Well done that man! You get the prize ! Said tame mechanic chum turned
up out of the blue late afternoon and whipped off the belt cover. Lo and
behold, there it was. Belt tensioner broken up. He made a quick call to
one of his suppliers, and we got a tensioner kit for 35 quid. He's only
fitted the actual tensioner right now, as it got dark and cold, but he's
going to come back and fit the idler that was in the kit, as well as a
new belt, which he says is overdue for replacement, and should be done
at the same time as we are changing the tensioner gubbins. Still, like
you, no other damage, and looks as though the timing has remained
correct, as the engine is starting and running fine, and doesn't seem to
be lacking any power.

Might I suggest buying a Lotto ticket this week?
