It came away in my hand, Sir! - w3526602 - 31-10-2014
Hi,
Peugeot 306 Estate. R-reg.
The driver's seat belt buckle is starting to fall apart, cannot push buckle in. MOT in a couple of weeks.
Looked on Ebay. It seems that the ones listed are all pre-tensioners. I didn't know that I had pre-tensioners. ??? New fangled devices.
Advise me, pretty please. Can I buy one of these ASSEMBLIES off Ebay, and just spanner over the buckle and stalk?

Have a look at the bottom of the stalk assembly and under the seat. Are there wires there. If so you have pretensioners

Pretty sure the phase 2's do have pretensioners. Just not side airbags for most.

If you have a steering wheel airbag you have pre tensioners in which case, they are all the same but obviously you need to buy the correct side one.

Hi,
I knew that. I thought pre-tensioners came a long time after airbags.
There is no mention of air bag on my steering wheel.
The seat belt stalks disappear inti the centre box thingy (I hate posh cars) so I can't see if there are any wires, Also can't see the bot that holds the stalk to the floor/tunnel. I guess Im going to be doing more grovelling on the carpet. ( I hate them even more, now)
I managed to remove the split halves of the receiver unit, after which I could fit the buckle into the receiver. All seemed secure, but lots of semi-sharp edges. I bought a tube of super-glue a few days to fix my sat-navs rubber sucker to the dash. My SWMBO has put the glue somewhere safe. ??? So I invoked Plan B, and wrapped the receiver cover in insulating tape. Nice and secure, and the buckle locks firmly in place. But will it pass the MOT like that?
I would argue that the structure of the receiver unit is not dependant opon the flimsy plastic casing. Comments?
