if you want to stop the warning tone, I picked up a seatbelt catch from a scrap yard that fitted and clipped it in.

Never wear it (supposed to when not loaded, p/h) except on motorways.

x-ray, you can disable the warning tones using a combination of ignition key turns and belt insertions, at least on a mondeo. Something like turn ignition on three times until you hear a bleep and insert seatbelt within 5 seconds - that's not the procedure BTW, but it's all on Google.

Put in on when out of City, otherwise leave it off.

Don't recommend that, but it does me.

You can get a seat belt buckle from E bay for less than £2. Got one for my Insignia on which you can't disable the audible warning like the Mondeo.
