Belt Tensioner Tool help

Hello everyone!

I have had my Mini for around 7 years now and its been a constant battle just to have it running. The recent problem that I have is a loud recurring noise coming from my belt area (occasionally). When this noise comes out, my car goes into limp mode and flashes the DSC and EML light.

Around 5 months ago, I changed the tensioner (because of the tensioner noise) and replaced it with a new belt. In doing so, it has been running fine until recently.

I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and I was also wondering if anyone had a belt tensioner tool that I could perhaps loan.

Thanks!!! and Aloha!
