Does anyone know where i can get replacement buttons which is attach to the belt webbing to stop the buckle dropping to floor. preferably some on the northern suburbs of Melbourne.

Have you considered just sewing a button through the belt?

The driver side one on my NB has gone as well, and I think I'm now used to it not being there any more :/

Didn't think that they'd be available to purchase anywhere though.

Autoliv were the experts ( near Ford factory on the highway) - maybe they can tell you. Not sure if the item is procurable.

To stop passenger side buckle knocking against the plastic trimming when driving without a passenger, you can lift it to the top of the retractor post & tilt it backwards so it sits there under tension.
