If renewed, the tensioner pulley needs to be adjusted by following these instructions which are not in the MG Rover dealer manual or included with Gates products.
As far as garage prices are concerned, I don't have direct experience of this because I did the job myself. There is an awful lot of work involved and I believe that you should expect a quote around £800. More important than price however is use of the special service tools so ask specifically (1) whether the garage has done this job before on a KV6 and (2) whether they used and have the service tools. The answer should be yes and yes.

Had 3 quotes so far ranging from £500 to £700, but the garages that won't quote immediately say they don't have the correct tools without me asking.
