Underneath front

See above. Don't fvck about with petrol, people are far far too complacent with the stuff.

They don't seem to leak as much I don't think. D4F is a guaranteed job with a cambelt.

The 1.2 ones are crap, rest are ok.

Climate control or manual heating?

Top class teamaker?

701 won't be up to much.

Looks like a genuine one to me. (thats upside down btw)

Swapped the computers on the bottom over as well as the ballast yes?

Nope its an all in one. Not very expensive either (or didn't use to be).

Nah don't bother you'll be fine. Its only to stop bits of crap getting in the engine.

TRX has been replaced by TRJ iirc. Renault should sell whatever the latest stuff is if you were hellbent on elf oil. Otherwise get on opie oils and order some Motylgear 75w80 decent stuff.

This is the evidence you're looking for. Not the rad specifically but thats what coolant looks like when it leaks and dries.

Is there no white residue anywhere obvious? Feel the bottom of the stat housing it'll be covered in it if its leaking from there, its a white chalky residue you're looking for. Very distinctive smell.

Laser one will bend if its left in trying to crack the pulley fixings, you'll have to get a renault one and i'd still be careful then without the old belt on. Other pikeyish option (but it does get you out the s**te) is they'll knock round with a hammer and chisel easily enough with a slot cut...

Check the rear belt too to make sure that pretensioner hasn't fired too.

The smack its taken on that side has probably damaged the driveshaft if not the gearbox. Is there any play in the shaft? If you do change it remember to drain the gearbox oil first as thats a wet cv joint on that side.

Can pick up laser ones on ebay for £40 or so last time I looked.

A new tube is only a tenner from renault if you can't get one of the old ones out.
