@GTi-Andy at first i was not going to replace the adjustor but i rounded off the bolt holding it on. And f*cked it up when drilling it out.
Here is the thread the guys on here helped me get it sorted.

How she sounded before http://daz.co/audio/open.mp3
After http://daz.co/audio/carnew1.mp3
TBH she sounds even better now without the engine cover.
Andy are you going to change it yourself? If so i can send you the VW bit for the adjustor bolt and the sh*tty cam locking tool. (I was recommended not to use this as it may flex slightly)

Had this problem on my 2006 bwa gti. Total cost was 800 odd at vw for it all doing

Dazza, if i could borrow that around April time that'd be great!
Put the car in twice for cam adjuster replacement to a VW specialist and twice it came out without it being replaced. Going to a trusted Renault specialist in April when I go Hawaii so would likely be beneficial to him to save him buying one (And might keep my costs down!)
GTi-Andy:
I'll take you up on that please @dazza I won't be doing the job but my mechanic will. Cheers
dazza:
No worries. Maybe a small deposit can be left then they get passed onto the next member etc.
The cam lock and VW bit came to £80 in total.
