Do the seat belts differ according to VIN number?

I've got my MOT coming up and the webbing on the N/S/R seat belt is frayed/slightly cut. Has been like that since I bought the car earlier this year.

Didn't notice it until recently.

I've been looking at various places and some list them as being suitable up to a given VIN number and some are just listing a seat belt for the entire production run.

According to the parts list, near side rear is BTR8890LNF up to VIN VA368103, EVL104180LNF from VA368104 to XA430701 but putting your VIN (from your post on the other site when you first got the car and queried the VIN number) into Microcat, shows that from YA430702 to end of run, it is EVL000150LNF. So it appears that there are actually 3 different ones and none supersede to the next so they do differ. No idea by how much though and whether you could fit an earlier one but Furness has one on eBay for £14.

Cheers.

Is Microcat available online anywhere? That sounds like a useful thing to have access to!

No, there's the online parts catalogues at http://new.lrcat.com/ and the other German one that was mentioned recently but they don't allow the VIN to be input. A dodgy version of Microcat was available to download a while ago but it doesn't appear to be around any longer. The big advantage with it is that if you enter a VIN (or even a Registration number) it shows the correct part where there are multiple part numbers. So it either only shows the part you would have or shows all parts but with 'not fitted to this vehicle' if you pick the wrong one.
