Hiya. The seatbelt buckle on the 2003 Colt front passenger side has given up the ghost. Can I just replace the buckle and stalk (bit attached to the seat) or do I need to replace the other end as well ie. are they are specific matching pair? I'm guessing a new buckle only would do? Any thoughts?

Yes that's fine but you need to get it out of an identical vehicle, this is especially so if its a pretensioner type. There are several different tongue styles (the bit that plugs in to the buckle) used in modern cars that look similar but simply aren't interchangeable.

I agree with what franc is trying to say. But I'll rephrase a bit. You need an identical PART. doesn't mean it has to come from the exact same vehicle. So if you remove the stalk.--Should be one 14mm bolt to undoo then if theres a wire you unplug it. Take this part to a wrecker and they will match it up for you. I would take a tracing of the buckle or preferably take the car itself to make sure it buckles correctly
