Thanks guys, new battery installed, after having to give the car some juice from another car, as the boot 'manual' key-lock is broken(break-in attempt?)
Car started no problems, first try, and sounds good, but the airbag light is on. Turns off for a split second when turning the ignition on, but then comes back and stays on...

Some major condensation happening with the right side headlight, to add to the airbag light problem.

Hi guys,
According to an online VIN decoder, my car has the below option:
S704A M Sports suspension
Anyone know exactly what that means on the E85 ? Is it the springs and the shocks ? Lower ride height ? Any part numbers ? I am asking because I will get the car checked and I need to make sure the mechanic replaces any required parts with the right stuff

Thanks Smartbear so should be fine in case new bushings and stuff like that are required..shocks and springs seem ok.
On a separate note, the car runs and passed the MOT.

Thanks Cooky3
Did a wheel refurb today(before/after pics below), and also took the opportunity to clean the drain holes for the convertible top, they were pretty crappy, check the pic. I used a very good youtube video on it, took like 20 min. I hope my motor lasts, only way for me to move it into the boot is to drive to Germany(about 7 hours).
