As title, I am after a rear nearside (passenger side) seatbelt. Mine is locked and I can't figure out why. :p

I don't know if there is any difference, but it is the old type with the release button on the side of the clip and not on top as usual. I do not need the clip, just the belt and retraction unit.

Cheers!

Sorted now! Thanks anyway!

I've got exactly the same problem! Early type rear seat belts seem to be hard to come by - but a later version will fit as well. You just need to swap the buckle over too.

Rear LH and rear RH are the same belt.

Excellent. Thanks for the advice! It would be a shame to lose the old school buckles, but if it gets me through the MOT I can always be on the look out for a retro one afterwards.

So, I am looking for either model, either side rear seatbelt with buckle!

I have had that to!
What i did, i opened the roller where the seat-belt rolls in and figured out it was beceause it was pulled in fully...
Once you opened the roller, you can lift the weight witch locks the seatbelt and you can roll it out again!
After that, reinstalled everything and glued the whole thing together and it works again!

I have learned my lesson, cause when i dismantled my 360 i pulled out a few meters of belt, tied a knot in it and put it away for storage... It could also be, its completely busted, then you need a new one!

Just try you know, it's not working anyway so... why not!

I took it apart to see if I could figure out what was wrong with it, and when you hold the weight in place it works fine. Should the weight be glued down? The way I figured the weight should be allowed to drop, which is what stops the ratchet. Am I wrong?

Strange thing,

Your spot on!
The problem you had was probabely you had it upside down at a certain moment and the weight dropped down! As you saw, you can unlock the whole thing with the simple weight. What you got to do is pull all of the belt of the roller en hold it there while you replace the weight en reassemble the whole thing (you can tie a knot in it or something to prevent it from slipping back in!)
Then hold the whole thing like it would be installed in the car. The weight should automaticly loose his blocking function and you should be able roll the belt in and out without any problem!

Watch out, cause as far as i remember, when you turn it the other way again, it all blocks again!
When installed in the car again, make sure you test it first. roll in and out and give it a good pull, normaly it should block again, else, get rid of it, cause what is a seatbelt that does not work you know!

by the way, don't glue the weight, its installed lose in there, so in case of a crash and have pull on the beld, the weight is smacked up in its housing and bocks the belt! gravity should push it back down after that though, certainly if you let a bit of belt slip in to the rollers.

Okay. Thank you! I shall take a look at this tomorrow and post the results.

Sorted this today. Pretty easy fix. Just bent the pin/peg thing that stop the wheel when you tug on the belt back a millimetre or so. Obviously it has been tugged hard in the past and belt forward a little meaning it was permanently on.
