MY seatbelt on driver side is getting on my nerves. It tried to choke me last night and I had to fight it off like an attacking snake.
How do you tighten the tension on the wind up thingie in it?

Do you mean its not winding in as it should be? Too slow?
Often if you pull the seatbelt right out, then get a damp cloth or sponge and give the belt a good clean it often help that problem.
Otherwise i dont think you can do anything with them to tighten up the winding spring thing.

It won't affect the tension at all but have you tried adjusting the height position of the upper mounting point?
My wife used to complain about the belt cutting in to her neck until I lowered it to the lowest position.

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

I put it on and it does not wind up any when I let it go so there is a snake of belt.
I will give the cleaner idea a go but just concerned that it doesn't get stuck in the door. That happened before in C5 no1 and the door jamed on the metal. Muppet broke the inner door handle trying to get the door open.
Incidentally C52 door unstuck with a thump.
