Nice my last car was an 06 Type S, still miss it sometimes. Nice car to drive and still a great looking car imo.

Considering there was plenty of brown envelopes going around within NCT centres, the last thing it needs is being ran by local garages!

If that's the case then all the doe's centres must be full of brown envelopes.
But there's no evidence of that happening.

If there is no other way of getting it off, drove a screwdriver through it and turn it then.

Another helpful tip from Peter's rough out tips

I have one by the way but it's a hure of a trek!

Unfortunately It was the only way it came off, may invest in a filter remover

Anyone know if it's possible to get rid of an airbag warning light on a 2007 BMW 3 series without bringing it to a dealer? I've gone through the menus, disconnected the battery but nothing worked and from what I can see online, at least in the US, the only way to do it is with software or by a dealership.

Do you want it to be fixed or by-passed?

When you pulled out the seats and put them back in did you plug everything back in?
I'm going to guess you did.

Any decent indy dealer should be able to do it a lot cheaper than BMW. In fact if you're already a good customer he would probably do it gratis.

There is no problem per sé. I removed the seats today and when I had everything back in and connected up, I started the car and this appeared.

You guessed correct

Yeah but that means waiting until Monday or Tuesday

Would it be possible do you think? Usually software doesn't work between certain cars by the same manufacturer, let alone different ones.

Talk about crap being in shops early for christmas, my car has decided to put up its tree already!
