Replacement seat belt

    The left rear passenger seat belt has become frayed on our 2011 Peugeot 5008 and needs to be replaced for NCT visual re-exam.

    Would appreciate a suggestion of someone who might do this at a reasonable price around Dublin.

    It's just the belt, buckle etc is fine.

    It comes as a complete unit, buckle, belt, mechanism etc.

    Personally I'd pick one up from a breakers.

    Thanks Colm, yep, seems to be a hours labour in it so if I could source from breakers would make big difference. Where would I find breakers yards, Google machine ?

    I'm a bit clueless, as you might have gathered.

    The donor car should be not really crashed, the belt have tensioners you'd like to have working....

    It would be apparent if a pretensioner has gone off as the belt wouldn't retract. Most cars don't have pretensioners in the back.
    Its not standard practice to replace all seat belts in a car that's been crashed, so on that basis - if it looks ok and works ok then it probably is ok.

    Warning: if retrieving used seat belt from breakers, make sure not to allow belt to fully retract into mechanism. Tie seatbelt in a knot to prevent this BEFORE starting disassembly and only undo knot after fully installed.

    If the belt retracts fully the mechanism locks and it's practically / realistically impossible to undo. You've been warned ;)
