Seatbelts

Hi
Going to buy a '97 defender 90 tomorrow hard top. There are bench seats in the back. Do these require some sort of seat belts/ harness by law. any help is greatly appreciated. Apologise if this is aked in the wrong section or has been asked before. Can't find a thread for it.

They should have lap belts fitted for that year.

hi i have a defender 110 5 door someone has put two fold up seats in the rear loading area but there are no lap belts is it leagle to let my kids sit in them

thanks

Not fancy starting your own thread?

What year? What type of seats i.e. original landy seats or plastic garden chairs? (This might be a giveaway that its not legal). What does your v5 state that the vehicle seats? What have you told your insurance company?

hi thay are the fold up cloth seats that are nomaly in the 110s but there is normaly 4 seat the defender is a 1994 in the log book is states 5 seater pick up and the insurace i can only say ive not told them thay are there

You need to get log book changed to reflect how many seats you actually have...and inform the insurance co..its not a pick-up and you'll get royally fkd if you have an accident.

Plus...get some lap-belts from crad/paddocks...surely your kids are worth £14 each...
