Thanks guys! Is there an easy way to tighten the belt (if it is not the bearing)?

The bearing that carries the pulley can be removed and changed relatively easily.

One 13 mm bolt and a large allen key for the cutout in the tensioner. Wammers will tell you what size or do a search.

As ok, so the tensioner pully keeps the belt tight. So either the bearing on the tensioner is worn or the tensioner is not tight enough? Can you get at it without taking put the radiator, condenser, etc?

Yup, done from underneath, remove the bottom engine cover and all will be revealed. Small belt drives the compressor from the crankshaft pulley with the tensioner between them. Undo the bolt and remove the tensioner and give it a spin.
Rave- Air con- service op. 82-20-01. It shows a dust cover that has to be removed, mine didn't have one

Not a lot of room on mine. IIRC I think I ended up taking the viscous fan out to make room rather than muck about. There isn't a lot of tension that could be taken up on mine so belt may need replacing. Think we worked out there are at least 3 belt sizes out there!

I may need a new belt after my recent sortie to the South West. Even lettuce comes with clotted cream.

Yeah but there are two threaded holes to fit the fulcrum pivot in i believe.
