is the one you want, lemforder, and the one we all use.  a good trusted part.
many have put your links on, and within a month found them worse than the one they took off!

Dont waste your money.

As Jimbob says DO NOT USE THE CHEAP IDLER, it will fail very quickly and you will change it again.

The link in Jimbob's post is a Lemforder part and will do the job :y

I'll dig out my very own book of bollax then  ;D

That's if I can find it.  I've only ever used it for the wiring diagrams.  :-/
