If you don't mind travelling I have one in Gloucester that's yours for a fiver. It's covered 60k miles and it's the style of the second link you sent.
Yours will most likely be the style of the second one. If you want to make sure then PM me your VIN and I will check for you.
Fitting is simple on the 1.4 8v engine. You'll need some decent sockets and a decent breaker bar. The tensioner is held on with 2 10mm (IIRC) bolts and should just wiggle out. Swap the tensioners and then use a socket, set to loosen because it's a left hand thread, on the centre of the new tensioner. This will give you the wiggle room to place the new belt over the top. Then you're home free.
Hope that helps

I've spoken to the mechanic and had a look and it's the first one I need which Is a fair old wack to the bank balance especially after the lovely mot bill it just give me

And I'm guessing that you can't swap them either? Guess I better raise some cash if the scrap dealer hasn't got any.

Also check carparts4less as this is ECP's internet only shop .. sells a bit cheaper and there are discounts available. Try DISCOUNT15 at the moment.

Did you not look at the links I posted above? You can have the entire kit including the new tensioner, guide pulley, bolts and belt for £62?
#10: Re: correct part help please Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Tue Jul 05, 2016 11:27 am ---- just go this
this was the part that was going to cost me £90 from the garage, so brought that and then getting them to source a new belt and fit them
so hopefully saved a few bob
the links you posted were not the correct tensioner for my car I've had a look at my car now i know where im looking and the above link was the correct part needed

#11: Re: correct part help please Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Tue Jul 05, 2016 11:32 am ---- the other is for 206s from 2002 onwards whilst the one i ordered is for models up to 2002 so thats the year they decided to replace the tensioner with a cheaper sourced part. Hence why my stupid car has a different more expensive tensioner
#12: Re: correct part help please Author: FrankAteMyName, Location: TewkesburyPosted: Tue Jul 05, 2016 11:48 am ---- If you have a decent socket set and a couple spanners then this job will be simple to do on the drive
#13: Re: correct part help please Author: nemesislee, Location: stokePosted: Tue Jul 05, 2016 12:44 pm ---- i would love to do it myself but having to disassemble the tensioner might throw some problems at me expecially with it being seized up. fingers crossed that on friday i'll be able to start my car without a stupid loud chirping noise
