Both front airbags have 2 stage deployment system. A bad connection on one of the driver airbag can cause this fault (there are 2 connectors here). The airbag needs to be removed to check this. Unlikely to be related to the battery swap.

Thank you is it easy to remove the air bag, someone looked at the fault and said I need to buy a new clock spring and wanted me to pay him £400 just for the part and he has not even looked behind the airbag

Removal of the airbag on these is a right pita. It is only clipped on,but can be tricky to release. A faulty clock Spring would give the same fault, but I think checking the connectors is probably a first option.

Not sure how it can be bought. You will need to speak to parts dept.

In common with all PSA models, the stalks are a complete unit, including the clock spring. There are 3 versions for a MK1 3008 without navigation, and 3 versions for one with - all retailing from Peugeot at £327.74....!! The radio and cruise controls are separate and just plug in so can be changed over. Failure of the units on early multiplexed PSA cars (2000-2005 ish) was very common, and there were people that could repair them - for a 3008 it is shown as a COM2008; don't know if these can be repaired - you could ask BBA-Reman. Having said that, failure of these later units seems to be much less common, so a 2nd hand one from a scrapper would probably do. On early cars you only need a diagnostic computer if they have stability program (to program the steering wheel angle sensor), but I don't know about later cars - they may all need to go on the diag computer.

I know a couple of comms repairers and although none of them will do repairs on anything after a COMM2000 unit, they do sell refurbished ones with guarantees.

Both advertise online and on Ebay, one is in Wigan, the other Bradford.
