Just a quick one is it a big job to change the PAS belt on a td5 engine and poss belt tensioner ?

Piece of cake

...if u mean auxiliary drive belt(cos it's not only for PAS)

Yes the aux belt as its slipping, so what about the tensinore for the belt

if it's slipping put a new belt....if the new one is slipping too then u have a problem with the tensioner(unlikely)

The pulleys look shiny so when I change the belt I'm goin to roughen the pulleys a but with sand paperi think.

NO NO NO NO Dont do that unless you want to change the belt every week or so. They are supposed to be shiny.

+1 if u want to be sure there is good adherence "rub" the pulleys with violin rosin... dont laugh, it's tested
