Thankfully, today has been a real cracker of a day
I tell you Richard, if I could, I'd keep my Activa in the house. Front door's not wide enough though...reblck68 wrote:You're going to hang a Xantia over the bannister?

New tensioner fitted today and although a struggle and needing two of us, it can be done in-situ without removing the alternator, HP pump or dropping the engine off it's mountings. The challange is to get the lower spring bolt out due to very poor access and to get it and the spring back in again! A ball ended 6mm Allen key did the trick!
Huge thanks Richard (DickieG) you all your help, without your Allen keys we'd have been scuppered
Here's a picture of the old tensioner and the grooves on the bearing sleeve. No wonder it was more like a ratchet
I'll do a full write-up over the holiday describing how to replace the tensioner.
