Airbag fault has appeared on my 2000 RR 4.0. It goes off periodically but as
soon as a portly person sits in the passenger seat it comes back on again.
Is it a faulty sensor somewhere deep in the passenger seat?

Is that some kind of irrigation treatment for the passenger or a fix for the
car?

Just re-read that, it will be the pretensioners connector i'll bet.

A pretentious connector? Sounds like who?

Thanks Nige. Seems to have gone away now maybe someone gave the belt a good
yank and sorted it

Seatbelt pretensioners are a known weak spot in the system. I've had a
couple go on Discos - it's not a biggie.
