of the car!!

benkay it won't let me see the link you posted, most probably because i'm not a full member yet, how much are you selling them for? Thanks

Getting a new front seat (finally) anyone know if i'd be able to fit it myself or will it need doing professionally? Do i have to replace ECU before replacing the seat? Finally how would I go about replacing the rear seatbelt which has locked up?
