thanks for answering my query. Have found the part, sent over from U.K. (I'm in Spain.), but still the drive belt comes off the pulley, so now not sure if its a question of tightening the belts somehow, as my local yokel supposedly repair shop has no solutions, as he doesn't handle this make, and my referral to part supplier says it should be o.k. If this sounds a bit sketchy it's because I don't understand the workings of anything mechanical.... Any suggestions? thanks again
