Got a leaking water pump

Going to replace and do timing belt at same time as due in a couple of thousand miles anyway.

What i need to know is how do i find out what sort of tensioner i have (manual or auto)

Car is a 2002 1.8k series on a 02 plate

Would like to have all the parts ready so i can do it on the same day rather than dismantle and then have to wait for parts to arrive.

Thanks in advance

I can only base this information on the MGF/TF which uses the same engine but the K series of this age in the MGF has an auto tensioner, only the VVC models had a manual tensioner - don't see why the Freelander would be different

Cheers for that also rang supplier with chassis number and they confirmed auto tensioner

Cheers for the video link HIPPO sadly my engine won't be on a bench, so it may take me a bit longer
