Are thems the people who alledgedly pass cloned/pattern parts off as genuine :-\

Changed the Aux belt but have another problem now there's a problem with the aux idler pulley, Best place to buy one (for a 3.2 V6)

If it's just noisy, then remove it. You can then carefully strip it down one side at a time and repack the bearings :y

Got a genuine aux belt for 99p Only took 3 hrs to fit it , stupid engine mount bolt >:(

That's because the engine is the wrong way round ::)

Thats Autovaux. I think LMF clearly state if their parts are pattern. Though their pattern steering idlers are made of cheese.

sadly not on everything.......and if you get a fault with say an engine sensor, they want it back for testing (not good on crank sensors as you are left with a bloody great big hole) and take a bloody age to respond once they get it.

Much better parts suppliers out there
