Hey gang -
Rover is in the shop d/t a whine with one of its pulleys and they diagnosed it as the tensioner pulley. From the dealer this is a 90 something dollar part along with the belt which is about 50. They said it might be the entire assembly but wont know until they get it off.

The car is sold - Im doing this as a good gesture before selling it. What do you guys guess is an honest amount of labor time to replace this pulley and throw a new belt on?

Thanks in advance - I loved the Discovery but my insurance is ridiculous and I couldnt justify spending that much money a month to drive something I really dont need. I will be back in one again - but Ill have a better job that will allow more flexibility...Thanks for everyones help along the way - It was an enjoyable 5 months of ownership.
