Thread: SRS Airbag check at 10 years

Is the back end of your disco sagging? Particularly in the morning when it has been sitting for a few hours

If not should be okay still.

Is the compressor getting louder or laboring a lot. Any slow leaks in the bags will mean the compressor is working harder to keep every thing up.

Bags are relatively cheap (when ordered from UK or US) and are easy to install (do a search, lots of how to threads here) however I believe a compressor is expensive to replace if it burns out.

Think he means ther 1 in the case of a head on collision..

Congrtats on the purchase
The SRS air bags (in the dash and steering wheel) are listed at 10 years in my book too
I can't see as the passenger one would be an easy change, so I gave it all a miss.
I havn't been woried about mine but I'll be watching to see what replies you get.

Always though reading was not good for you wallet. Mmmm will have to check now.

SRS = supplementary restraint systems
SLS = Self Level Suspension

One keeps your backside out of the dirt and the other stops you from knocking your head against the dash/steering wheel.

Isnt the SRS light on the dash supposed to stay on when they are due?

I suppose you want me to go outside and check the manual to see if you are right?
