[jbuk2k3]

Hi just a quick question is it possible to get a 3rd seat belt fitted I have a panda Active 1.1 if any one has any idea of the cost that would be good.

Also I have about 40 gmail invites if any one would like one just send me a message with your current email address and I will send you a invite, or leave them on the board thanks

It depends if the mountings under the seat are there, if they are you would just need the lap belt and the buckle plus the fixing bolts- not sure on cost though.

I've got a 3rd seat belt in my Eleganza. I doubt you would be able to get an official one fitted as the seat beat comes down from the roof. This comes from a special bracket that's fitted into the roof line. Is would also depends if you have a split rear seat as well.

EDIT: What's a g-mail account?

you can fit a third seat belt although not a three point seat belt - those are fitted during manufacture and involve a bracket in the roof.

However you can fit a lap belt yourself. My wife recently bought a Dynamic - not a split rear seat (can't therefore comment on split rear seat set up) - and I'm convinced we got it cheaper because it didn't have the third belt !

All you need is a spanner. You need to undo the four bolts that hold the rear seat down to access underneath the seat where the existing seat belts are bolted in. Undo the two bolts that hold the existing seat belts in and add a lap belt onto those existing bolts.

If you go to a Fiat parts counter & give then ref 70527/00 - 3 they will show you a picture of a Panda rear seat with a lap belt added. However they will charge you about £100 for the lap belt (& God knows what on top for labour to fit it !). I got ours from a firm that convert vans into motorhomes and it cost me about £30 for exactly the same thing.

Hi thanks for all your reply's i have not been on the boards for ages, I no longer have my panda 1.1 (and i do miss it) I have a astra 1.6 twinport 55 reg so far its been really good apart from the gear box blowing up. I miss the panda as it was so nippy and easy to park etc the astra seems like a bit of a bus after the panda i got £4200 for the panda and it was 04 reg this is going back to september last year when the 55 reg came out it had 8000 miles on clock. thanks x
