my land rover decided to sieze its tensioner pulley yesterday on the way home from uni, luckily id only got a couple of miles before it seized.
not being able to find one on a friday afternoon, i set about bodging it by replacing the bolt with a thinner one and lathed up a brass bush. it got me home JUST. now all the balls have gone from the bearing and i am in dire need of a replacement before monday which is a big ask i know because everywhere useful shuts today at lunchtime.

i assumed it was a 200TDI air con tensioner pulley from a disco as thats where i got it from. but the ones i can find online are different and clamp around the fuel pump cover. which i cant use that setup for my application.
