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.

Haha well I do have the belt kit in the car and I have done a lot more research and I now have met several folk who are local and can help me with it as they have done it before, been buying parts of a boy with 2 sunflower ph1's and everyone near me with ph1 know him and now has become easier to...

Please do, at least till I speak to rentec on Monday al post here what they said on the phone and or if I go down there on Monday

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 "...

Got the video uploaded easier than i thought but having to go from laptop to phone and to laptop is not how i thought the future was going to be like at all 😧

Mm this is the tool that is left on ebay there was a big black one but its vanished, this doesnt look like it would do any good even though it is for illustrative purposes haha...

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...

The First of the tools arrived today the locking pins and the u bend thing and later on the cam belt kit should be arriving. I am ordering the auxiliary belt kit today along with the tool to lock the de-phaser and exhaust pulley in place but i also just found the proper Renault tools at £133 odd...

Fraser Have you done any timing belt s**t before ?

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...

Cheers man, I will be getting that last tool for sure now before I start. I am not replacing the dephaser or I am planning on not changing it yet because it doesn't need it but if I take it apart and it needs done Al have to do it. I will have the video of the noise being made posted the day

Had my dog 13 year and that's a bit below the belt there phase1sr dinnae be bringing the dog into it And why would you and Dannyr be this bothered by the fact I want to do it myself, here is plenty of stuff on here about folk doing it themselves and they were never belittled and got some good...

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...

I only really got my mate who has worked with renault turbos since the early 90's and I will have read up on as much as I can on this too. I became a full member here today so I could get access to the good info I seen a piece already which looks like I am going to use but then is there anyone...

What if i did the work and a specialist just kept an eye on me ? How much would that cost? Hahaha I am a mechanic student but most of my tutors had not hear d of a dephaser before well at the least the name of it haha. I am going to make a list of all these toruqes and check them against...

I did clock another set of toruqes on here and i got an oldish copy of autodata too only goes up to 2011 but even reading the guide on autodata it doesnt seem that hard to do at all and i would need to borrow a proper set of locking tools if mine werent going to cut the mustard its just i cant...

I was having a read of this an finding other info on doing the cam belt change myself. I just bought a cheap camshaft locking tool kit which i thought was going to be enough but after reading this it is seeming like taking my time and using genuine renault s**t isnt going to be enough ? I cant...

Aye they are indeed Exclusive wheels thaty someone previously sprayed black without masking anything up so the brakes and tyres all got a shite coat of black spray paint, i will be painting them silver again properly before swapping or selling them to an exclusive owner, I dont really like them...
