Front Drivers seatbelt
Can anyone recommend a supplier for a drivers side front seatbelt? After years of catching mine when i slam the door it finally gave up the ghost as far as this year MOT was concerned. Was quoted about £180 from Landrover which seems a little over the top! 2007 puma 90. Had a quick look on eBay and nothing there. Thanks L

Maybe try Bearmach. They are doing 15% off their products at the moment.

Alas no. Chassis number tarts with a 7. I think this is the td5 version. I need the revised puma model with chassis number starting with a 7. Apparently the belts or fixing points are different

If it is just the webbing you could have that replaced? I am in the process of considering this for mine and the cost is about £40ish per belt - speak to sue@fdts-seatbelts.co.uk (no connection or affiliation) - she is the one I am in dialogue with and they can do a quick turnaround

That is a good idea. Any idea how quickly it could be done?

Next question: How easily is the belt to remove. Is it just a matter of putting a socket on 3 bolts?

Re leadtime then they are based in Surrey and can do same day with appointment or 3 day turnaround (on receipt) if posted - regarding how easy to remove I havent got that far and was going to search the forum and see if there are any issues with just undoing the bolts

i.e. was something going to drop off the other side if I undid them

Highly recommend FDTS - I replaced the webbing on my 90 - fancied a colour to match the Landy and they send a dozen samples to choose the correct Red Thumbs Up

Yeah not too bad, I’d soak the fixings in WD40 or the likes for a while if you have the time. Don’t lose the top belt bolts and spacers they’re very expensive to buy new.

I can not recommend FDTS enough. I posted my belt off on Tuesday, received by them the next day, repaired, despatched the same day and with me by 2pm in Thursday. My belt had consistently been chewed by the day catch on just the last 30cm so there was enough webbing left to just cut off the damaged section and re-sew. I had been quoted £32 to replace the webbing and fully expected to be charged this but the cost for sealing and seeing the end was just £8. Much better than the near £200 quoted by LR for a replacement. Removing/ refitting is 5 minutes only. I can’t recommend FDTS enough and highly recommend them: info&fdts-seatbelts.co.uk www.fdts-seatbelts.co.uk tel 01932 342043
