I like the idea of rocking it forward in gear, i attempted a start and released the key before the engine had fully started. I would say the job gets a 3/10 for difficulty. Anyone thinking of attempting this to solve the problem should

If there is a similarly in-depth article on changing the pre-tensioner it would be greatly received in this post by me and several others!

Thank you for all your help!

hello, working in the motor trade and owning a gt4 one thing i have thought about is you may have replaced the belt but if the noise comes back its most likely the tensioner! best thing to do is to keep an eye on it and if the noise persists maybe think about replacing the tensioner!!

my gt4 1990 has just started squealing!

This more than covered the cost of the extended waranty that I took out (thank goodness).
