Welcome Stu!
I'm guessing you've disconnected the seat belt pre-tensioner which will show the Airbag light. (Ironically most of us have had to cure bad connections on that plug! )
You'll have to disconnect the plug going to the airbag unit itself; I don't know of anyone that has done this but there have been posts in the past about removing the passenger airbag cover; that might be a good starting point.

The only reason I am asking is that the car seat I ve got does nt fit the 406 rear seats, but I think on the side of caution I am just gonna get a new seat that fits the rear seats better, that bugger is the car seat is a brttiax and is only a month old, but I can t be sure the airbags off

Isn't there a key switch in the centre console by the handbrake? Or is that only on D9s? Can't remember whether my D8 had it?

It was only the D9's that had an override Dai
