I have purchased a number of items from him. Just make sure the adjuster is loose and turns freely. It would not hurt to have a spare pulley tensioner for that price.
Sheared Bolt Advice Please!

Upadte folks-
Got round to sorting the adjuster pulley bolt, & unfortunately the MG/Rover part doesn't fit (I dare say it would if you get it machined)
But the original Mini part I sourced on eBay fitted fine, like for like.
See attached pic of the MG/Rover part WAM3718
Also fitted a new drivers window regulator while I was at it so all up & running.
So it looks like second hand is the only way to go if your daft like me & shear the bolt, unless you get one made/modified.
Cheers for all the advice.

Just tried to buy it & its gone!
I suppose it was a bit daft of me to post a link to a hard to find Mini component on a Mini forum.
Hey ho, lets hope the Rover part fits!

It won't be any consolation to you, but I missed it too. It wasn't there long after you told us about it.

Send him a message. He usually gets items on a regular basis, he may have another just not listed yet.

I did just that mate, & he sorted me one out.
Seems like a decent chap
