Do I need a diagnostic jobber to do this or can I just leave the battery disconnected?

You'll need some diagnostic. Storey wilsons eas unlock should do.
There is a link to download it in the tech archive but you will need a cable making up.
Otherwise, if you are planning to keep it for a while then buy a nanocom. It is not cheap but will pay for itself easily.

I can't justify buying one just to clear the fault and then sell the vehicle which is a shame

Check the under seat connectors with ignition off thats first thing, you might get lucky and it clears.

It just says air bag fault on the dash, I've sprayed contact cleaner into all the yellow plugs I can find and I've replaced the steering wheel squib jobber but it still remains

Do the Abs and Airbag lights come on in the cluster when you turn the ignition on, if not could be bulbs gone .

I remember a post (I think), that there are two bulbs and if one is blown then the other will stay on. Fingers crossed.

That's very interesting, I don't get any light on the dash only a message in the lcd display. I shall investigate when I get home

You should get an SRS lamp when ignition is turned on, it should go out when ECU has done it's self checks. If you do not get an SRS lamp just a message you may need two bulbs.
