Hi....welcome to the Forum

You could try a reputable company who sell secondhand squib rings that would be perfectly useable and safe to fit

A few on eBay but which ones to trust, well not sure about that one

Hi, thanks for the reply ive already tried ebay and they  have still got my money and no part, do you know if you have to get them coded or is it just plug and play thanks

it will be plug an play, once you have reconnected the battery the system will recognise the correct resistance and accept it for use.

All airbags can be fitted by yourself as long as the battery has been disconnected for around 30 minutes to allow any electrical charge to dissipate.

The SRS system looks for a resistance when the ignition is switched back on and as long as it finds the correct resistance then it the light will go out and the system becomes active.

I have never encountered any sort of coding required to fit replacement SRS components.

Thanks for the reply, what he was saying is that the sqib wheel will have to be coded even though its the same part

not sure....but one way to find out, fit it and see if the light goes out

may need to clear any stored codes (if any)
