do i need them and if so how do i get them on a 1.1 saxo with bucket seats i am buying some that dont have frames but will i need them

[mirrorblanks]

surely if your on about buckets, you mean the pre tensioners

ok what do they do and where do i get them

[mirrorblanks]

don't hold me to this, i'm not a massive saxo expert but on alot of cars where your seat belt clips into is a pre tensioner, in a crash a little explosion goes off inside this and pull the seatbelt tight around you

ok thanks and can i use the ones on my original seats or do i have to get some more

[mirrorblanks]

are you going to use standard seatbelts with the buckets or harness's?

[Robbie-Flat-Arch]

standard seat belts

[mirrorblanks]

well they can be bolted to bucket subframes, keeping them will keep the airbag light off

[Robbie-Flat-Arch]

ok so i can just use the ones that are already on my seats?

[mirrorblanks]

yes you can, try not to disconnect the wire from them, will put the light on the dash

[Robbie-Flat-Arch]

ok what if i disconnect the battery first them would it put it on

[mirrorblanks]

i don't know about saxo's but on 2 of my old fiestas even disconnecting the battery and then disconnecting and reconnecting the pre tensioners brought up the light on the dash

sometimes the light comes on some times it doesn't i took my seats out to feed all my wiring under my carpet it came, and then i took the seats out again for some reason and it went off then i fitted my new seats and it came back on again bit annoying really lol

[samueljonburgess]

same i swapped my interior and the light came on... and few weeks later took the battery off and conected again and it turned itself off

Disconnect the battery, leave 30 mins. Fit the seat and what not, re-connect battery, job's a good 'un.
