The seat belt pretensioner on the ZS is built into the coil at the bottom of the B post so it is safe to change the buckle on the seat without worring about SRS system.
Any Rover 45 or ZS will definatly be a suitable doner, possibly a 400 as well.
Rover 25/MGZR is not suitable, the pretensioner is in the buckle!
Have you tried pressing the release button, on an old car I had it used to stick down sometimes, might also be worth using some WD40.
Until you get it fixed can you plug the belt into the passanger buckle?
