Hi All

please could anyone advise if there are any other garages apart from main dealers in the midlands area that can have a look at my airbag system
I put my 2005 roadster through an MOT last week and she failed on the airbag light being on, naivley I thought this would not be such a big deal to fix HOW WRONG WAS I !!!

I have had it in 2 garages to have the diagnostics done but their computers won't talk to the airbag system, they have both had a look to see if they can see anything wrong with the wiring but they can't find anything obvious :-( fortunatley they were very nice and didn't charge me for this :-)

they both advised me to see if Chrysler will try to reset it, so on Friday off I went to Chrysler in Derby, I asked them if they could reset my airbag light, they had it for about one and a half hours and came back to me saying the system was throwing up error codes for both the driver and the passenger airbags had anyone been messing with them, I just told them I had it plugged in at other garages to find out the error codes and that's all, they then said they needed it again for about 3 hours so they can strip the seats out to look at the wiring, they didn't actually tell me if they had attempted a reset

Now a bit of background as to why i think the light may have come on, which I did tell Chrysler,

I've not had a bump so it can't be that, but a few months ago I had water coming in the passenger footwell I think it might be the drainage problem when it rains and pipe maybe blocked so it overflows into the footwell, well since then my stereo speakers have been crackling and going off and on intermittantly and then my airbag light started to flicker and has eventually decided to stay on permenantly, so I'm wondering if this water might have interfered with the airbag wiring

Unfortunatley I'm a bit loathed to send her to a main dealer as I have been ripped off before by a ford main dealer many years ago, and I'm not getting a warm fuzzy feeling from the Derby dealer, I asked them for an estimate of how much it will cost for them to have her for 3 hours to take the seats out to check the wiring and I'm still waiting for the answer !

So if there is anyone out there in the Derby / Midlands area that is specialises in Crossfires I would much prefer to take it to them to have a look at, the only problem being I need to have it sorted before next Monday to put it back in for the MOT Retest

Help, advice or just the name of a good repair place would be much appreciated
