I've noticed the passenger seatbelt could do with a stronger tension (missus almost hit the dash during some sharp braking!). Is there a straight forward way of adjusting this?

Check that the belt doesn't get stuck under the headrests. I've had this happen and it feels like the slack isn't being taken back into the reel. Eventually twigged that it was getting stuck under the headrest. Simple solution, raise the headrest...

...or in maps in the seat-back pocket, or in the roof back-section when folded (both of which I've had), or pretty much anything...

That would mean that the only thing in the car that was tight, was the grip on your purse!

On a different subject:
Does anyone know of a company that makes TVR pyjamas and slippers? One of my colleagues is needing new work-wear.

Yes, I like TVR clothing and often sport the latest gear from the TVR shop. I'm waiting for the 'Biege summer range' to be released. Yes, I think the Pee-Jays would be an exciting and novel experience........any other readers up for a pair ???
