That one won't be cheap to fix.
Been through new terminal twice in last two weeks - customs is a breeze but yes the belt is an issue - too small for widebodies and too sensitive to allow bags to drop - I watched my bag wait for a "space" to drop in to for an agonizingly long time (ok it was about 30 seconds)... All in all a MUCH improved LHR experience for UA....
