Hi all,
First of all thank you for the excellent resource of information on this site, its been very helpful.
I have owned my '08 118D MSport for 1 week today. On the second time I started it the lower pulley failed and so I had that replaced by a local garage for £370 (pulley, belt and labour)
Once I had the car back I set about cleaning it and noticed the central seatbelt appeared tight, so I pulled it down and there was a little slack. I read to lower the seat as this can release the inertia system, but all this has done is lock the seat in the face down position :x
I managed to remove the lower part of the seat and access the bolt, I read T50 but that doesn't seem to fit, and a T40 seems too small and I'm conscious of not rounding the head. Looking at the bolt under torch light it appears the bolt has been accessed before.
Frankly I am pretty fed up with the car at the moment. I love how it looks and drives, but these issues are distressing me big time
Any advice on how to resolve the stuck bolt? I'm tempted to just drop it in a garage and ask them to do it.
Thanks,
Simon
