Get yoself the free EAS software and a cable ( see for sale section), so yu can check/fix it yoself.

So you've just paid £48 to get a fault cleared.
Get yourself either the disc and lead if you're the sort of person that carries a laptop at all times or get yourself an EAS KICKER from Black Box.
You've just paid over twice what the disc and lead would cost and heading for half of what the KICKER would cost.
Next time it happens, and for £48 the garage certainly hasn't repaired or replaced anything, you can clear the fault yourself, in a few minutes, and at the side of a French road if necessary.

If you are going down to Spain via the west of France, I'm near Poitiers on the A10 if you get into trouble and need help. At the very least, if you have a laptop, download the free EAS software from www.rswsolutions.com and buy a cable from The Mad Hat Man and then you are covered. It would be worth checking the airbags for leaks with the soapy water test, if they are more than 8 years old they will probably be shot.

Mix washing up liquid and water in a sprayer and spray the airbags and look for bubbles, also spray where the pipes go into the airbags.
I have Faultmate diagnostics for most systems on the P38 but not V8 engines.

Another aes fault ....
