as far as AC is concerned I need to find the correct belt tensioner as it doesn't exist. hence why I'm leaving that until the end.......

Although my wife now wants the Wee Beastie as her day to day i may have to buy another.
cant put my finger on it( generally because I might lose it) but it's just such a nice car to drive.

There is no separate tensioner for the aircon belt, it's a kind of eccentric mechanism at the pump end if I remember correctly. Not obvious at a glance, details are in RAVE.

If you remove the plastic cover from the idler pulley you will see a bolt and an Allen key hole. Slacken bolt and adjust tension using Allen key on eccentric pulley. Tighten bolt. Refit cover.
