Not really being au fait with the workings of airbags...should the airbag ever activate is it absolutely necessary to have it serviced or could it be switched off on a permanent basis

Many thanks

Just leave it as is and don't worry - it'll be just fine!

Actually that raises another question... the manual for my 820 says replace the airbag after 10 years. It's 10 years now... is there any point, as no doubt it'll have to be a Rover dealer and they'll charge a horrendous amount in labour charges?
