Hi guys, my Clio has done 64000 now so time is approaching for cam/aux belt change round 2. Dephaser is definitely on its way out as well so that needs doing. Is there anything else that anyone can recommend I should change at this service interval while it's all apart?! cheers

hi Mick, Spoke to the mechanic that does all the work on my vehicle. mentioned the plugs problem and he said about overheating? that i should keep an eye on it. Not an easy thing to do on the 182 really. What do you think? thanks
