    cambelt problems (local garages)

    Danny's totally right in the fact I should be getting it done by the specialists but I won't most probably. It's not about it being right or not I just fancy doing it myself and now I know folk near that can do it and willing to help.

    cambelt problems (local garages)

    The tool kit that arrived today never came with the bit to hold the de-phaser in place, it's my luck I would find Renault set after spending £25 on the cheap set. I have not yet spoke to Rentec as I have been busy . I shall ring them Monday and see what they say to it and ask them about this "...

    You have all been great like i know as my first time doing the belt i should have professional supervision and i would prefer to learn how to do it over giving the car away to have it be done, In an ideal world i would have a guy who has done lots help me do it so i can do it again in the future...

    cambelt problems (local garages)

    Lol my car was pretty cheap like and i do get it would be better to have someone who has done a load of them to either do it for me, i obviously don't want to destroy the car but on the other hand i have always worked on my own cars too and learning from someone who does them would be better as...

    I will be reading and printing it along with everything else I can get my hands on, I work in a unit with 3 Renault 5 turbos that I have been building and the more everyone says I can't the more I want to do it myself. I wouldn't tackle it if I thought it was going to be that hard but you got to...

    cambelt problems (local garages)

    Maybe but I read a thread on here that said I didn't need all the tools for just changing the belt and tensioners. I don't earn enough in a month to have cash to have a specialist even look at it nor will I have until July and that's a maybe. Can i not be competent enough to do this with the...

    cambelt problems (local garages)

I cant...
