It's best to remove your battery and carefully turn your C5 onto its side, I took a while refitting mine after the "Y" clip broke, but the way Chas has said will work, hook the spring first the put the tensioner into position.

Putting it on her side made everything MUCH easier. All fitted now and had a good run with no probs.

First bit of maintenance completed! Thanks everyone!  ;D

Might not have been the best idea to post your name & full address on the forum. These sorts of things should be sent by Personal message or email.

Let me know if you want me to remove/edit your post and delete the quote.
