Last time I did a cambelt (on a Peugeot) I needed a T50. I bought a cheap Torx set off ebay, which fitted a 10mm spanner, for not very much and it did the job fine. I am very proud of the tool I created as access was tight.

Just had a look under the bonnet and it is indeed a T50 you need. There is enough room to get a 3/8 Drive T50 Torx and ratchet onto the bolt and you could almost do the job from the top but you would be working mostly by feel when trying to put the new tensioner on. When I did mine I had removed the top engine mount and dropped the engine a bit which improved access via the inner wheelarch but that was only because I was doing other stuff at the same time. Halfords do good quality tork sets on a rail and also sell them individually if you only wanted one. Good luck! Thumbs Up
