Seen as the car is about to turn 200k I said I’d check the timing chain. Will upload a pic soon. One thing I noticed is the chain is not tight? You can move the chain with two fingers on the top guide, in and out. What’s up with that? Tensioner? I presume once running the tensioner is tight?
 
Does it rattle on start up?
 
That's good news,has the chain been changed in the past?

Hi, I purchased the car with 180k on it so I presuming it’s been changed, what you think of the video, I’m sure last time I checked it was tight!
 
I would not be worried about that...yeah a bit of slack,but if the car starts on the button and there is no

rattle or misfire/hesitation whilst driving, just be on the ball with oil/filter changes and check again next service.
