Chris, this is probably a bit late but the figure in the Haynes for the Timing Chain Tensioner Plug is 35Nm

thanks for the reply, it not to late i didnt get round to doing today, but ive installed all the wiring for my cd changer and installed an electric aerial plus removed a car phone kit of somesort, replaced all the interior bulbs so they all work aswell. so not all bad apart from the fact i cant pick up any radio stations now :? will hopefully do the tensioner tomorrow. Thanks for the info. (i hope my haynes manual turns up soon)
