2.1 TD 16v aux' belt tensioner.

Having resolved the broken cam belt isue with another engine[ £700 fitted] I have a very flappy aux belt. Is failing spring tension a common problem with the automatic tensioner? I intend to replace the belt any way but any comments?

2.1 12V CAM BELT

The belt is broken. Never never never believe a man, woman or a dog telling you a car has a good cam belt without documentry evidence.
Thanks for the advice guys but having got the Haynes manual it informs me that the engine must be removed to get the head off!
Any one want to buy a 406?

DT 2.1 12v cam belt. 77k

I strogly suspect that my cam belt has failed while at 70mph. Sudden loss of power followed by rapid [machine gun fire] mechanical, tappet like noise [valves hitting pistons]? RAC man checked injector pump no output? Could it be fuel lift pump? I will have the belt cover off later this am. I have me...
