    if your timing belt came off you might have bent your valves if you have it will be expensive unless you get a seconfd hand head mate

    I'd get down the scrappy, I'm sure most TU alt tensioners are the same, I broke a xsara vtr and that had the same tensioner on it as my vts, just beware that the adjusters can seize up though, but a little effort can sort them out.

    Edit* or get the one off Sam in the above post

    If it's the pulley bolted to the crank it's about £70 new from Citroen iirc, could even be more.

    Fuck that £140 for a 20 min job. Royal Mail 1st class recorded and the parts would be with you by friday, fuck even pay for next day delivery and do it yourself.

    Thats why i hate going to garages
