My X300 seat belts are a light champagne colour and have become grubby over
the years. Mechanics never seem to wash their hands before tugging at
them - and neither do my sons. Cleaning never seems have much effect.
So, I took the plunge, removed the belts, and have had all five refurbished.
I sent them to Stephen Armstrong in Carlisle, (carseatbelts@hotmail.com),
and am delighted with the result. He has a full range of Jaguar belt colours
and does the job within 24 hrs. He also inspects the mechanisms and greases
and adjusts if required. The total cost was �48 plus postage there and
back, which I think is great value. He is fully recommended to those of you
in GB who fancy a seatbelt spruce-up.
Excellent info - thanks Stephen. Mine are exacly the same.

Does anyone know of a similar service in the United States?

In reply to a message from The Marlett’s sent Mon 4 Nov 2002:
If seat belts are fraying, wearing, etc which might cause them to
not function as intended, they are under a warranty. I think
something around the neighborhood of 10 years and its a Federally
mandated warranty regardless of where you live.
I’d like to have mine redyed as they are fading…
