    There has not been much watering down just a realisation that in the real world the new test regime was unworkable ie on some vehicles various warning lamps did not give a check illumination and only actually came on with a fault.

    So faulty ABS and airbag lights can easily be bodged now and if you have floppy, leaky dampers, it's OK.

    So if I remove the fuse illuminating the airbag light it won't fail?

    "The requirement for the SRS warning lamp to illuminate has been removed. Only if the lamp indicates a
    system malfunction will the vehicle fail. "

    Excellent news; I will have to get some blackout paint for all those pretty little flashing lights.
