OTHER WEIRD THINGS

Car wouldnt unlock with smart key two weeks ago on a really hot day, but after a bit of perserverence it opened with the key.

Airbag light was intermitently lighting on the dash, today has decided to stay on. Should i be concerned the airbag could go off in my face at any moment????

Needs service is overdue, will be fitting NGK irridium plugs, Topgun 8.8mm leads, K&N panel filter, Gates timing belt & new idler pully( which is starting to squeek.

Front has a squeek which is related to the LHF wheel, its intermittent, doesnt go away when brakes are applied, doesnt feel like a wheel bearing! has me stuffed!

Brakes Squeek like a mofo! mainly the fronts, Stops like hell, could just be perf pads? havnt even had time to suss it out properly,

Any light shed on these final few issues would be appreciated.
