Hi Darren

I have a new belt tensioner and new bearing for the pulley, do you have a spare arm and leg?

Regards

Ian

Hi Darren

I was somewhat less polite when my local Rover dealer gave me the quote, it took me two weeks to get over the shock, they quoted me £564.00 to do the job, with parts and labour, the tensioner was £134.00 plus vat, the pulley was £64.00 plus vat.

After taking the old tensioner and pulley off the car, I discovered the pulley has a sealed unit centre bearing, held in with a circlip, so you only need to replace the bearing, not the complete pulley.

I couldn't get out of paying full price for the tensioner and taking it somewhere slightly less expensive to get it fitted, however, about 12 months later I saw another tensioner on eBay for £100.00 including vat and postage, so I bought it to keep as a spare, you can have that one for what I paid for it, plus £10.00 postage, if you want me to send you the centre bearing, the whole package will be £120.00.

Regards

Ian

Thanks Ian. I guess that why my car has a "manually adjustable" tensioner :)

You could also try either a Jeep or Alfa Romeo dealer Darren - both use the VM250.4 diesel lump or possibly ebay. Unless of course you have any Italian friends who happen to have relatives near the VM Fattori in Italia. :wink: :D

Make sure your translation is spot on though as god only knows what you might end up with otherwise! :lol:
Cheers,
Dave
