Firstly guys my rear central seat belt is locked into position and wont pull away from the seat. What might be causing this?

Secondly, sometimes when I lock the car it wont dead lock on second push, have found that if I then open and shut all doors and boot it locks. Any ideas on that one? TIA

seat belt you will need to tease it until it releases and your locking is a lazy soleniod

Drivers door is deadlocking brain mate, easy job this is!

Microswitch on the astra's/Vectra's was a common cause to this!
