It has an auto tensioner on the pulley, think its a 13mm nut - Nice easy job but access may be an issue

thanks for the reply, yes i have checked mine and it does seem to be an auto tensioner with a nut on it.
iv got a new belt on order, dayco branded one, for under £13 ford wants over 30 quid for it!!!!
prices have gone up n these mark 3's.

haynes manual says to remove the drivers side wheel for better access to changing it.

i will take photos and put up a guide incase anyone has trouble in the future. although looks like these cars are now getting rare, hardly one one posting on the forums anymore.
