Is this on a Sport?

If so, easy job TBH. No need for an aux belt to go to a specialist.

Bumper off, drivers wheel off, drivers headlight out.

Nice and easy to do - only advise is don't put too much leverage on the tensioner as they have a habit of breaking. POssible to do with two jubilee clips.

Loosen the alternator. When you get to it you will see what I mean by this. Budgie is right, the tensioners do break. There is a tool you can buy, but I still use a jubilee clip as it keeps your hands free and I just use it to hold it in place. I mean 'Jubilee', the branded ones and not just a hose clip from anywhere as it needs to be a strong one.
