Leek is ten miles northeast of Stoke-on-Trent at the intersection of several key roads: the A523, which travels from Calton Moor House to Hazel Grove; the A53 between Buxton and Shrewsbury; and the A520, which runs southwest to Stone. Watch out for potholes because Leek's roads are notorious for them, and they could damage your car. Should you need public transport, several bus routes operate in Leek to destinations including Cheadle and Ashbourne. The nearest train station is in Congleton.
Airbag systems work thanks to onboard sensors that detect when a car has crashed. A small explosive device in the airbag module detonates, inflating the airbag, which protects the driver and passenger from impact with the front of the car.
This system has several components: the ECU, ignitor, sensors, inflator, warning lights, passenger occupancy sensors and the airbags themselves. If one or more of these develops a fault, you'll need to book a car airbag repair as soon as possible.

The most obvious sign you need an airbag ECU repair is the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light. When the airbag warning light comes on and stays on, an airbag light repair may be required, though the problem is likely related to the system rather than the light itself. In fact, the light may indicate a sensor problem, in which case you'll need to book a car airbag sensor repair.
