Most likely seatbelt pre-tensioners but can't be 100% sure without a diagnosti check.disconnect battery leave for 15mins and unplug and reconnect the connections under the seats a few times.

ABS light?? not the airbag light

ive just thought, would it be a good idea to check the brake pad wear 8-(

I would have said a faulty ABS sensor, but in that case, the ABS light should stay on all the time.

One sensor might be on the blink - i.e sometimes reading resistance (no ABS light on), sometimes not (ABS light on).

Check the resistance of the sensors using this guide (http://www.saxosportsclub.com/ForumsPro/viewtopic/t=31097/). 1000 - 1100 ohms is ok, anything less and the sensor has had it.

No mate, you're just measuring the resistance through the ABS sensors.

You might need to unbolt the battery and drag it forward a bit to give you some room.
