Thanks for any help, Dave.
Hi

The air bags are side impact bags that protect the occupants from a side impact. They are fitted on the door side of the car along with the seat height lever.

The lever near the centre of the car is the seat recline function.

P.S.
The Citroen C2 VTR seats are very supportive and as such are more of a racier style and 100% compatible. They also might be easier to find.

Thanks Ozvtr.

It is good to know you have even more options for C3 seats when the C2 seats also fit.

I've upgraded my C3 seats to heated, here is my C3 Heated seat upgrade post :)

All sorted thanks but since replacing, airbag light stays on. All plugs correctly fitted. Any ideas please?

Is it possible that there was a fault in one of the air bags or the pre-tensioners?
