  1. Thanks for the replies. Paint code is LA7W which I think is Reflex silver. Picture attached, back door is worst.

  3. Hi all. My wife parked her car at supermarket and came back to find a dented driver side front and rear door. She was quoted £1000 to have the doors fixed. Was looking on eBay and could see second hand doors on there with the same paint code. The doors on eBay are fully complete. The total for 2 doors was £250. I’ve done small jobs on the car before (replaced drivers door wiring loom). Is it an easy diy job to fit a new door (just bolt on)? The eBay door is from a 2011 car but hers is a 2014 car, will eBay door fit? Although the paint codes match, will there be an obvious variation in colour? Thanks
  4. Thanks for the replies. Picture attached, is this ‘spline’ ? Thanks rum4mo
  5. Fixing with a blast of WD40 worked until today. A really hot day and the belt is very difficult to unwind from the reel. Keeps jamming. Looking at replacing the seat belt now. The seatbelt bolts look like a 12 point torx bolt. Anyone know what I need to buy ? Thanks
  6. Hi I have problems with the drivers seatbelt on my 2014 Fabia mk2. The belt works fine when cold but in hot weather the belt jams when trying to put the belt on. It’s as if the mechanism to lock the seatbelt is activating. No matter how gentle I am in pulling the belt it jams and can take up to 5 minutes to get enough belt out to put belt on. I’ve sprayed some silicon lubricant on the reel mechanism and also given the belt itself a clean in soapy water. This will fix it for a while but it isn’t long before it starts sticking again. I’ve been quoted £280 by a garage to replace the belt. Any tips in what else I could try ? Has anyone replaced a seat belt themselves ? It doesn’t sound so bad a job but am slightly cautious of doing it because the seatbelt is fitted with a pre-tensioner. Thanks in advance.
