Strange thing!!!

[X-MENtal]

Hi guys,

if you have seen my post on new members, you will know that I took delivery of a 04 2.0 diesel x type on Monday past, I love car to bits and she is in superb condition.. 

 

I do have one small gremlin:

On motorway on way back up home (M6) I put cruise control on and the drivers airbag warning light started flashing, then stayed on all the time. when we stopped for diesel the light went out and stayed out, but every now and then it still does the same, starts flashing and then stays on. I haven't used the cruise control again as I thought that may be a cause.... but seemingly not.. 

 

Is this a common thing??? Is it something that can just be left?, I hate having warning lights on my dash, no matter what it is. 

 

Is this the sensor on the airbag and if so what is the fix???

 

Sorry for the barrage of questions, any help would be greatly appreciated..

Raymond.
