Freelander 2 airbag damage
Discussion
Hi all
All going well I’ll be acquiring a 64 Freelander 2 metropolis tomorrow with some fairly minor front end damage, the steering wheel airbag has blown which is easy enough but just wondering on the easiest way to repair the passenger side.
As you can imagine it’s got a big hole in the dash with the bag hanging out. All the kits from breakers on eBay come with a complete dash but I’m hoping I can take the top panel off the dash and replace that along with the airbag and Gubbins from the doner dash, rather than replacing the whole dash which looks somewhat epic... won’t save any money but will be much easier to do.
Anyone know if that’s possible? I’ve seen an exploded diagram and a it doesn’t show the top piece as being available separate but that doesn’t mean it can’t be removed - after all some have different coloured trim so it must come apart from the main dash carcass somehow.
Also how do I know if pre tensioners have gone, do they usually go if any airbags have blown? They don’t appear to be particularly expensive but would be nice to know how to tell anyway.
Cheers
