Here's the promised pictures. The tensioner pulley is a modified XUD diesel timing belt tensioner.
I've also fitted another pulley to increase the contact area on the 90a/h alternator. It's the bit in between the U shaped hose, it's from an XM and fits on the alternator mounting bolt.

That second pulley looks the goods as regards getting the belt area contact.
A word to the wise as regards the cars (16Vs anyway) with air/con that might help you guys over there who have it, is to back off the alternator adjustment and sit the belt into position. Adjust the tensioner up to near its maximum tension setting and then adjust the belt via the alternator adjustment. This pulls the belt about another 10 - 15 degrees around the compressor and crankshaft pulleys and helps prevent the horrible high pitched squeal that comes from them when the air/con is turned on when the car is red hot inside and on a hot day. Once they slip a couple of times, this slip tends then to become a common occurrence on start up regardless of how the belt is adjusted and eventually results in another new belt.

By the time you're old enough to know it all, you can't remember why you were learning.
For future reference, would these guys be a starter to be able to supply something like this?
