Have you got a Haynes manual, the buzzer is located on the near side pillar, you've got to pull the plastic trim out of the way, the old one is riveted in, I just replaced with the new one and left old one in situ.

I have the same problem today. Could you please be more explicit about where the buzzer is located - which near side pillar are you referring too? - sorry not to understand!

Thanks

UPDATE: - found this on another post - but the buzzer seems to be in the boot!

Buzzer is LHS pillar below the seat belt exit from the plastic trim.  You need to pull the trim away from the pillar. Start at the bottom by putting front seat fully forward to give you room. Get fingers or tool under bottom edge and give it a good yank. 

 

The rivets in mine (2004/5 model) were plastic. If you push the center plastic pin out the rivet collapses and you can remove and reuse.  Unplug buzzer, put new one in, reinstall rivets or use screws to suit. Whole job takes 30 mins or less. Hardest bit is getting the plastic pillar trim back on again.
