Try Autodoc. Usually lots of choice of brands to pick from.

Having just changed the auxiliary drivebelt, I can say that it was nowhere near as difficult as I expected!

I did my tensioner at the weekend, wished I’d got a belt to chuck on at the same time.

Ahh excellent. I need to check where the noise is on mine, going to do the water test on belt tomorrow or check the tensioner/pulley. Hopefully find out which one it is and it be the tensioner nice n easy lol. Did you remove the fan assembly too or just the top plastics behind grill? How long did it take u too please |

Nope just the turbo hose. On the 405 that is just about enough space. Just. It’s fiddly to get the tensioner off but it is doable, don’t drop the bolts….. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Probably took me less than an hour. As mentioned, it's worth removing a few covers and air pipes just to improve access. You still can't see everything (e.g. alternator pulley), but it seems to get back into place OK.

Great thanks for replying. Was yours preventative maintenance or did you have a chirp/squeal sound? |

Just preventative maintenance. I wasn't sure if it had ever been done, and the car is now 11 years old at 140,000 miles so I decided I'd do it. I put the old one in the boot though as it would be an easy repair if the new one broke.
