I have had the airbag light on in the dash for a while now, and finally after reading this forum, decided to take it in to Heartland at Castle Hill in Sydney. They hooked up the diagnostics, showing 3 error codes, made the light go out and sent me on my way with a quote to replace the top and bottom wiring harnesses for $1,229.15 if needed a a later date.
So after only 3 days, the airbag light comes back on, so I ring them and talk to Kelly from their warranty dept, who tells me that the vehicle is no longer under warranty, but due to being original owner and having full service records, she would approach MMA and see if they would come to the party.
Booked in for 18th Oct with all costs to be covered by MMA - will be a full days work to fix - not sure if full harness replacement or a bypass fix, but at least they are covering the costs.
Gives some hope to those who are out of the warranty period / km range.
Mine is a 2010 MN GLX-R manual purchased 30 Sep 10, with over 171,000 on the clock.
Have also had the gearbox rebuilt under warranty when the synchro's went on 3rd in Adelaide - all covered then too including a courtesy car as we were part-way through our round-Aust trip.
Now just looking to get someone to finance me for the 180K service - quoted $2,300 by Heartland.
Can't belive I sold my Boxster for a Triton ..... !@#$%
