Yep, coming up 204,000, I have seen them with over 300,000 and there was a 2.0Hdi C5 on ebay last week with 402,000 on it and it still looked quite nice. I'm sold on the Hdi engine now Paul ...or at least the 2.0L 8 valve version.

Would this be the passenger air bag your meaning Paul?

If so its a fairly easy fix as its usually just a bad connection under the passenger side carpet.

I had it one one of mine and it took me ten minutes to fix, I simply cleaned up the contacts and it never showed its message again. :)
