I have the chance to buy a very low mile 2003 XK8 that the dealer claims needs a new seat actuator to turn off the airbag light. Comments? Sources? any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

welcome to the forum - below are 2 links to help. First is the link to the XK8/XKR section with a wealth of info and best place to post your technical questions. Second link is to the DIY thread in the XK8/R section - scroll down the page to the Airbag troubleshooting links - see if that helps. As for reasonable place for parts - forum sponsors SNG Barratts, JAGBITS, Coventry West are good sources to start - enjoy!!!

Welcome to the forums SC_Gamecock,

I've always found dealers carry out simple repairs to maximise selling price. Airbag warning faults can sometimes be easy but can often be difficult to troubleshoot. See the XK8/XKR forum for relevant threads.
