Ta for the info. I got a quote from the local LR garage for replacement of both airbags, including labour and VAT..... £2870.36 Yes nearly three grand! Two grand for the bits and the rest labour and VAT. Suffice to say I wont be getting them replaced! If it was a couple of hundred I might have considered it but that is way too expensive. Do we know if the seatbelts are different in airbag and non-airbag cars? I know airbags in the USA are more powerful because they dont wear seatbelts, are the seatbelts similar? Do seatbelts in airbag cars have to do less restraining?

When mine goes Ill be going for one of those shiny vortex ones. I read a review of em in a (non-landrover enthusiast ) magazine (I guess I can say that now!) and they clean out the engine and give a bit more HP. They are pricey though so Im going to wait untill I need one! They were selling em at Billing for a bit cheaper, but still they were pricey. But oif they do what it says on the packey then I think it would be worth it for the extra power and MPG....

My Disco is getting to be 10 years old now... I read that its recommended that Airbags should be replaced after 10 years. My Haynes manual says (and I paraphrase ) "keep well away, pay Landrover to do it!" I guess that I dont really need to get them done untill about five minutes before I hit that brick wall...anyway has anyone any good advice on this issue, to replace or not. Do the units leak air which makes them less effective over time, or is this just Landrover covering their asses incase of failure? Have you had them done? (Plus, first post in 'the new place', like it here!)
