This is question about refitting the OEM cam chain tensioner.
So you screw the tensioner shaft back and hold it with the outer circlip.
Now it says in the manual to remove the plug on the side of the engine to access the circlip when fitted
can this plug be accessed with the engine in place or does it need to remove/lowered.
On the drawing in the manual it looks to close to get at.

Can anyone please advise me. many thanks.

It can be accessed with the engine in place.

Make yourself a small wire with about a 1/4 inch 90 degree bend in it and a pair of needle nose vise grips to hold it with. A very small allen wrench might grap it but usually a small wire works better.

Once you remove the plug you can get to the release on the tensioner. The first time may take you a while to snag it.
