Its my starter motor, it started fine this morning then I left it with my mechanic all day, started it up and had that horrible sound, its intermittent to say the least, being so cold this morning I expected it but nothing at all....

Fitted the Conti 3 weeks ago and it's still working.

To be honest - doesn't really matter. Bought the conti in the end and actually a very high quality belt.
Go for either one, best price and easily obtainable one.

Fitted and tensioner now within specification
