I would'nt even wait for a reply to that John. If you suspect the bearing on the tensioner I would be getting it checked. You know what happens if that goes.

Could be water pump :-/

I wouldn't dream of running it if there is a chance of it throwing a belt :(

As per my PM John.   I'm sure I know the car.
Equally sure that he had the cambelt changed a short while ago. Check with Marshalls of Ipswich with your reg number to see what they did...I was sure that's who he sent it to.

I would bet it's wasser pumpen kaput as well. Whether they changed it or not OR whoever did change it, if it was a non-vx pump it may well have failed VERY early. I had two brand new NON VX water pumps go bad within a couple of days. The water leak from which isn't always obvious. Since I insisted on a VX pump, never had the problem again. If you're using some bright coloured coolant, you should see signs of it at the front decorating itself around the pump.
