plastic teeth broken

Hi,
On my mountain bike one of the teeth is broken on the rear jockey wheels.
Now can I replace these or is it a whole new part? Think this is causing some slipping of the chain when I peddle under load. I say this as can't see anything else wrong with the drive chain.
I'll upload an image when i can work out how to share it on drive.

You can replace the jockey wheel, just find one with the same number of teeth. You can't replace the tooth.I don't do smileys.

Ok that is good news then. However it seems to have 14 teeth and I don't seem to be able to find one on the Internet with 14 ...will I have miscounted / done something silly or is this some older style setup that no longer exists?0

Probably worth a recount ?0

Old Alivio/Altus level 8 speed mechs had them. Might not be many left around and would probably cost as much as a cheap mech.

I think I might have one at home somewhere. PM me your address and if I can find it I'll stick it in the post on Monday.I don't do smileys.

It says Acera on the derailleur.
Not sure if that makes a difference? Just googled it and seems a few people still sell them.0
