Yeah the old Mitsi's!! I can't believe how SLACK they are. I used to drive an old 1989 Mitsi Express, then I moved to a new job and the first thing the new boss did was buy me a brand new van! I thought, beauty! so I got (at the time) at BRAND NEW 2003 Mitsi Express. IT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE 1989 ONE EXCEPT IT HAD TAPE PLAYER INSTEAD OF AN AM/FM RADIO! Right down to the seatbelt jaming in the bloody door! I would have thought after nearly 25 years of building a vehicle of the eact same design that they would have fixed the friggin seatbelt!!!
But back on topic the GU I also drove for the same work on a regular basis always jamed the seatbelt in the door also, it had only done about 30k.
Odly enough, the yota has the exact opposite problem! Especially with the back seats, damn it it's a pain in the but, it continually locks the frggin seatbelts, even if you are on the SLIGHTEST angle. A regular pain in the but when you pull over for a piss stop and the kids get out while the car is parked on the shoulder, get back in and none of the bloody seatbelts will come out!! The older one's ok, cos he can put it on once we get moving, but with Steph, she's in a booster
seat, so you have to creep the car forward and try and find a level spot then fart ass around with it to try and free it. The front's aren't so bad (probally a little more worn) but can still do it from time to time. Never had a problem with them retracting and thats on an 11 year old vehicle! ;-) I'm not sure if they replcae the seatbelts on the imports when they register them here in Oz, maybe they are only half the age of the vehicle, or maybe they are origional and the japs just make better seatbelts than the ozzy's!
