There's another thread about somebody making a repair of a seatbelt and it sounded simple and it might fix your problem. Have a dig in the Griff forum.

Oh, have a search for the word PAWL, I'm sure that was in the thread. And ballbearing or ball bearing - whatever!

Sure you've got a fix by now if the tensioner really is broken, but I had a similar problem with the belt jamming and refusing to come out, then refusing to retract, as if the tensioner had died. In my case, the housing behind the seat had moved because of the seat pushing back on to it. Try lifting/moving the housing if loose and pulling the seat forward slightly.
