Bit of an update. My new mechanic fitted the Bendix today and it fits and works perfectly (well so far)
However when he took the old one out there was a bit of rubber stuck in it which presumably was from when the belt snapped the other week. So maybe there is nothing wrong with the old one and it just needed taking out and cleaning out. So, at least we now know that those £30 supposedly genuine Honda parts (came in a Honda bag) do fit. Bit cheaper than paying £115 for the one with the right UK part number. Ill eat my words I suppose if it falls to bits ten miles up the road.
Honda Vision 110 Bendix which is the right one?

Good to know ,but time to change mechanic as he cleaned it the best he could ...or not very well at all.

I just started using him. I am not exactly blessed with options for mechanics here and he seems to know what he is talking about but I dont so I am kind of at the mercy of what ever anyone tells me. Would you normally remove the Bendix and check it when changing a belt?

Not when changing the belt but if it did not work the most common cause would be muck in it,but he said he had cleaned it.

Actually your right he did say that in his email. Presumably without taking it out. However I think he only discovered it today when he took the old one out. I wasn't watching as I was sat in the van but he came over and told me so I guess he could have just changed it and said nothing.
