Alrite guys. I've been in touch with some of the ones mentioned and it isn't good :( Brentacre - nice people to deal with by the sounds of the chap i spoke to want £539, Swiftcover won't quote me for some reason Adrain Flux was £700+ :eek: Looks like £480/£499 is the best i'll do - waiting on...

Added to my list! Thanks.

Thanks mate.

Thanks, will take a look. You reckon! can't believe the increase tbh i heard insurance has risen but that takes the pish.

Alrite fellas. Not a happy chappy :mad: insurance is due in a few days and my renewal quote is £512 - up from £362 daylight robbery!! Does anyone know of a company i can try? tried a comparison site and Hastings comes up the cheapest at £480 which i think is not good either! Anyone fire a few...

Bump. Anybody?

Alrite fellas, Does anyone have these or know how to fit them to a 182? I've just bought some and in the instructions it has an eye symbol saying to look for a circle on the car but i can't see one :o also what's the blue plastic thingy for!? Can i just fit it anywhere? Cheers.

Car failed on the Hazard warning switch only working intermittently and brake fluid below the min level! although it looked full to me :S Anyway, tester said if i sort the mentioned issues he'd pass it, 1 hour later i was back having been to Renault to buy a new Switch and a bottle of brake...

Dephaser yes mate, bad case i must admit!!

Well lads with respect and i know quite a few of you boys know your stuff obviously, it didn't need a new engine which i thought would be the case to be honest, glad about that. I've had the Dephaser replaced, all new belts and a service for good measure running like a dream now. All done...

Saga that was! Thought i'd post an update not that anyone's interested! Picking my motor up today after having the work done, all fixed but a few ££ lighter but i'm chuft to bits no new engine malarky! :approve: Mechanic did say there is a nut missing from the Alternator - should be three...

Car is getting trailered to an RS specialist on hopefully Thurs/Fri. I've asked him to check it over PROPERLY! The one thing he did say was he wants the 'big ends' (pic above) put together by them as he won't be able to tell which goes with which - said he wouldn't touch it otherwise, is...

Seen sense now!! Come to my senses ladies although is it rag week for some on here ;) Spoke to a Renault specialist in person at length earlier today and wow never knew so much is involved! one false move and the engine could be in bits so he told me! something to do with the correct order to...

Well aware of the issues regards local garages, if it goes pearshaped i'll go to Birchdown, that's the plan. Not seen one for that price and i've looked in a few places. No need to get annoyed pal, only someone asking a question on a internet forum! chill baby.

Nah it's made a miraculous recovery ;) according to the experts it only needs a few things doing to it, just want to know if this will be one of them. Look normal or not fellas? need an answer just on this then i can crack on! p.s looked at a complete new engineS, cheapest i seen was £850.00...

Alrite guys. Trying to find out if it's normal or not, mechanic just laughed when he seen it! said it's almost a link slack. Any ideas? he wants me to buy a new oil pump and whatever that chain is called, trying to find out if i can avoid that but if that chain aint right i'll get it all...

Cheers guys. The Gates kit got mentioned but i said i want genuine parts for that never thought it was, all but in name! Local Renault dealer wanted £175.30 for the cambelt kit!

£363.74 all genuine parts except the Water pump, that a decent price lads?

Getting the local Garage to do mine after a long and hard think about it! they assure me they have the proper tools - they had to borrow them from another Garage!! I am getting my Timing belt changed along with the Dephaser Pulley and the Oil Pump and also the Chain because it's way too slack...

Dealer it is then Fred, do you have a part number mate? Cheers.

Bump! Anyone? need this asap as the Garage has had my car for a week now and i said i'd get the dephaser to him this week. Can anyone do one or know where to buy one for less than £170 otherwise i'll have to go to my local Renault dealer. Ta.

Hi fellas, can anyone give us a price for one too as just found out mines gone aswell, cheers.

Going to thank him and ask him what he wants for the mither! and then go and see the lads at Birchdown to see what they recommend. Thanks fellas for now :approve:

You reckon it's a new 'un? he's a genuine bloke but he's the first to admit that he's not familiar with this engine, could he be mistaken?? I hope it aint a new engine because i really didn't think it was that bad.

Cheers guys, yep sensible advice that really. I did actually contact Andy at Birchdown whilst the Garage had it. I will look into taking it there. It's just a pain as the Garage that has it now has had it since Tue and has took it to bits trying to sort it for us, even though they haven't...

I think that may be the case if truth be told now. He is pretty sure it's an oil problem that's causing the issues that i think is a given. He showed me the following that he isn't sure on - he's getting a engineering specialist on Mon to take a look, he did mention i may be best off getting...

So Fred, you reckon he's telling porkies? i've no reason to doubt him.

Cheers for the guidance fellas, much appreciated :approve: I think i'll tell him to shove it.... in a nice way;) only messing. I may get him to sort out the oil pump, surely he'd be ok to do that wouldnt he lads?

Yellow Dave, i know you are talking sense mate i agree with all that. I'll have a chat with him tomorrow and see what it's going to cost - i may just get him to do the Oil Pump then trailer it to a specialist another day to do the more 'tricky' work...feel a bit guilty otherwise! On the 'does...

Oh dear! I'll see what he says tomorrow, think i'll give him the benefit of the doubt as i really don't want to be faffing about with it seeing as he's took it to bits!
