The front accesory drive was quite noisy, a definite bearing failure!

The old tensioner below an original DAYCO part 20yr old.

The brand new Tensioner, again a DAYCO part was completely fuckered out the box, it sounded worse than the old one!!!

Rocked from side to side too!!

Not happy.

She needed a new alternator too, atleast the new one fitted!!!

Rimmer Bros..

It wasn't their "value" brand but it wasn't cheap, considering aswell it is a Dayco i'd expect better!!
