Should never have to be replaced unless its giving trouble. As I said, once the oil is changed regularly then the chain and tensioner s should last as long as the car.

Depends on the car, Alot of seat's and mercs give chain trouble,better to change them at 80-100k rather than having to drive home in limp mode from the arsehole of nowhere.

9 Fingers, never stops giving! I think you should start charging the boys for your valued information tho.

Yeah but the cheap ones aren't very reliable. A decent one a biggish garage would have could cost 10k +

Happy days glad your gettin sorted

What was the wheel alignment (side slip) reading on the top right of the NCT report? For abnormal tyre wear ie yours they can only fail it if the cord is showing, I'd imagine it wasn't on the day Daithi.
