Morning all, got the car Friday. All good. Went for a quick drive this morning and it has like a 'tappety' noise under hard acceleration.

Google suggests the crank shaft pulley, could I be lucky with just a tensioner change? How much is a pulley to be replaced? Cars on 97k but has been sat for 2 months prior to me buying. I've done maybe 200miles?

Other than that, what a great little car.
