Which belt tensioner. 1.9DT

I have an R Reg Peugeot 406 1.9DT Estate, it has Aircon and a bosch fuel pump (if that is relevant) the belt tensioner for the alternator is knackered (flapping about) and needs replacing.

Places like GSF and Eurocarparts seem to list between 3 and 10 polley belt tensioners for this model with absolutely no clue as to how to tell which one I need.

Its the tensioner that you can see obviously between the alternator and the engine block.

From GSF (http://secure.gsfcarparts.com/shop/results.asp) there are 3 tensioners listed for the 406TD+Aircon:

135PC0010 RIBBED BELT TENSIONER 406 1.9TD + AIRCON £73.00
135PC0090 RIBBED BELT TENSIONER 406 1.9TD + AIRCON £45.00
135PC0100 RIBBED BELT TENSIONER 406 1.9TD + AIRCON £43.70

Can anyone tell me which one I need as I want to get it replaced ASAP.

Is there a part number printed on the belt you've currently got?

Its the tensioner I need rather than the belt.

And it will have a Peugeot part number that doesn't relate to the GSF/Eurocarpart part numbers.
