Replaced seats in MINI ONE & now airbag light comes on & requires resetting

I replaced seats in my 2002 MINI One. Purchased from parts place in Leicester. Upon replacement, airbag fault light was illuminated & installer put car on computer & reset. This has now happened twice. Is there a fix or shall I contact MINI?

It will be the cable that tells the car's systems that someone is sitting in the seat. Talk to www.airbagman.co.uk
