Thanks again. I have left a message with the dealer. They wont be back til tuesday. Will see what happens then.
I'm near Penrith in NSW but the car was purchased in Brookvale. Can anyone recommend a mechanic near Penrith if the car dealer won't help?
KLR isn't it at Kingswood is probably the closest to you.
G'day Moet :)
The "Rave" that Blknight.aus is referring to is the"rave" CD available from the shop (up in gold border at top of page) which is for various models very compresensive.
cheers
Sound like it was a wiring or SRS ecu fault because the pretensioner needs a triggering voltage to fire the charge. You'll really need to get someone to check the SRS ECU codes to identify the root cause of the fault.
LR revised the replacement age of airbags/pretensioners on the D2 from 10 to 15 years. That would make replacement for 2001 D2 due in 2016 - a few years off still.Quote:

FWIW RACV claim they are yet to see evidence of older airbag systems failing to fire in an accident.
older airbags - RACV

And yes the vehicle should be fit for sale ie road worthy.
Is he an MTA dealer?
If every SRS vehicle on the road that is over 10 years old had its air bags replaced at 10 years of age i would be amazed.
