This is proper voodoo - can't seem to line up the bolt to get the new tensioner in. No matter what I try!

So, I've replaced it now (just had to go to the side of the car to get a better angle) however the noise persists. You can still hear it when you use a rod to listen to the tensioner.

I'm now thinking idler pulley. Does anyone have a 'side on' diagram as to how that attaches to the block? I'll be able to work out if that's what I'm hearing then, I think.

Figured I'd update this as I'm on - I ended up replacing the idler pulley and the noise vanished - a much more pleasurable driving experience

Got to admit if I'm going far I always bung a spare EAS compressor in the boot!

I actually carry 4 schrader valves and a 12 volt compressor, never needed to use them in 5 years
