Just get yourself a 10mm box spanner.. like this.

A ring spanner on the top to drive, flat screwdriver down the centre to access the adjuster screw.
Add set of feeler gauges and you have the full kit!! :)

Yea you did but Indi is planning on doing his as well so figured id get the ball rolling on maybe having the proper tool for us both ;)
Fair comment, but I think it might cost you as much in postage to send a borrowed one backwards and forwards than it would for you each to get a box spanner.
I don't think the job is any easier (or less fiddly) with the proper tool, though that is just my opinion. Food for thought.

I've not done my valve clearances yet, so there's still time!
