    No backpedalling at all, but you'd make for a good journo with the selective quoting ;)

    Selective? I quoted the _entire_ post to give the context for your denial...

    If you quoted the "entire" response, what happened to the example I gave about motorcycle indicators?
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    No, your previous post. The one you were wriggling to justify. Number 8 in the thread.

    when mot'ing my seven seater, i asked the exact same question.

    The response I got was "it depends" they said if the seatbelts were attached to the car body then the seats had to present to be able to test them, if the seatbelts were part of the seats then when seats were out there was nothing to test.

    That's a bit inaccurate as the requirement for a seatbelt is determined by having a seat to go with it. If there's a seatbelt and no seat there's no need for the belt, therefore it doesn't need to be tested. In the second row of seats on something like a Renault Espace the seats are all removable, yet the outboard belts are anchored to the body and the receivers on the seat. If the seat was removed it'd be harsh to fail it for the belt not being able to fastened.

    Is the correct answer, its only a seatbelt if there is a seat.
    If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it.

    So why include a part quote from another post if you weren't making reference to it?
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall

    Yep as I said earlier, it's quite common with Landrovers.

    When you "revealed" that only testable items are ........testable? Insightful

    Yes - but if you put the seat back in and someone sits on it you'll possibly regret it.


    Perhaps it's a 'crime' as you would then knowingly be letting someone use a faulty seatbelt.
