Re: Pedestrian airbag deployed!?!

@m_101: Sorry to hear you had the same issue. I really should have forced the issue but I just wanted my car back. If we can make enough noise about this then I'm sure Jaguar would take note. That being said when mine was in the technician admitted that he had heard of this before and had never know...

Re: Pedestrian airbag deployed!?!

My personal opinion is they don’t deploy by accident but by excess impact In a perfect world, no. I guarantee they do though. I know it's only my word but the slight change in elevation between tarmac and brick did not warrant the PSS triggering. I went out and took a this photo today (rather than ...

Re: Pedestrian airbag deployed!?!

Update time: The short version: -I have my car back (as of yesterday) -I could have maybe got Jag to pay, but they wanted to send the car off for analysis which would have taken 2 weeks. -I wanted my car back so much that I paid and took it back. -Bonus: The stereo blew up too The long version: Satu...

Re: Pedestrian airbag deployed!?!

Update: Garage has told me that I need two new actuators but not a new bonnet. Estimated bill £800-900. These are not under warranty. They confirmed that I had not hit anything and that the car was in perfect condition. The garage put me on to the Jag customer relations team. They were a little bit ...

Re: Pedestrian airbag deployed!?!

I'm not sure on the details, I'm only going off what I've skimmed of other forums. I did read this though: "To disable a PPS you should plug a resistor instead of a two elements - 1. Two pyro elements, which opens a hood lock 2. Two pyro elements, which pops a hood up. I don't remember the exac...

You can with a kit, but I wouldn't want to be caught in a genuine accident and be found out!

Re: Pedestrian airbag deployed!?!

Minor update. Just got off the phone to Marshall Jaguar, Oxford. They have a 2 day lead time, so the chances are they won't even look at the car until at least tomorrow. I stated that as far as I was concerned this was a false deployment and should be covered by the warranty. So, should have another...

Re: Pedestrian airbag deployed!?!

Thought I had a better shot than this but obviously not.
It shows the bonnet having been popped up:
