ok, first of all, yes, you could just ignore the light but (im unsure about this part) i dont think the airbag will deploy whilst an error is being shown. it is also an instant MOT failure if an airbag light is displayed on the dash.

now, as far as the part is concerned, you dont mention how old the car is? if its less than 5/6 years old, i would approach the dealer in making a contribution towards the cost of the repair, you can but ask. should you get no joy, contact the head office and explain you do not feel this is a fair price for what appears to be such a simple item.

if you got the car from a dealer, depending on how long ago you got it, they could be lible for the cost....
