1 Mechanism is sticky, remove rear trim, locate and clean up seat belt inertia thingymibob
2 You parked on an angle, they will lock in this instance.

FYI the seatbelt pre tensioners are small charges and fire when airbags are deployed - they pull you into seat apparantly.

Probably the bearing or the bearing casing inside the mechinism box bit.

Be carefull when you take the casing off the black box as one side is a coil and will go mental and will just prevent you from putting it back together again. Slowley prize one side off and peak in, should see a purple bearing carrier and a white cog.
