Wanted - BX Seat belts - MOT failure!!
My BX estate has just failed it's mot and one surprising item is that two of the rear seat belt buckles have parted company from the metal brackets which bolt to the floor pan. I think some chemical has been spilt in the back because the stitching on the rear seat back rest is also coming apart. If any body has a spare black TZD rear seat I up for that as well!
The seat belts I need are the two short webbing ones with the later style buckles (1990 onwards?). Can anybody help?!! Thanks

Sorry to sound the pessimist but I'd start to worry a bit if I were you!
This doesn't sound like the kind of damage that's localised to one MoT/one fix.
I'd pull out as much trim as you can and have a long, hard look at the metalwork under there if I were you.
French seats from the 80s and 90s are not known for their hard wearing qualities so the stitching is not a surprise. In conjunction with a clear rust problem, I'd be going in there with my Paranoia Hat on though. Sorry
