Yes the passenger one has it stamped on the front and I think I can see the same on the drivers bag;

thanks,

I definitely don't have a passenger one, The steering wheel on mine does look chunky enough to have one and there is a seam of sorts which would suggest the presence of one.

PS Just looked and my steering wheel is three spoked and the "seam" is a rounded off Triangle with a horn symbol in the middle....

If you click the image above and then Zoom in you can see ours has "FORD" in the middle, horn symbol lower down and then towards the edge its SRS/Airbag. The other way to check is see if you have the sensor module fitted in the centre of the console just infront of the gear stick on a little platform, as shown in the Lush projects diagram.

No airbag on My Bongo either.... :D :D
And it is correct about MOT fail for illuminated warning light, however..... if the drivers airbag is not there it cannot be tested likewise if the warning light for the airbag is also missing then again no problem MOT wise.
BUT....here comes the caveat ...if you have like Geoff the tell tale passenger airbag then it will be obvious that you have removed the drivers airbag and that will be a failure until one is fitted and re-armed
