Simon,
I think you need to do some reading and research.
Forgive my ignorance but it sounds like you don't really know what this kind of work involves.
Forged pistons, conrods and ARP fasteners £900ish
Belts, tensioners, bearings, gaskets, seals, fasteners, oil jets etc. £600
Machine work -...
Trueview should do the job for you? There is a 2013 version available..
Or as Rob Said ask the person who sent you the drawing to save it in a more usable format.
I assume you're not using AutoCAD 2004?!
Any external card that can be fitted to a device (smart phone, camera etc.) is considered "expandable" memory, but they are a fixed size. Perhaps he is referring to that?
For example my phone has 16Gb onboard storage but I can add another 16Gb, by installing a micro SD card.
No point in upgrading the springs for 421's.
And seriously, you are swapping from 438's to 421's???? - You will see ZERO gain. Essentially they are the same cam profile, just timed up differently iirc.
Looking at that photo its definitely something steering related that's broken. Maybe it was that all along?
I would fit new genuine inner arms mate, I am not convinced those pattern ones are correct :(
You kept the exhaust purchase quiet! - same system as my old one... you'll need some ear defenders ;)
I've got your oils and fitting kit at work, I'll pop round Saturday.
If you guys could design an adjustable front ARB for the Clio B that would certainly be a good one... Also, the Whiteline rear ARB design could be easily improved.
With regards to the Megane, send me a PM if you would like to discuss further. I am one of the Moderators on the RSMegane forum.
Chaz,
Would you be interested in further development of the Megane II RS (225, r26, r26.r) products?
You currently have a coilover kit that was designed on the early PH-1 225 with lower spring and dampner rates, which is a front coilover but separate rear spring and dampner.
Currently the...
Get the belts and cams fitted at Diamond Motors, Long Eaton.
Don't drive like a tool with cams fitted and the car unmapped, keep revs below 4K.
Get the car mapped at RStuning, Leeds.
It cannot get much simpler than that.
He is the man, check our his Traders Section on the Forum... I could name 10+ people I personally know who can recommend his work.
If you are local there is no reason to travel any further.
matt911 where in Derbyshire do you live?
I would recommend MicKPM who runs Diamond motors in Long Eaton to do your belts and cams, give him a call / e-mail.
Another stupid comment.
Any decent garage wouldn't possibly fit parts you have supplied and warrant them.
It wouldn't be any cheaper you buying the parts and a specialist fitting them.

Timing belt is 72k miles or 5yrs.
Aux belt kit is 36k or 3yrs.
Those figures are the limit. I've seen aux belts / tensioners fail before that time.
Get the belts replaced ASAP, you are driving a ticking bomb....
You don't need an aftermarket ECU for 421's. Essentially 438's are the same as 421's just timed differently.
If you raise the idle by a couple of 100rpm 421's idle and run fine on OEM management (obviously with a remap to suit).
What are you doing with your fuel system? - I still don't know if I am going to run an alloy rail with return and inline FPR or stick with just the uprated pump.
