So, the mother in law has somehow f*ct one of the seatbelt latches (the black bit with the red button) in the rear of Deb's 1'er:

Her MOT is on the 15th so got to fix it.

Checked realoem and found it could be one of several part numbers, so checked in the car and got a photo of the correct part number. Found one on ebay for £15 so snapped that up.

No one sits in the back normally, this was the first time since the last MOT!!!! So not overly fussed that its from a breaker on eBay.

My problem now is what do I need to undo the bolt? It looks like it needs a bit with a type of star shape. On realoem it says "fillister head screw" M12x27 and this is a picture (this is under the seat...normally occupied by dogs, hence why it looks like the floor of a tractor!!!:

So, does anyone know what I need....is it likely to be available from Halfrauds?
 
Yes, that is a Torx headed machine screw. It may have thread lock on it, as it's a safety part, so go careful as if you round it you, to quote a line from the film 'Snatch' will be 'proper f*cked'.

Thank you
 
New part arrived and fitted with no problems.

….other than that when I went to pack the torx bit away it was no where to be seen. Looked all round and eventually decided to check under the car seat, which I whipped out in a few seconds (cos I know how to do it now) and there was my bit.
