Thread: Bullbars on Discos

you can as long as your disco is old enough that airbags were factory option not standard I believe....however you can ignore that at your own risk

Yes to fitment, no without engineering the bar mounting points to gain approval for fitting to a SRS vehicle... Any insurance company will wipe their hands of you after an accident, especially if it involves any personal injury or death.

hey jc can you disconnect the air bags from the front???

Legally no, it is classed as tampering with a safety feature and will need some very good reason and an engineers report to get away with it.

Practically yes, it is as easy as unplugging the sensors on the front of the chassis rails on the MA D1, and the single point sensing system in MY1996 onward is located under the centre console.

I don't like SRS particularly myself, but I guess it does save more lives than if it wasn't there...

but as someone was saying before if it came out as a factory option then whats the go??? i know some guys who have the 95 d1300tdi but no air bags, think its ike a povo pack??
sorry mate just sent you a private msg about the same question.
cheers simon

Wouldn't think the bar it self would be different.
l'd think the chassis to bar brackets would be different, S2 with air bag has the concitina section.
Also believe the D1 and early D2s had same width chassis rails, latter D2 was wider. Don't know change date, sorry.
Do I detect a change of vehicle, should be all right now the heads done !!!

yeah was told by jc that it would fit but got the prob of airbags, was thinking of unpluging them when i fitted the bar.

Airbag and non airbag bars are different, the srs bar has concertina style mounting brackets.
