For what it is worth I think you've landed yourself with a problem in the safety area.
I'm not that technical but common sense tells me that if one of your pretensioners 'has fired' your car was involved in an accident.
A proper repair should have included replacement of the 'used ' pretensioner as they form an integral part of all safety precautions in your cheese wedge.
I would suggest that you get it sorted asap.

I know it says "up to '93", but this extract from VADIS may be relevant:
Ben.Seat belt pre–tensioners (up to 1993 models only)
The seat belt pre–tensioners contain a small explosive charge. In this charge there is an igniter which is detonated by a signal from the crash sensor.
This causes a cable, which is attached to the inertia reel unit, to be retracted. The seat belt is therefore tightened before the body of the occupant can be ejected forwards by the energy of the collision. However, the force generated by the explosive charge is not sufficient to pull the occupant back into the seat during a crash.
The seat belt pre–tensioners have a one–off operation, so after a collision in which they have been deployed they must be renewed.
