Thats bad news mate. But at least when it is done you will have peace of mind
I would add antifreeze to your list Dave.OK just to firm things up I'm ordering the bits today, so I need:
Cooling fan
Viscous coupling (sorted thanks to Ant)
Thermostat
Water pump
Aux belt
Expansion tank pipe.
Is that everything? Thanks for everyones help.
Grumps.

Good point thanks mate.I would add antifreeze to your list Dave.
You have a valid point there Bertie. I shall get straight onto it going in through the removed front wings and the doors!Whilst you are in there I would check the head gasket and the vanos- infact, maybe drop the entire engine and check the paintwork at the back as that could be dusty![]()
Just Joking, these things happen (But always when you don't want them too)On my 2000 2.0 the AC was driven by a seperate belt I think? Either way best to blitz the lot at the same time Dave.No, no air con Gaz.
Yeah, that's why I mentioned that he wouldn't need the second beltOn my 2000 2.0 the AC was driven by a seperate belt I think?
The belt tensioner itself would be on my list mate. I changed the one on my Z3 last year as the bearings were shot and it made an horrendous racket, thought it was a trans problem TBH. (video on YouTube)OK just to firm things up I'm ordering the bits today, so I need:
