it's like rounded it'self in a mounted nut, so i can't move the nut so the bolt should just spin out, well it spins, both ways, but makes no threads...i don't wanna be drilling a new hole in it, to put a screw down it to get it out, any idea's? This is on my seat btw, so i don't want to drill it/hack it out and be left with a bit.

I hate these people that try to lecture other people on spelling and grammar and shite, but I didn't understand a word of that.
All I've got from it is that one of the bolts holding the seat down isn't coming out? In what way - is the head rounded or is the nut seized onto the bolt?

sorry, ermm drivers side on a corsa b, next to the door, the bolt holding the subframe to the floor, is just slipping within the bolt, going round and round, loosening or tightening, it moves, but doesn't get anywhere.
**i just read that back, woah i seemed like a right tard

sounds like the captive nut under the car has broke the two welds that hold it on
you can either get someone to hold it with vice grips or a shifter ehilst you undo the bolt or grind it off
