Ah, I've just realised that the complete idler assembly shouldn't be necessary for this application -- it's just an "IT-9" tyre that's needed, and that seems to be commonly available on-line I think at very low prices -- presumably it just fits around the plastic pulley.

If I can't get this thing working right, the torque fix doesn't rectify the problem and as you've confirmed the AVBELT56 is OK, I will source one of these. Nothing to lose right?
