it helps to see exactly what movement your looking for, i was trying to push the screw drive too deep into the hole.
basically turn the flat headed screw driver so the blade is horizontal then push through the hole, but aim slightly towards you, feel about with a couple of pushes and wait to you feel resistance from the spring, once you ve hit it you ll realise and you should then be able to lift off that side of the air bag, if it doesnt just pop off by itself, it is a bit of a faff, but once you ve done it once, it will take seconds the time after that.

Thanks mad_mackum 
. Sorted it yesterday.
The clips I was struggling with are the ones that plug the electrics into the airbag. Never come across them before but very simple once I understood how to remove them.
For anybody else that may struggle with these, they are what I would describe as piggy back clips. You cant just pull the whole clip away from the airbag, you have to pull the back clip away fromthe front clip first then the whole thing releases.
Thanks
