Thing is, I really like it as a family car.

Sounds like your having a bad run.

With regards to the airbag issue, was there an airbag warning displayed before the accident? Gives food for thought. Last year I drove home to Goulburn NSW from near Coober Pedy SA with my airbag light on in my Triton. Same thoughts running through my head, would the airbags go off if there was an accident?? Turned out to be a glitch in one of the seat belt pre-tensioner squibs which, when reset, never surfaced again.

I went through the fuel pump replacement thing years ago on my diesel Terracan, thankfully under warranty. Not a pleasant experience mainly due to the dealer taking shortcuts and trying to bodgy repairs initially.
