Seat belt jammed

AdrianC, it's not quite that simple, the later coopers had Seatbelt tensioners fitted airbags etc. If they wish to maintain that functionality then they may wish to get the unit fixed. The belts also had short rigid stalks to mate the tensioners so you would need to change them as a pair to match. Depends on whether you are happy with a reduced level of safety and non originality. 

So we're back to the original "...explosives in..."

And, yes, it'd also be an MOT fail (7.1.4 and 7.1.6) if the pretensioners were removed.

When I got mine, the original seatbelt plus pre-tensioner was stuffed in the rear quarter plugged in to avoid the air bag warning coming on.
I doubt an MOT examiner would spot it.

If you mean the latch, then please bear in mind it contains explosives...

Not that much explosive, only enough to blow the Blo0dy doors off
