I had to remove the tensioner assembly on mine recently in order to replace the dodgy oil pressure sender, which hides under the tensioner!

Hope his helps

i'm wondering if it is easily replaced or if in fact its ok and i might have a bigger problem

The smooth is the idler pulley, the tensioner pulley is grooved. Unfortunately, the grooved pulley isn't available from Dayco in Oz as a separate item, one has to buy the whole tensioner. I got just the pulley from the USA when I was there on holiday.
