No point in starting a new thread, as it's the same car. I have had an intermittent airbag light come on and off for a few weeks, and it is now permanently on. MoT is in a few weeks and hope to get it sorted.
So far I have disconnected/reconnected the battery, reset the clocks, checked the seat belt connector under the drivers seat and the fuse is good. Anyone any ideas?

Try resetting the airbag with the plug under the dash?

Behind the clocks?
Yellow plug up in under the drivers footwell

I'll give it a look
So, I think the yellow plug you're speaking off is behind the plastic under the steering wheel that I can't figure out how to get to

it’s up under the dash not in the wheel

Source a spoon wheel and solder the light off one of the others. Maybe not helpful sorry dude.

A serviceable part or just replace? The steering wheel was changed to a Royal steering wheel before I bought the car, might that be worth an investigation?
Sorry for sounding stupid, I'm actually not mechanically inept, I just don't have the funniest feelings playing with airbags.
If all other plugs have been checked etc then it’s worth a look. I replaced mine when I had a ep3 and never had issues after
This is what it is here, (in behind the steering wheel)

@Gareth a handy way to work around it is to solder a resistor onto the plug and get the code off
Done it with my DC5 when I installed my Keys wheel

Couple of pence for a resistor, that'll do lovely.
I'm assuming the airbag will still deploy if the resistor is fitted?

The steering wheel one won't but the others will

I'll stick the resistor in to get it retested then find and fix the fault after.
