VOLVO S40 SE DIRECT INJECTION SALOON 1834CC (2001) PETROL MANUAL

The dashboard SRS warning light is indicating a fault on the system. I've had it checked by the garage and been advised that there is no 'resistance' in the airbag. The seat airbag needs replacing to remove the fault but I'm unable to find a new seat.

However, I have located a passenger seat online that is for sale and was wondering if the airbags are the same in both seats and if the bag in the passenger seat could be removed and used to replace the faulty one in the drivers seat.

If anyone knows where I may be able to locate replacement seat it would be appreciated.

Does any know if the vehicle will fail an MOT with the fault light showing. I know that driver safety is compromised with the fault but it will give me more time to locate a replacement seat if the MOT isn't an issue.

Thanks
