53 1.6 SRS Fault - richardlives

Hi,

I have a 53 reg Civic 1.6SE 3 door (October 03 registered), which has covered approximately 47k miles. It has always been serviced at a main dealer. Recently the SRS light on the dash came on. I tried resetting it through disconnecting the battery for a few hours, as I read on one website, but the light stayed on. After taking it to the garage, it appears the Internal SRS Control Unit has failed, which can be replaced for a cost of £523.38. I've spoken to Honda, and they have flat refused to give any goodwill payment, saying the car is out of warranty, so they will not help. Does anyone have any advice, or should I bite the bullet and cough up the £523? Any advice gratefully received!

Thanks!
