Part Number: 601028800D | Premium Recycled Mini Parts
Vehicle Reference & Fitment
This part has been expertly removed from and is designed strictly to fit the Mini Cooper R56 2006-2013 (3-Door Hatchback). Below is a reference image of the exact 3-door vehicle type this part belongs to, alongside the manufacturer logo confirming authenticity.
Where is this part fitted & What does it control?
This Front Seat Belt Retractor assembly is located on the Front Right Side (OSF / Off Side Front for UK Right-Hand Drive vehicles, representing the Driver's Side). It mounts securely inside the B-pillar behind the interior plastic trim. It controls the extension, tension, and secure retraction of the seatbelt webbing, containing an explosive pretensioner that locks instantly during sudden deceleration to protect the driver.
Part Details & Symptoms of Failure
Material & Construction: Manufactured with high-tensile woven nylon webbing, a heavy-duty steel mounting chassis, and a highly calibrated internal locking pendulum and pretensioner system engineered for maximum driver safety.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Seat Belt Retractor:
- The seatbelt is slow to retract, requiring you to feed it back into the pillar manually.
- The belt webbing is frayed, cut, or damaged (an automatic MOT / inspection failure).
- The retractor is jammed completely and will not pull out.
- The vehicle was involved in a collision, triggering the internal explosive pretensioner (indicated by an airbag warning light). Once deployed, the unit must be replaced.
The MASSIVE Benefit of Buying Original Parts vs Cheap Copies: Safety components are life-saving devices. Buying a factory original, authentic Mini seat belt guarantees the locking mechanism will activate at the exact G-force intended by the manufacturer. Cheap aftermarket seat belts may fail to lock during an accident. By purchasing our thoroughly inspected, premium factory part, you ensure your safety while saving up to 70% compared to buying brand new from a main dealer!

Fitting Instructions & Garage Repair Estimator
Estimated Repair Time: 1.0 Hour
Required Tools: Plastic trim removal tools, Multi-spline/Torx socket set (T50 usually required for seatbelt bolts), torque wrench.
Brief Fitting Guide: CRITICAL: Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal and wait 15 minutes to disable the airbag/pretensioner circuit before beginning work! Carefully unclip the B-pillar interior trim panel. Unplug the yellow electrical connector for the pretensioner. Unbolt the top anchor point and the heavy-duty bottom mounting bolt securing the retractor reel. Extract the old unit. Install the new retractor, tightening the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque setting. Reconnect the battery.
