    Default tension pullys come off

    cut a long story short

    had to call the aa out because of a noise turned out to be tension pully has come away from the car making a banging noise on the metal , he said there easy to do but somethink about the engne needs to be jacked up to get some room he said £40-£60 max?


    while i get that fitted is there anythink else that they might as well do if there going to fix this?

    The hardest bit is getting the top bolt out as it's kinda hard up against the chassis leg.
