    Default Rattle from pulley

    Hi all, I've recently become the proud owner of an MG ZT 260 which has been left standing for a couple of years. After driving it home I've noticed quite a loud rattle from the front of the engine which seems to be caused by a pulley/tensioner on the serpentine belt. Unfortunately I can't seem to find replacements anywhere and was wondering if anybody may know the best place to try and get hold of them?

    Thanks in advance

    Welcome James.
    If you return the registration form to Tim you have full access to the site.
    Easier to find information as you'll have access to the members only sections.
    In the meantime you can have a look at www.rockauto.com for Mustang GT (2004) parts. It uses the same engine.

    Hi James, welcome to the Two-Sixties, as Herman says best to get your questionnaire back to Tim to get full site access. Lots of info on tensioners. Whereabouts are you located? What are the last three digits of your VIN?
