Thing is - I can't see many garages having one of those, so I may do just as well do make an edificated guess as to the tension myself...  :-/

tend to agree till i checked and all peugot/citroen/renault dealers have them as standard, and so do many specialists, reason being there is no set figure for tensioning them only the frequency!!!! hope it goes well James :y

I have found an excellent how-to on a Pug forum, and have spoken via PM to quite an experienced Pug mobile mechanic, who has given me what he describes as a "perfect method" for tensioning the belt.......  I think given the car's (relatively low) value, I'll take the chance, rather than get fleeced by a dealer  :y

If it was anything like the 1.9td you have to dismantle half the frickin engine bay just to get at the head.

The only good memory from ever working on that car was once when I slipped and cut my hand open.  It needed stitches so I went to the hospital and was directed to a room and told the 'docteur' would be there shortly. 

It was summer so I was in shorts a tight hugging vest (I was buff back then due to playing semi pro rugby) and of course covered in grime.  The rather attractive lady docteur walked in, stepped out and shouted at the nurses "It's not my birthday is it?"

I burst out laughing, needless to say the stitching job was awful due to all the flirting, it left a bad scar.  I didn't leave the parking lot before getting a call on my mobile. That was a nice summer  :y
