My wife is 40st - I have terrible problems turning left

Everytime I turn left in the D3 I get a terrible lurching to one side, like the car is gonna tip over.
I thought it might be a damper but the dealership reckons my missus should try drop a few pounds.
Obviously I stormed out of the showroom, and wrote a letter to the....

Joking apart, I have noticed the seat belt light doesn't extinguish sometimes when someone climbs out of the passenger seat.
I've been told by the previous owner to massage the seat but is there a simple fix?

It's not a huge worry for me, but if it's easy enough it'd be nice to have sorted.

Thumbs Up
Thanks,
Rob

Just change the the seat belt sensor/loom for that seat - sounds like that's you problem.
 LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

i had this when my seat got wet. after a few months its now ok again
i did buy a new seat sensor so have one spare
its a pig of a job to fit - removal of seat base. leather and pad.
i did it once when fitting heated seat elements - second seat i let my mechanic do it for me
give me a shout if you want the sensor
