My air bag light has over the past few months remained on permanently. It has been reset at the dealer on three occasions but returns the next day.Does anyone know the permanent cure for this problem? Also after my last service I am getting a permanent low coolent level warning but all seems fine; any clues? TDV6 HSE Zambezi/Tundra

Airbag warning light suggests a problem with the SRS system, either airbag or seatbelt pretensioners. Is your dealer seeing any DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) in the RCM (restraint control module)? There's TSBs that relate to the error codes and how to fix the problem, just resetting the system won't cure it. So go and quote some acronyms at your dealer seems like the best course of action 
The low coolant warning is probably the common one covered by TSB LA303-007:
"A customer may report a concern that the low coolant warning lamp is illuminated or a "Low Coolant" message is being displayed, despite the coolant level being correct.
Cause: The sensor float in the coolant expansion tank has absorbed coolant causing it to sink, triggering the sensor."
The fix for this is to replace the coolant expansion tank with an updated version, part numbers are in the TSB The End

Mine just went in for the second time for the airbag problem. This is a very serious issue according to my dealer as it means that there is absolutely no airbag protection!

Dealers wrong, in most cases it means that - if an airbag detonator isn't sensed, then that airbag is ignored, in the case of an input sensor, then that input is ignored. not all airbags will inflate in every circumstance, the Disco3 employs several strategies to ensure appropriate airbag deployment. If everything is working correctly, the deployment is more precise, should one or more pyrotechnic devices be unavailable, then the timing of the others may be changed, similarly, if sensor input is unavailable or implausible, then pre-calculated routines and strategies are implemented. None of which means that you will be left with NO protection, but it may be slightly reduced. Of course, the best way to prevent injury is to drive defensively...
