Default MOT failure - help please !!!

Hi all,

Car's stuck in Gatwick Subaru with a fail due to an excessively worn/frayed drivers seatbelt. Would anyone know where I could get a replacement one of these to suit an Sti5 Type R asap (well, within 7 days) please?

I thought you were allowed to drive it home even after an mot failer and are allowed to drive it afterwards providing it is booked in for retest. might be wrong but that is what was told to my old man when his van failed

May well be true but no point in re-booking until I can source a replacement.

sorry not much help on the replacement part but i called my local traffic police dept the other day regarding driving a car to / from mot if it's run out or failed and they said that "you shouldn't actually drive a car to an mot, (even if it's been booked in) and from an mot after failing if the car is in an unroad worthy condition."

i guess a faulty seat belt could be seen as a part of the car in an unroad worthy condition.
