To time in with the nice weather I have discovered that I have a failed chain tensioner

Thanks for your help in identifying this.
I dont want to start the never ending discusssion on what type is right but rather confirm what my options are as I am getting a bit confused
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
I think I have 4 options
1 Solid tensioners - no thanks
2 Refurb my old ones - but cant seem to find any kits for this
3 early 930 tensioners - can collars be fitted to these?
4 later pressure fed 930
As far as money goes if fitting the early 930 might as well go the whole hog and do the pressure fed.
Inclined to go with refurb origionals refit collars, I know what the sound I am looking for if one fails again.

The upgraded idler gear looks a good bet but if I do this I have to go with later tensioners?
Your thought would be most welcome, funds are pointing me to cheapest route but dont want to be a false economy.
Also with the chain covers removed how much oil would you expect to come out? I had a couple of pints out when I first removed them and left a small tub underneath to catch any more drips but must have had at least a couple more since then. Dont know exactly as my small tub overflowed and is now killing my grass.
