Last I heard, you have to have a 'permit' similar to an FAC for explosive charges.
All airbags have explosive charges. That's how they justify the obscene price for a tuppeny banger and a polythene bag
Hazardous goods, special carriage and all that. You can't post them, yet Royal Mail will quite happily shift tons of 5h1t for bowel-cancer screening, but not used oil-samples for analysis. (though the Ivory Tower claims they will, the jobsworths,apparently say no!)
Lost the master-key for the BMW, Agent wanted £150-ish for a new one and insisted on registration in my name, 2 forms of ID..... for a £500 banger...and, no, a vendor's receipt was not adequate. could post the immobiliser- brain and a PHOTO or picture of the key to London and Mr. Patel would cut a master-key, code it to the box and return, all for £60 !
Ah, but I didn't have a key!...jumped through the hoops, got the cheapest, purely mechanical key ~£45. Open door, pull bonnet- catch,hook jumpleads on terminals , all good to go. Yes, the plastic pull-release for the secondary bonnet-catch, is a bit of a bind. Judicious use of tools and abrasives will realign it and increase the clearances.
