Thought that was going to be worse!
Checking the 2.0 over today as it has an mot in a couple of weeks and I felt the cam belt had a little too much play so went to undo the tensioner bolts and this was the result
Fortunately the bolt had just started to come loose before it sheared and the remainder came out with grips on the bit left protruding. Phew!

Well you were looking to increase the tension, and I bet that certainly did

That could have been a disaster, but glad you managed to sort it easily, Peter.
