I think I have about 5 or 6 of the bloody things, but I can’t lay my hands on them until tomorrow at the earliest

Check that the tensioner is working ,or all the work will be for nothing.

The pin on the hydraulic shouldnt move in or out sounds like its knackered you usally need a vice
to push the pin in if it any good and you want to reuse it

Yes I had to put it in a vice to slowly compress it, I can't push by hand

And lastly , everyone needs to know this.
IF you over-tighten the screws that hold the tensioner in place and it snaps off in the engine block , I have the only piece of kit IN THE WORLD ,
that will allow you to remove the piece left in the hole.........without removing the engine.
Remember.

Finally after 5 attempts I have the correct water pump, I've fitted that, I'm about to fit the new cambelt tensioner but I've found a 12mm spring washer?? Does this go behind the tensioner, ?? I've bought a haynes manual but it hadn't arrived yet and I was hoping to fit tonight? Cheers Mark
