I have a 53 plate TDi Ghia 130. The manual is unclear as to whether the passenger side airbag needs to be switched off if ia child is using a booster seat in the front. It kind of says it's OK but you should push the seaty back as far as possible. There doesn't appear to be a switch and the Ford dealer hasn't really been able to help. Does anyone have experience of this? Thanks,.

I've had our 53 plate tdi ghia 130 since february and it's only ever blown warm air, I took it back for a regas and it was OK for a couple of weeks. Its booked in for a gas and dye on monday atr

What happened was that the kids managed to lock the car from the inside with the remote, keys were on the drivers seat while kid #3 was strapped in. Shut the door to walk round to the drivers door and they had locked it. Then they dropped the keys down inside the child seat and couldn't get them out. So then we had 2 kids plus baby plus mother in law in the car, locked from inside by remote, no access to the key and the button on the armrest will not open the door. Only by getting MIL to clamber into the back and dismantle the child seat could they get the doors open. She's nearly 70 and it took half an hour. with kids screaming and windows steamed up as it was chucking it down with rain. Unusual set of circumstances I know, but that is how it happened. Sorry, just read your edit, but have given the full details anyway. Think this is just one of those things that is a million to one chance.

Bleeno, Just tried that, got in the car and locked from inside with the remote. But pulling the door handle has no effect, the button on the drivers door arm rest is still disabled. Wondering if there is a fault somewhere, but think this may just be a design feature. GB

So in that circumstance of locking the doors from inside with the remote, is there any other way of opening them from inside other than using the remote? Just ask because we had this problem, but couldn't get to the remote as it had dropped into the innards of a child seat and we couldn't get it out. 53 TDi ghia

Hm. but will the remote key do this on the facelift version? We had this problem recently where the kids and MIL were inside. The keys slipped down inside the child seat, and the button got pressed so the doors locked and deadlocked. Couldn't get the keys out from the child seat and the button on the drivers door handle would not open the doors. Were on the verge of braking windows, but MIL managed to free the keys after about 25 mins!
