Thanks, seems a bargain compared to others listed atm, will keep an eye out, need to try and get two by start of Jan in order to get them fitted in time for MOT...

Two bolts, so not a big thing to fit, once you get past the trim.

I had the same problem with a front passenger seat belt so I removed the passenger seat and passed the MoT.

Mind you, that was in 1983.

I'm hoping to purchase those two on ebay, just need to wait til Wednesday payday and hope they are still available. Have messaged seller for part number to be sure they will fit my car.... know nothing about cars myself.

Set up a daily Ebay search that will email you every morning as they've been cheaper before.

Thank you, I use ebay a lot but only really for simple purchases so don't know all the ins and outs, this is handy.

Try messaging people on eBay who are breaking Merivas.

There are plenty of Vauxhall breakers if you google.

Rear seat belts are not exactly a big seller, so the price should be reasonable. (Front belts are a big seller, they get dirty, fray, and won't retract (another MOT fail) so they fetch good money, due to supply & demand)

Plenty on ebay, Listed on their own and also try contacting the people breaking whole cars.

I have taken my rear seat out for the last 4 years or so for my MOT due to faulty seat catch .

It's not that difficult to remove the seat, infact there are no bolts to be undone at all it just lifts out. I've not looked at a meriva but it can't be that hard.
