Air bag condition.
 
Been looking at some old posts about air bag, AA recommends replacing air bag after 10/15 yrs. When i had a 12yr old Nissan last year it was called in for a replacement. Now i have a 16yr old rover,should i be worried.

Well as you won't be able to buy an airbag newer than 15 years old John, it's rather pointless worrying about it ;)

So don't have an accident, or in risk management terms, be slightly safer than an Octogenarian "scraping the pegs" :cool:

Last year I found an old air bag in the garage from a Saab I had scrapped, it was over 20 years old so I thought I would see what would happen.

I placed it in the middle of my garden with some long wires to the connector. I was about 30 foot away and put the wires on a battery. SWMBO was not pleased at the noise and secondly I had an area of grass that was destroyed.:eek:.

Why are you worried? Are you intending to go out looking for an accident? I know you are not really, but if we all worried about ‘what might happen’ we would all stop at home......................and the roof falls in. It’s called sodslaw.. I also realise it is not just down to your driving and anticipation, but to others reactions and common sense. Just enjoy your driving.......when you can at the moment.

OK I agree with all that BUT if the bag blows, how do you get a replacement? Are they still available?
