It is just the bearing gone on the alternator tensioner. Nothing too serious. Got a quote for £80 to change it and that inc parts and labour and vat I think.

when you say into lock I am guessing you mean 4th? When I test drove it yesterday and really put my foor down it just got into 4th at about 55mph then I had to break for a roundabout! I will just have to remeber to go at about 63mph on motorways then! :lol:

£80 isn't bad.
Just so you know, a new tentioner is about £43 +vat and a new drive belt is about £7 +vat (carefull though cos if the belt has Land Rover written on it then that puts the price up to about £23!  :shock: )
