Bigger problem I'm having at the moment is finding a replacement airbag module. Plenty of right but not left.

Yeah that's the only one I can find. However it's like £20 more than I wanted to pay really. No guarantee these modules will work and I'd rather have it from a car that is known to not been scrapped because it's airbag light was on.

If it was Renault engineered, you could slap in a replacement module without needing to code or reflash the bastard. Probably wouldn't even need to go as far as clear the codes to extinguish the warning light either. Plug in and all fixed.

Just the water ingress bit of the engineering.

Anyway good luck. With the IPNA+ or whatever you might find the box works, but it just hasn't been coded or cleared.

I've got a Jizz airbag module that doesn't work. I think the car got a jump start too many before I got it and that borked it. I just threw the one in off the crashed car and it's been fine ever since. Must see if the HDS can talk to it and clear it, or if it needs my local friendly mileage correction specialist to wipe the data off it.

I've owned numerous Hondas. Always thought about buying a HDS knock-off (Honda Diagnostic System for those don't know - dealer tool) but never actually needed one...

I could say the same about lots things, but you can never have enough tools, especially automotive ones.

(I think I bought it as I was going to mess around with keys and the immobiliser.)

Gone. Sold to a AS forum frequenter.
Will be one of the cars that I miss.
