My passenger side seat belt keeps(permanantley) jamming, is it fixable? If not where can I get replacement and how much do they go for and what car are they origanally off?

Mine too! Never the driver's side, only the passengers. It seems to be affected by the slope. It only works if it's dead level or pointing downhill.

Still, what do you expect for £34k?

If you're going to replace it, suggeset you find out the make & buy ANY other.

I find it comes out easier if you (the driver) reach over behind the passenger seat and lift the belt directly upwards, instead of pulling from the front. I hope this makes sense.

cheers trfoe and nigel2 but I think I'm going to need a new one as I have tried everything to unstick it, need a new one but not sure from where it was sourced?

If it's stuck stuck then a hammer might be needed - a quick slap might free the mechanism. Or undo the top mounting bolt, reel it in a bit and it might work when you pull it back out again.

Not sure what these are from - look at the sewn in label, maybe that will help. A TVR dealer will get you one (try TMS, aka tvrgear - they've posted me all sorts of things overnight).
