How much does a timing belt change cost?
Belt change is 100k or 10 years whichever is first. I can’t imagine it costing much more than £300 and the kit will contain a new tensioner. Get the water pump done at the same time, new coolant, expansion tank cap and you’ll be good for another 100,000 miles. To have it done now or at 100,000 is your call.
