Thanks for your replies... I'm in Cornwall, so a long way from you guys. I'll be up your way next month Jimbo, but need to get the belt done asap. I'm starting to hear an unfamiliar noise and fear it may be a roller about to give up  :-[

What part of Cornwall?,if near Truro eurocarparts hire out some of the locking tools very reasonably,may be worth asking.I've sold mine on otherwise you could have had it.

Tensioner is often the failure, jams and then strips the belt. pulleys normally good.

Thanks henry, I'll give them a call. 

My belt hasn't been changed since 2008, but only done 40.000 miles in that time. I can hear a slight noise developing, maybe just water pump, but don't want to risk any more mileage in case it's the rollers/tensioner starting to give up :-)
