The tensioner bolt I have no problem with replacing, it's on order and expected in at our 'new' Fiat Pro garage. it's the bolts for idler pulley's I'm considering reusing as the replacement ones in SKF kit are not to original spec, and I'm not sure why new ones are supplied.
A little aside, previously I've dealt with three Fiat Pro garages and have found them to offer a very poor service. When realising I needed to order a new bolt from Fiat I looked up the nearest Fiat Pro, and they where no longer listed, so I looked up the second nearest, these have changed and now it's 'Northern Commercials' at Dunstable, the people there where very helpful with regard to sorting out parts, although they could offer no reason as to why Fiat (and others) supply new idler pulley bolts, and the only way they could get new idler pulley bolts was with a complete kit, and they even found a 'cheaper' Iveco kit which contained the idler pulley bolt, although this was still over £100.

To add to above post, I have ordered a replacement bolt for tensioner pulley from Fiat, as Euro Car Parts cannot supply the bolt.
The bolt they do supply in kit is for the idler pulley, and in place of the Fiat style bolt with large flange, they (SKF) have substituted a bolt with small flange and washer to bridge the gap, I'm not too happy with this as it seems a bodge, if it's fine to refit the original (which looks hardly used) I'd rather do that.

Ducato 2011 2.3, am changing the timing belt, I note that the timing belt kits (Fiat and aftermarket) include a new bolt for idler pulley (and idler pulley on aux drive belts), but not the tensioner pulley, this would seem to indicate that the idler pulley's are held on by stretch bolts, but tensioner pulley is standard flanged bolt, the markings on the tensioner pulley are so badly impressed it's hard to tell what it is. So bearing in mind previous threads on this subject, does anyone know for certain if this bolt needs changing?

On our Campscout as well as straps the cylinder base drops into a hole, this was very tight when new, it was a case of rocking the cylinder and wedging one side and rocking against that until it came out. After a couple of cylinder changes I got a drum sander out to the hole to enlarge it a couple of millimetres.

As a temporary solution, will switching off the main control panel for van disable it?

No idea of the answer to your question, but I do recall the van, or more precisely the graphics.

Odd, I see orange website quotes 45p/mb for EU, I've had two texts this month from them, first said 14p/mb second was 18p/mb. It's highly unlikely we'll be holidaying in EU this year so have not bothered checking which is right.

Wine bottles: best not carried if its not good enough to drink on the spot its not good enough to take for later/home. (lol)
Would have saved on having to up the tyre pressures on our last trip back from france, but would have been hell of an hangover (lol)

Sort of, but I'm still puzzled that AFAIK the kits include the idler bolts, but the tensioner bolt has to be purchased separately.
