They are somewhat rigid and possibly why they do eventually come apart. I feel worth renewing any time, and for any reason, the cam adjuster cover must be removed.No I didn't, I used a parts list on the guide that's on here but I would have if I would have known before... Saying that it seems perfect and I'm pretty sure the oil pressure light came on only due to a large piece of the tensioner temporarily blocking the strainer on the pick up pipe. I'm going on a 250 mile journey at the weekend, that should be a good test for whether everything is okay.

Gave my Ed30 a clean and did the engine bay while I was at it
Just changed both front grills and the fog light surrounds as the old one's looked a bit discoloured, what a PITA.
Just had this bad boy delivered. Now I have to fit it (hopefully next Friday!)
I paid £590 from AKS then I saw sico developments are doing them for £550. Comes with all the pipes, clips, bolts to fit it. I believe there's some trimming Required to fit. Will report back after Friday. Wish me luck!!
