Drive belts

Merry christmas to you all!
anyway been looking under the bonnet of the v6 today and noticed that the auxilary belts dont look to great, and with the engine running the top tensioner seems to be rocking on its bearings, do these wear out often and if so are they expensive?

On a lighter note got quoted £12 each for drop links for the front suspension so am well happy with that!

Do you mean Cam belt tensioner ?? Mine bust a while back and it cost me about £350 to get that and all the belts done.

Mine went at about 150k but It is a good idea to change at around 108k when do ing the cambelt.
