Does it not have "lock down" functions? Eg, 1 and 2 on the selector.

The B's do have air bags but without removing a fuse there is no easy way of turning them off. Having said that I have heavily off roaded mine (as has Bobinsjob) and had no problems with the airbag, other then the normal light on and needing to just push the connectors under the seat.

Daz please do not use the V6 section as a discussion form, it is a technical section to be used for mechanical problems with the car and fixes.
You have been requested to adhere to this rule before in this section, please take note.

Don't just pull the fuses for the airbag either. As soon as you start the igntion the EML will come on and won't go off again even if you replace the fuse. You would have to have the system reset with either the Vauxhall gadget at the dealer or an op-com.

Stick it in gear, point it at the mud, floor it and then smile alot, sorted. Don't waste it, can still have fun without being brutal, you know you want to :wink:
