Default Cosworth tensioner, not the cambelt one!

Can you still get these, is it the same as any other model???
My car is in bits at the moment and it sounds like the bearing is a little noisy, so i'd like to get it replaced if possible. P.s it's the one that mounts onto the power steering bracket.

you'll need to tell me exactly what it is though to make sure its what you need. is it the round pulley? the 1 at the bottom which the alternator belt goes round then on to water pump? If its that 1 mine broke coming off and was Ł80 second hand! 4x4 is different though so i have one of them.

call me

i'd hope so, a pulley of any other shape is going to cause problems

Aye forget what i just said, no i was right first time, just ignore me, i know it mounts onto the bracket for the alternator and PAS pump so it must be the first one i mentioned.

See the little arrow.

The pulley is fitted to a cast iron bracket that is bolted to the side of the engine block (4x4 only).
