Not sure if you know or not but.. regarding the airbag light (and abs) if you disconnect the module fully you can then code the canbus controller to say it has no airbags.. no light on dash then. Works the same abs too which is how I did my rally car. Just saves keeping redundant wiring etc. Looking good tho

Didn't know that, was it the long coding you changed or just turned them all off? As I've turned off all the ones I've removed, regarding abs isn't the speedo off the abs sensor, how did you get round that?

Yes just reset the long coding but the modules have to be disconnected first otherwise it won't accept the coding.

I fitted a speed sensor in the gearbox and wired that to the dash. Think I had to add a pin and code the dash to say which speed sensor to look for. I'm using 02j gearbox so speed sensor mounting etc is already in place.

Cool the Fabia's got a blank in the gearbox where speed sensor should go, I'll have to look into this, did you get any faults with the crash sensors removed or does that not matter if the airbag modules gone?

Its like xmas every day mate, looks well clean a credit to you. Seems you were right on the work scene aswell.

No once the airbag module is gone and the Canbus is coded there are no faults mate I ripped lots of wiring out of mine Inc the leccy window and locking stuff. Car just thinks it's a Base model now lol

Interesting cheers I'll have to have a play the only electrics I have left is the stereo lol

Depends on how friendly you are with your MOT guy or how picky they are. In theory I believe there has to be an airbag present if one was fitted as standard (which all Fabias did). However I'm not sure if a tester would know or care. Especially given the obvious nature of the car.
