MG MGF Technical - Drivers seat belt

i don't know if anyone ellse has had this problem but some times the drivers seatbelt locks in one position and i can't get it to unlock without a struggle. i have the cars full history and it has had a safety recall on the drivers door and the has been done?

I have noticed this, both of my seat belts seem over keen at times :(

>has had a safety recall on the drivers door

not quite, the recall is on the belts where they pass thru the t-bar, looking at the plastic piece the belts go thru, there should be two screws, between the two screws is a vertical split, if you have this then the recall was done.

My belts are a bit eager, but given where I would end up if the car went over and the belts didn't bite.... you know what my first choice would be!

If your seat belt escutcheons look like this:

Then your cas HAS been recalled.

As others have said the belts can be a bit 'eager' BUT I prefer that to them being 'lazy'

For that seat belt recall David, see http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/MGF_recalls.htm#r1

If you've got the original type escutcheon, arrange for your dealer to get it changed, FOC.
