Appreciate the offer Paddy! I'm booked in tomorrow at a local garage I use for everything. They're good mechanics, not necessarily Zed specialists who always look after me so I'm sure they'll have a good go on it. I'll see how they get on and take it from there.

I did the no seatbelt + passenger trick. It started kicking off about no seat belt so I guess atleast the sensor mat thing works :)

Help Appreciated: Fault Codes & Airbag Light

Airbag light - If once you've checked all of the above be aware that there's a sensitive fuse & cabling around the battery.

Not that common but my Indy has has a few with this issue, including the resolution of mine.

PM should you need me to dig out the invoice for more info.

Little update here, just got the car back from the garage. All *seemingly* fixed. Thanks everyone for all their help! I think the posts were a big help when they were investigating.

Airbag light ended up being something in the steering wheel. Ordered a new airbag I think?! Probably the most expensive item
Engine light was a cam sensor, to do with the exhaust somewhere

and finally the roof wasn't working because I was nosying around and put the storage tray thing in the boot in the up position, and didn't realise it stops the roof working :rofl: Was nice to have a simple, free fix for once.

The dealership and warranty will cover the costs, which definitely made it less stressful.

Thanks everyone for all their help! Now time to enjoy the M :)

Well I got two out of three. :D
Missed the simple check on the roof motor. Should have asked you the colour of the light. For future reference it will be an amber one for the parcel shelf try and red for everything else.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:
