New heated seat element in passenger seat - found why it stopped working (burn hole in mat!).
Changed the speaker behind the instrument cluster - indicator, park distance and set belt boings are back.
Changed the tensioners (upper and lower) on aux belt - all quiet again...
did not think I would get it all done (famous last words)
feels like a newer car again -Bonatti Grey with Tundra, Duratracs, DISCO3 sticker, De-badged then rebadged in black, EGRs blanked - still saving for IC and BAS remap...
What sort of noise did you get from the tensioners?Mark.
2006, D3 SE Auto - gone but not forgotten.
2014 BMW 530d M Sport Tourer.
1977 Triumph Spitfire 1500

Think it was mainly the lower tensioner - it was clicking (like an injector and seemed to move a lot on idle - also squeaked when engine shut off.
Afterwards no noise and limited movement.Bonatti Grey with Tundra, Duratracs, DISCO3 sticker, De-badged then rebadged in black, EGRs blanked - still saving for IC and BAS remap...
