Hello Robert,

We take it you have tried all the on-line factors that are the usual starting point for part searches -? Also EBay listings-? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Thanks Robert, but have you (in caps) searched the on line factors, such as Car Parts in Motion, Euro car Parts, Car Parts for Less - and the list goes on? 
Again have you searched EBay? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Thanks gareth I'll check on these i ve looked at ebay and eurocarparts but not the other 2 

Seatbelt warning light could be a loose wire under the passenger seat. A diagnostic check might give you more info. 

Just take the car to an exhaust garage. As it could be the hanger instead of the centre box.
