Yep - definitely a case of "They all do that sir". Took mine back to dealer to have them 'adjust' the belts.... made no difference!

Mine does that and wont come out to play either. Unless your on a spirit level

Mine used to do it. The dealer changed the complete unit and it has been perfect since.

All TVR belts seem to have a tendancy to do this.

Some are worse than others.

On my Griff it used to have the habit of tightening up (both passenger and driver side).

My Tuscan is much better at this, but at rest the passenger belt (which I guess has only had about 8k use when the rest of the car has had 35k ) can be a bu55er on ANY slope.

I think that, for the type of belt they use, TVR put them in at a slightly inappropriate angle.

Possible alleged cures are:

1) replace unit - because some are better than others
2) modify belt by shortening it (I've heard of this one but don't see how I can recommend it)
3) lots of patience when fiddling with it
4) drive (carefully) round the corner until the car is at a different attitude (cheap, but it still gets a fiar amount of noise from the "passengerseatdrivingalarmvocalwarningdevice" )

Re: option 2, I posted this a while back:
