Thanks for the tip Clan.
Although (with a helping hand to fit the new belt - see my reply to Bulldogdrummond) it was indeed a straightforward job the only problem I had was in removing the tension on the old tensioner as the Torx bit just chewed up the small (T40?) torx tension releasing hole even when fully inserted. I ended up having to just lever the belt off the tensioner pulley without releasing the tension. I presume this was why it was changed to a T60 in the later tensioner.
