Craig the Princess Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If you are getting generic rear seatbelts I fitted one of these to the Aconite Allegro last month. Arrived quickly with all the bolts and washers include and even I could fit them. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F260809615380 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The matter is different for those deemed "occasional" folded seats, rather than "everyday" folded seats. DW: "I barely ever take more than one passenger. They ARE occasional seats" Seems odd that a tester can make a judgement call about whether a seat is "everyday" or "occasional". To a single person or couple with no smalls, a normal back seat is occasional. To a family with 5 children, the rearmost 6th/7th seats are everyday. How is the tester supposed to know that? We (my company) presented a Berlingo van for MOT a few years back with the front passenger seat in it's folded configuration, and gained an advisory for "unable to inspect passenger seatbelt due to seat in non-travel configuration" (or something similar). Surely a passenger seat fitted to a car is a passenger seat fitted to a car. Where it is or how often it is (currently) used is somewhat irrelevent.

red5 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Occasional means tip up or similar. Disco mk1 3rd row for example.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Seems odd that a tester can make a judgement call about whether a seat is "everyday" or "occasional". There are guidance notes in the old manual that I can't be bothered to dig out. They use the terms and give some definition to them. It's not odd for a tester to make a judgement call on loads of things related to the degree of wear of various components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Major news is that I've finally been able to pay for the car! Seller insisted on Western Union, which I've not used before. I pestered him again and again for details before we left the UK, thinking I should at least send a deposit. He never gave me the details.I spent considerable time at his house trying to make the payment work, only to discover that it takes two days for the payment to go through. Oh, and it restricted the amount I could pay!Eventually got it sorted, but he's been mithering that the money hasn't come through - pretty much during the whole of our trip back. Turns out he misunderstood how it works, but all is now good. I've paid £947 for the car via two payments, which included the spares, road tax and insurance for a month. Total costs of the trip will need adding up at some point, but if we average £50 per night for accommodation, and about £40 for fuel every day, you get a good idea. catsinthewelder, eddyramrod, egg and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs6C Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Not sure if it was there as a result of this mega-collection trip, but I have just passed a narrow boat on the Grand Union Canal near Grafton Regis, with a 'Hub Nut'' sticker in its window...

LightBulbFun Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 This post gets better by the day. I doubt there will be any other contenders for the post of year unless some daft twat tries to drive a Routemaster back from Sri Lanka. Safe journey, as for Austria or Italy, which coppers are going to get the biggest surprise when they pull a Romanian reg car and find two of the UK's finest citizens in it ? https://www.facebook.com/RoutemasterAssociation/posts/1961243830617285 I think I found DW/Catsinthewelders "support vehicle" (complete with inspirational music...)
