    I'm not a mechanic but would this point to a fault in the inertia reel in which case for safety reasons I would replace the belt - would it not fail an MOT if it doesn't recoil properly. I need a new seatbelt on mine as there's a tear in it. I was expecting the worse (cost wise) for a new one, being a BMW main dealer part but I was very surprised - £47.00 ish inc VAT! I have a classic car as well and an aftermarket belt for that was £42 so £47 for a BMW OEM part is pretty good - somethings from a main dealer are sensibly priced after all - pleasant surprise
