Cheap Nissan Terrano Airbag

The Nissan Terrano II ran from 1993 to 2006 in the UK, with a significant facelift arriving in 1996 that updated the front end, interior and trim details. If you're sourcing an airbag, knowing which phase your vehicle is — pre-facelift (1993–1996) or post-facelift (1996–2006) — is important because interior components including airbags can differ between the two. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Your 1995 car is a pre-facelift Terrano II and your 1997 car is a post-facelift model, so these sit either side of the 1996 facelift boundary. Interior parts including airbags can differ across that boundary, so a straight swap cannot be assumed. Route this question directly to the breaker, quoting both registration numbers, so they can check compatibility against the specific SRS system in your vehicle before supplying the part.

For the steering wheel or dashboard airbag the door count is unlikely to matter, but if you need a side or curtain airbag the number of doors and the exact seating row become relevant because trim and door configurations affect coverage areas. Tell the breaker whether your Terrano is the 3-door or 5-door version and which position the airbag occupies — driver, passenger, NS (nearside) or OS (offside) — so they can match the correct unit.

Trim level can matter for the Terrano II because seat specification and interior fitout varied between grades such as SE, SGX and others, which may affect side airbags mounted in the seat or door. For the steering wheel airbag the trim level is less likely to cause a difference, though cosmetic details such as the horn pad finish may vary and the replacement may not look identical to your original. Confirm the trim level with the breaker alongside your registration so they can check the correct module variant for your specific SRS system.

Airbags are safety-critical, single-use components — once deployed they cannot be reused, so always ensure any used airbag you buy is confirmed undeployed and in good condition by the breaker. Professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended because incorrect installation can cause the airbag to fail to deploy or deploy unexpectedly, both of which are dangerous. Never attempt to fit an airbag yourself unless you have the appropriate training and equipment.

Parts within the post-facelift Terrano II generation are more likely to interchange than parts crossing the facelift boundary, but compatibility with your specific SRS control module is something we cannot confirm here. You should give the breaker your exact registration so they can verify the airbag module matches your vehicle's SRS system before purchase. Because airbags are safety-critical and professional fitting is essential, getting that confirmation from the breaker upfront is well worth the extra step.
