MG MGF Technical - Can't get it in!!!!! :-(

For some reason, I have got in to my car this morning, and the seatbelt won't go in.

Any ideas?

Use the passanger side until you can get a new clip, unfortunatly this does happen.
Will Munns

Yes, had to do that this morning. Any ideas what has actually gone wrong, or how much a new clip is?

The clip sometimes dies, mine is getting difficult, several people have replaced them, search the archives for prices.

Changing is DIY, you will need a socket set and a set of spline key bits (available from Halfords on a 'rail') to remove the seat and the catch.
Unfortunatly the piece is more expensive than you might hope because it includes an explosive.

Errr......explosive.....???.....hmmmmm....DIY?.........

"Use the passanger side until you can get a new clip" -- how do you reach the pedals?

Sorry, I'll stop ar*ing around now.

Yep, go on are you a real man ;-) ?

more seriously though, the explosives are electricly triggered and you should disconnect the car battery and let the car sit for a while before unplugging and reconnecting the wires under the drivers seat.
