The seat belt looks perfectly normal, doesn't appear to be doubled over etc. It has been partially pulled out and is completely stuck, no 'give' at all. It's an old style 3-door T reg hatch. Any ideas on how to free it?

the accident locking mechanism has jammed... try putting your car on diffent slopes.. then try and free it.. e.g facing steep down hill.. and up hill

If it's not working properly it's an MOT failure. IF you know what your doing you could try and remove it to see what's stuck and release it, or else try to get a replacement. Having it working is not only a legal requirement, it could also save a life!

ALL YOU CAN DO IS TAKE OFF THE PANELLING AROUND THE BELT CASING AND MAKE SURE THAT THE BELT IS NOT TWISTED UNDER PANEL THEN REMOVE REEL FROM BODY AND YOU CAN THEN PULL BELT AND TURN UNIT TO DIFFERENT ANGLES OTHER THAN THAT ITS DOWN TO THE SCRAPPERS.GOOD LUCK.

hey instead of jerking with it,, call a scrap yard ,there is a ton of them about,just get one from them.. the pontiac firefly is the same vehicle,swap them out,, not an easy task, youneed a proper,tool to fit the head of the bolt, well on most cars you do,,

try hitting it with a small b peen hammer while alternating pulling the belt.
more than likely the rocking lockout has seized and can be freed most of the
time.
