I'd be checking your bottom pulley, it sounds like that may be starting to move about. The tensioner looks OK to me, certainly not dead yet!
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

I replaced the tensioner, belt, and a second hand crank pulley this still happened. Then I replaced crank pulley with brand new corteco solved the problem for me. exact same symptoms (bouncing tensioner-stopping with revs)

Ah, thanx for the info guys.
The crank pulley looks ok static though. By that I mean it doesn't show any signs of being eccentric. I know it's a two piece jobby and looked for signs of it this afternoon since I have seen pics of how it appears when they go wafty. I'll try and watch it with the engine running tomorrow after work.
Am i right in thinking the Pug 307 pulley is a solid one and will fit?
WoW! That was cheap!

I think the visual signs at the time were orange rust around the inside bolt of the pulley, also any cracks in the middle rubber ring.
There was a solid revision for the 307 but i couldnt say for the fitting to 306.
Cheers

It fits and works just fine, used them for years. Iirc there's a 4mm difference in diameter, makes virtually no difference in operation. It's not entirely solid, but does seem to be of a more durable construction.
