I found out that my recently posted problem was down to a cracked thermostat housing block. All being replaced now. Also doing the idlers, but I find that the alternator idler comes with a bracket as part LR025823 at an eye watering price of over 200 quid. I
only need the idler and bearing. Is there a replacement option? I can't find anything online.

Sorry, can't help with the idler but I have to say that's a lovely 405, is that an early pre-production one...?? Pete
