Auto or manual tensioner?
Does the 120 have the auto tensioner or the other 1?

My mechanic is going to do my cam belt, tensioner and water pump for £60 early next year bloody bargain!

Is there anything else that needs to be replaced at the same time? I was thinking maybe the alternator belt what do you think?

It should be an automatic tensioner.
