General Forum - New car seatbelt? - Page 1
Reviewer
Hi guys,
The spring in my driver's-side seatbelt has gone, meaning that it won't pull back into it's place when I'm not wearing it. The car is a Citroen Saxo Desire 1.1, from 2002, and Citroen want nearly £300 to fix it. I am not up for that!
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look for one, perhaps online? I'd have no problem with a second-hand seatbelt if the price was right. I've tried various dumps/skips etc at the suggestion of a mechanic I know, but with no luck.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Tried them all in the area and they said they'd have nothing for a car as new as 2002.

Try these - you need to register and you'll probably get updates from them for ages but they found me stuff for my HRV when I didn't want to pay dealer prices on a window motor.

What do they want for the part though seeing as you've obviously prepared to do it yourself.
No Citroen motorfactors do that sort of thing?

The trouble with buying a used seatbelt is that you don't know its history.
If it's come from a crashed car then it stands to reason it's already had to restrain someone from a major impact already.
it could be stretched and weakened, the restraining mechanism might be weakened etc.etc.
I'd be looking for a new one if I were you, sorry.
