Being far from handy with a spanner I will be relying on a garage to complete the work. I'm assuming taking it all apart again is going to cost half in labour what it would to just replace the adjuster first time around?!

Hmmm that would be a question for your garage to answer.
However from experience the majority of the time in labour is stripping everything down to get to the tensioner etc

I cant recall a member on here changing the chain and tensioner then having to change the adjustor.

I'm far from handy with a spanner too but is it a hard job? is it easy to mess up? i'm guessing it could go wrong quite badly if so...
CarlW:
i've just had the same done on mine as mine was really noisey and the chain was loose too.. had all new put on without changing the adjuster and made a massive difference on my 05 AXX engine but like people have said.. its more of a piece of mind question rather than if it actually needs changing
