Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

hi guys i have recentley bought a 1L gls on a w plate the lady who owned it before me said the front passenger seatbelt catch had a hydraulic problem and so had a replacement that was bolted to the car floor, the problem is that the replacement catch is sometimes difficult to get the seatbelt to go in it (its a niche thing), will this affect the mot in any way?, if so how can i resolve it, does it cost a lot to get the hydraulic seatbelt catch fixed?, thanks for reading

Go to the scrapyard and and get what you need, won't cost a lot.

the thing is is that its like a gas chamber thing

tbh

just get some silicone spray soak the one thats in your car now may free it up a bit

yeah you mean the pretensioner (thing)

just got scrapyard and find 1 that aint gone off and take it for yours , but make sure you put the red tag in the pretensioner!! ya dnt wanna chop ya fingers off if that thing goes off

yeahi know a dealship charges a bomb like 2 of them fitted is about 400

yh i needed some for my car cus mine had gone off cus its was accident damaged and they wanted early 400 quid for them, told them where to shove them and got some from scrappy for £30

i done it i got a pretensioner from the scrappy for £35 i managed to get the seat out with a bit of struggle, f**k one of the bolts getting it out (good old halfords had some similar bolts for sale so i got some) all in all quite an easy job(i have very little experience with cars), thanks for the help guys

Glad you got it sorted.
