Im making a start on getting the Pug mint using a car in same colour but its a phase 3 mine is a phase 2.

I had to swap speedos over as fuel gauge was not reading correct and noticed on removal the airbag light had been removed and never even noticed it not coming on lol

So fitting new speedo caused air bag error to flash.

On inspection being a phase 2 it does not have an air bag on off switch in the dipping beam panel to the right.

There is the block behind with foam wrapped round as if never used and the fuse panel underneath the steering wheel has no relay in the plug with same wires that the air on off switch i guess would use (next to 2 purple relays then a brown blank plug and then a brown blank plug) not sure if either need a relay inserting but currently there both empty.

The seats have no air bags but wiring looms are under the seats (i do have some with airbags to go in) would them not being plugged to anything cause a fault?

Removing the top glove box there is also an air bag wire there also? Would that also cause a fault?

Any advise be great

Cars without seat airbags still have seatbelt pretensioners that also plug in under the seats, if these are unplugged or not making a good connection the airbag light will flash.

Depending on what you have done to the car, the flashing might not be due to the p3 parts. The likely scenario is that the airbag light was removed from the p2 cluster as it was flashing, but the problem causing it was not fixed as the person who did it found it easier to bodge it instead of fixing it. Replacing the speedo has just restored the light which is flashing as the original problem is still there. If the car still has the airbags it had originally then the problem could be the pretensioner plugs.
