Give it a quick run with the aux belt off just to eliminate the ancillaries. :y

The way I see it, if it's run already, any damage is done. It only needs to be a second or two to tell if it's still grumpy.

In fact, in the first instance, just feel for any play and roughness in the ancillaries driven by the aux belt.

Well, got the cover off, and hoped beyond hope that I would just see the offender lying somewhere on the belt or cogs, etc. But no. No sign so far. Looking now I think it must have gone under the top tensioner mounting plate. Wouldn't cause any harm there I wouldn't have thought? Guessed it was somewhere in the casing instead. Can't see how it would have got into the water pump from there, and worried now that there is something else wrong and the washer was a 'red herring'
I'll keep checking though, just in case.

With a bit of fuse wire I can see that there is indeed a small gap under the mounting plate but I still can't find the washer. A natural fall would have been down the left side of the water pump (looking from the front of the car) and down towards the crankshaft. I can't see any damage etc at this stage.
