Thread: Service air bags?

HI,
Iasked a simmiliar question recently after purchasing a 2001 TD5 Discovery and in the owners manual it stated that the Airbags have to changed after 10 years.

But it seems that no one worries about doing it out here.

Maybe the UK is different to Aust, you dont here of any other Manufacturer telling you to replace airbags after a certain time period. ( at least I havent)

cheers

I just changed mine on a 2001 D2 td5. Very easy to do. Takes about 1 - 2 hours. The is a pdf ssomewhere on the site telling you how to do it. If you can;t find it et me know and I'll send it to you. Warning. The bags are not cheap but you could try Arnotts or the Air Bag Man.

Stewie.

think it is srs airbags being discussed here, also interested to hear on this one as also read that in the manual.

apart from usage,,
I dont think anyone has ever changed an airbag in any motor vehicle since inception.

[I think the main reason is the danger to DIY'ers,,, ]


I have read posts on here about people wanting to remove them,, but NOT about servicing them.

Anybody?

I have heard of the early mechanical type air bags "going off" in older cars in th USA.
Usualy old cars parked in peoples yards(unreg., not runing,you know the type).
Heat and age thing I was told.

Havn't heard of it with the electric fired ones but I don't mix in that circle anymore.

Cheers.
