    timing belt cost

    Thats expensive but thats due to the high labour rate used. 5.1 hours for the cambelt an the kits £140 or so a dealership should replace the belt as it should never be reused and has to come off to do the cambelt. My opion is that expensive I'd personaly do the service myself but depends...

    k4m engine

    No for 2.0 brakes you need 2.0 shafts as well (form memory the shafts are different thickness when they go in the hubs. Also you need the different suspension or to bodge your suspension to fit.

    Scraping noise from front offside on full(ish) right lock

    Check under the bonet on full lcok that the strut tops arn't touching the bodywork they usualy do. The fix by Renault is to grind some of the body away the other fix aftermarket is to get sme washer to lift the top moutn away from the bodyshell more.

    To get 100hp at the wheels you'd need the bigger injectros form the 80 a serious custom remap and a suitable intercooler. also things like k and n etc wll help. WIll be a bit smokly though.

    50k on a T REG 1999

    Depends how is been driven and serviced. Personaly that a bit low for my liking I'd prefere higher miles. Shows the cars only done short journeys most likly which does more harm might as ell save a few quid get a higher milage one which most likly has the same wear

    Get the tracking done proerly don't let them fob you off and not set it straight they have to adjust both stearing arms ie set the wheel straight then set the road wheels to keep the stearing wheel straigh most don't bother and only set the wheels straight as its easier.

    Faulty Renault Clio bonnet catches !!

    The design is the same. Refusing the test is fine IMo the car is deemed as dangerous without having it checked why should an examiner test a pupil in a car with a known point which needs checking.

    When is it time to change the exhaust?

    No reason it should. The 172 are different the rear box is to heavy for the design so they will fail in time.

    k4m engine

    They won't fir the 2.0 hubs and stock 2.0 brakes are better anyway than the uprated stuff you have. The gearbox mounts are in the same place regardless so you can use your old 1.2 shafts and hubs or 172 hubs and shafts with either the 172 gearbox or your cars gearbox and either the 1.2 or 172...

    Spark plugs

    It wll be the coil pack check you plugs you might be worth chnageing them if the coil pack has gone as they'll be dirty. I woulnd't worry about the oil to it it takes 7 hours the cambelt is chnaged etc its a big job quite common though. Coil packs easy to chnage.
