jamesbilluk Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hi all I've noticed, when taking the seat belt off, it's quite slow to retract, and needs coaxing back up, is there a fix to this? Or is it just age, and needing a new item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM jep Posted January 6, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 My 2010 has always been slow to retract - I have to feed it home. I am used to old bangers so I can't say I have given it a second thought. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mg4lotus Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 The seatbelt on my 2010 is a bit slow too but I can live with it. I think I can recall a thread which gave advice about improving it's performance. Not sure if this was the original thread I saw but it is one possible solution.

jamesbilluk Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Finally got round to trying this today, amazingly it operates like new again, and much quicker to retract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
