gasket

[hass]

my clio just come back from the body shop had it colour coded and the back resprayed and the car touched up.
drove it down the road and it was making a rattling kind of noise, got home opened the bonnet and see oil in the plugs, on the side of the engine and near the induction kit.
took it to my mates uncles garage and he goes its the gasket, would any one know how much that would be to get it replaced?

It's a rocker cover gasket. Not much, and a quick fix normally, although I don't know my way round the 1.2s

i took it to the garage and the guy goes its a hard and long job as you got to open the engine and that

Hard and long job for a rocker cover gasket? hmmmm...

 

[hass]

any one know how this is done or is it best i take it to the garage? want to take it to renault's but kind of drawed away after reading the thread about the dealers

 

[hass]

any rough price?

 

[Struggler]

about £60 for a gasket set, then probs about 2-3 hours labour at £40 an hour,

or if your handy with a spanner you could do it yourself, but you neeeeeeeeeeed to tighten the bolts up exactly!
