So, after 20 years, the alternator pulley seized. That put a considerable amount of effort onto the belt. Result: the belt tensioner cracked! 3 hours later and 300€ lighter, the problem was solved: new alternator core and brushes, new INA pulley, new GATES belt and new INA belt tensioner.
Me too several months ago. the tensioner doesn't last long with a seized freewheel pulley on the alternator.
Well dropped my car off at the body shop on Monday to finally get the paint sorted, so it's now a waiting game as its a full respray good job I like this car lol.
Mate it’s so easy. I jacked under the engine/box depending what you’re doing then undid it. And replaced it. I didn’t need to really disturb anything. I unplugged the coolant bottle and I did the mounting screws on that and the Ps reservoir, that’s it. Half hour a side and that was with me pissing about haha

Aaaand what a horrible thing it is too.
At least for me, all the aluminium thread came out with the bolt on disassembly.
I didn't even get the chance to overtighten it.
Bodged with a coarse metric thread helicoil kit, some old bolt and blue loctite.

Drama!
Got a phone call today saying my car isnt ready.
Service done but wrong cambelt kit turned up so the car is sat on the ramp unfinished.
Hopefully monday now.
I agree. Got the use of my other halfs car for work on Monday.
Once its paid for, i can start saving for a trip to badger5......
Just replaced the rear brake pads.
Last pads fitted, Bosch, but with "made in PRC" on the box.
Sigh.
Inevitably, chinesium pads rusted solid on the caliper bridge.
Dragging brakes, and lousy fuel consumption.
So, as posted elsewhere,
Genuine VW lucas pads, price point £26 plus.
Genuine Peugeot Lucas pads, price point £16 plus.
So, being greedy & credulous, Peugeot is what I ordered.
and..................
they fit perfectly.
One set left from this seller,
mine were water damaged,
but that was the packaging, pads were fine with genuine citroen peugeot logos
