Rear Seat Belts Jaguar XJ 2012
Just bought an XJ Portfolio LWB for doing exec travel and chauffeur work. In the back there seems to be three seat belts but only 2 belt buckles? On the V5 it says no of seats inc. driver is 4. But in the back seat area there is room to fit another belt buckle. Can one be added and the V5 be changed to say it will seat 5 inc. driver?

Welcome to the forum FossilBill,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
Here is the seat belt diagram from JEPC (Parts catalogue) for the XJ:
(double click on the image to enlarge it)
If your specification has three rear seatbelts, it should have the buckle (item 6) for the centre one.
Most XJ's have the single rear seat where the centre part provides a less than comfortable place for a third passenger. Premium specification models have two separate rear seats and a centre console with no provision for a third passenger.
Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-x351-53/ to the X351 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

There is some clever mechanical work to ensure that the left hand passenger can only use the correct buckle, ditto middle passenger, as otherwise the little picture would get confused. The left hand passenger buckle is buried in the hole, the centre buckle is more prominent.

Found IT!
All sorted now, thanks everyone for your input. Turns out the middle buckle for the middle seat belt was actually stuffed under the seat bench. Doh! In my defence the bench is fixed down and you really couldn't see the buckle or fit your hand in to feel around for it. However this still doesn't explain why the V5 logbook states I can only have upto 4 people in the car?
