Anyone know the rules on having an airbag fitted for MOT.
Basically I've bought an Escort Cab and am replacing the calypso trim which has airbag tensioners on the front seats with a recaro trim which doesn't (and they can't be swapped over), so now the airbag light flashes on and off. If I take the airbag steering wheel off and replace it with an aftermarket wheel without airbag and take the airbag bulb out of the clocks will my car still pass it's Mot, i.e. if that year of car was suppose to have an airbag must it be there to pass?

Oh, and what's the procedure for taking the airbag off so it doesn't blow off in my face?
