The centre rear seatbelt stalk has stopped working, probably due to ingress of mini jelly baby. We don't use it much anyway but it'll be an MOT failure. I can't see any way to open it up at all,can you get replacements from a dismantler or is there a law forbidding sale of used safety belts?

Is it in order to recommend an on-line service who forward requests to breakers, who e-mail the person
requesting the part?

Not at all FT I venture to answer without consulting the OP.


You are neither a wede nor a wet. Congratulations.


Those northern breakers on the internet are great in my narrow but important experience.

Mind you it might be easier and cheaper just to remove the centre belt.

Or is the damn thing specified, therefore compulsory?


Not all testers would notice if the centre belt was missing. Or would or should they?


Experts please intervene.

Unbolt the socket and soak it over night which will disolve the jelly bean and get it working again.

Cunning crooks making a getaway could simply pop a jelly baby into Mr Plod's seat belt socket. He would be unable to give chase because of health and safety reasons.

Its an offence to carry a loaded jelly baby,.

Naturally - black one's are too sought-after to waste down seat belt sockets.

OK ta. Try: www.1stchoice.co.uk - they forward your request to breakers who
reply with prices by e-mail. I have had some great results, it also obviates
the need to find and remove the parts in the rain standing knee-deep in
mud the consistency of porridge.

You are neither a wede nor a wet. Congratulations.


Hello clouds, hello sky, hello Lud - ta!

If I were the OP, I'd try dangling his part in a pail of warm soapy water for a few
hours, then vigorously sloshing it about in the water to remove any residual
stickiness, shake any water drops out, dry it with a hair-dryer, and polish it
up with a quick squirt of 3-in-one, and a clean tissue. Hope that's not too
technical for "discussion"!

Maybe: www.1stchoice.co.uk would be easier.

Thanks for that.

I could quote Molesworth all day but I'll leave it for my 11 year old son to do!

a centre seat belt is not required to pass an mot, my pug 406 estate centre belt jammed so i removed belt & buckle and it passed.

See? I thought so.

An MOT tester should ask you if your car is a four or a five seater; and enter it into the computer.

What if you're not there?

Some centre belts are attached to the clip of the neighbouring belt, Golf MK3 for example.

I'd go with a second hand belt clip from a scrapyard, inspect it first

Thanks for advice - a kettle of hot water dislodged the little chap and it's all working fine after a spray of WD40.

I hope it wasn't too hot, jelly babies have rights as well as humans!
