New airbag regulation

[318Touring 40]

I've just heard a rumour that airbag cannot be more than 10 yo, meaning replacing one (or two or eight) is necessary in order to get WOF according to the will be law. Is this true, can NE1 confirm?

sh*t, that would be damn expensive if it was true

Can you remove them from them and not replace them. Drive without ?

Sounds a little hard to believe... some air bags cost more than a 10 year old car is worth

the price for cars would go shooting up.

Certainly not.

Then the car will not meet the frontal impact standards.

No you can't do that becaues if it's there it needs to be working ... says the LTSA .. Also if it fails the airbag test it fails the wof .. and there is also that frontal impact thing ...

More likely to make used cars worthless, like they are in Japan.

Q about the whole if its there thing,: I fitted a 325 swaybar to my 318, lets say the bushes weren't up to WOF standard. So the car will fail even though it didn't have a swaybar from factory? But i could then remove the swaybar and pass WOF? Right?

think about your question?
