Ive taken note of the comments here and canceled the order, now got one comming from my local suplier at a cost of £61 made by SKF, they said there a good brand,

but as said, you only needed to buy the roller  ::)

Thats on mine-wait for others to say no no no buy vx only-b******x mine done 70000 so far Yes 70000 cars done 241090
No issue with non GM parts for that part, as long as its a quality bearing. But I'd only change the actual tensioner if it had failed, otherwise just the pulley/bearing.

Yeah i know, my local parts center has no listing for just the bearing roller ad the guy needs the car ASAP and was prepared to pay the cost, so that is what i will do, i did try to tell him otherwise,
On another note, does the belt on the 2.6 route the same as on the 2.5, if not has anyone got a copy of the routing diagram please?

And once again many thanks for prompt replies
