If that fails get one from a breakers as JBlue suggested, rear damage should ensure an untested/stressed unit;)

Are you seriously suggesting this?

disagreeing is not criticism, buying possibly the most important safety feature after brakes from a breakers yard is just not worth it, ive seen recovered cars being pulled onto lorries by their belts out the window when they have been in a smash, people using them to climb up into cars at the breakers yard etc.

You can't always tell if the pre tensioner has fired, the car may of had flood damage or an electric fault which you cant see until you crash the car, by which time its too late

I dont know why you've brought the BER thing up in here, totally unrelated

here it is any way

Unrelated yes, but it worked! You didn't come back on the other thread ..

I'll check it out tomorrow when I have more time.

Meanwhile - we have obtained seat belts from breakers at good prices and they have been in mint condition. First choice would be to buy new of course.

Can you tell us what you mean by we and for what purpose?

We, in the red light district, find they have many useful purposes - such as games that you may enjoy.

What do you think I mean???? Or are you being deliberately provocative? I know how you like to try and wind me up - I've had a busy week at work and haven't got the energy to bite. Sorry.

A straight answer would have done.

I’m trying to work out that rational of buying second hand seatbelts that may have been involved in a collision.

Isn’t it similar to buying a second hand crash helmet that you don’t know the history of?

I guess if you use them in sex games then the safety aspect is different.;)

There are alot of cars in breakers that have not been in a collision or accident of any kind... you have to know and trust the breaker that you go to. It takes a bit of research and can save you pounds.

Seat belts that have been in a collision can be used in the latter for your own enjoyment..

Simply pick from a car that has been rear ended and has no other front end damage, the belts would not have been used in that case.

Also in these days of seat belt pretensioners, if they are still intact you can be sure all is ok

The driver seatbelt on our Fabia doesnt wind back in automatically.

Sorry, my mistake.

I thought this thread was about a drivers seatbelt the one that would most likely to have been worn in a collision.

I still don't see how you can claim there would be nothing to concern you with a belt worn in a rear end collision.

Then you don't understand the basics of physics.

Hit from the front your weight goes forwards, the seat belt restrains you by taking the load

Hit from behind your weight goes backwards, the seat restrains you by taking the load, clearer now??????????????????? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
