I’d like to get independent forum opinions first from people who have done the job, to see if the quote they come back with is the going rate or or not

Car in garage, timing is out causing a rough idle. Confirmed using genuine renault timing tools. Belts etc are new, so how many hours of labour should I be looking at just for timing adjustment?

Limited paperwork with the car, but belts were done around 2 years ago, it’s dave120’s old car on here and he didn’t have an issue.

Intake manifold prrssure at idle says 410mbar (410kpa) some one on one if the facebook groups aaid it should be 360mbar so my timing might be out? Be suprised if timing out as owner before last didnt have idle issues and belts not done since. Is that correct as I thought around 400mbar was...

Yeah battery all ok now showing 14.5v and still lumpy

Ok so here’s my graph data how does it look?
