Was all done under warranty, so I got no documentation to show.. I will email them and see if there is anything I can obtain.

To be honest if it's not causing an issue might be ok to leave it until it does.. If it is making a noise then the price can be changed big time if the adjuster needs changing (think this is a £250+ part).. The kit with the tensioner and chain is around £150 odd+ then you have the labour of 3 to 4 hours. Could end up being expensive :fighting:

I can start to hear it more in the cabin now (I dunno if it's because my ears are more tuned to it as I've been reading these threads or if it's actually happening!) I'll start with the follower and see how I get on...

I really didnt want to re-visit this invoice but here it is anyway. The morale of the story is dont drive it hard when its cold.
