What's the belt size?

I'm sure I slackened the tensioner and moved it forwards to alleviate the rubbing before. But then I also saw there was a dodgy shite set of tensioners as well cos there was someone on Facebook with the issue

It's just easier to f**k the lot off and run the full PMS kit

Not sure tbh. It was a genuine kit so just whatever it came with. Although it’s pretty much fully compressed with the belt on.

I might do that. Or even try a slightly longer belt. I wonder if my alternator isn’t quite right and just holding the belt a bit too tight.

The first tensioner that came with the kit was absolute shite. The casting was terrible and it snapped at the first sign of any pressure to turn it. This one is better quality, despite having the exact same markings, but it’s just pissed.

I’ve bought enough s**t now, they’ll be no PMS kit

You sure the tensioner is okay? Ive seen what karl has seen where they're just seizing up as soon as theyre on. Id whip it off and check it's actually doing the tensionings

Fair enough, SKF kit is 1660 for reference if it's any use in future

I didn't use a pulley delete kit but went for Lambert's style while maintaining the small bottom idler pulley

Not that it helps you right now... but it's an option
