I have a 2003 TX2 that has the typical TX2 issue with the FEAD Belt rattling on overrun which was always a issue with the early type pivot plates / dampers
The early type tensioners are a little tricky to get hold of and always fail. Now my parts supplier accidently sent me the later type tensioner and I think it should be possible to fit the later and quite honestly better tensioner
However in order to fit this I know I will definitely have to source a later bracket that fits to the nearside of the engine where the idler pulley and damper bolts to does anyone know if I need any other parts to carry out this conversion

Maybe here -

Otherwise, I'd imagine it's a mod that Transit/Defender owners have tried.
