Well, Dingocroft reckon bearing doesn't come separately..... seems odd? Anyway, ended up with Britpart (!) complete tensioner - should I go for it???

New belt too - if that doesn't silence the budgies nothing will.... A

Too right JM - but as a mere mortal I wasn't going to argue..... wimp....

Anyhoo - if the Britpart kit is up to the job reckon it would save considerable grief beating the old bearing out and sweating the new one in - if the Britpart isn't made of chocolate..... Any thoughts? A

That's because it's not actually a LR part, it's like getting a new bearing for an alternator, LR will only have a alternator part no, won't give bearing no's etc...

The SKF no. for the bearing is: 6203-2RSH

That looks like a cheapy bearing. I got two SKF bearings for about £8 from my local Bramner depot.
