Well, I see where the fork rests on the White nubbin inside the clutch housing. I suppose there is potential for friction or gaunching there if not lubed correctly. The manual refers to molykote stuff for that, I can't find it anywhere, any alter atives? Jj

That's what I was thinking. Either way, I'm happy :) Jj

Can I just clarify, does rotating the engine a few times pull the belt to the correct tension for setting? Jj

So car went into dealers again after i voiced my complaints.... 4 hours later I was asked back to get the car and advised that there was nothing wrong with it that they could see, they even put it on the computer etc (yay. free diagnositc of sorts) No charge of course Drove it home...

Silkolene Pro S 5-40.............be prepared to bend over though You might want to use some of the Silkolene when you do :rasp:

Well, I agree with Stu, there was a bit of tomfoolery to get the airbox back in after taking it out. Was yours a 172 or 82? Not that there is much difference im sure Jj

I will be oiking my "Acoustic Valve" out myself, i prefer a bit of snort with my pedal :D

Hole on the bottom has a pipe that goes under the box and ends just left of the passenger headlight, you can see the hole there. The hold on the right of the box goes way down behind the bumper on the passenger side to the choker, sorry, to the "acoustic valve" hope that helps Jj

And thank you guys for your NORMAL informative responses Cheers Jj

WTF man? Whats your problem? I didnt ask at all about changing flipping pulleys or other maintenance steps did I? Is that the hard part of the engine timing procedure, Really? Yes I do know what I am doing, very much...........BUT STILL, I dont have the balls to touch this. The...

Aye, but if you follow the guide at setting the cams just before tdc and rotating the engine, you should be alright. That should be the first port of call if you suspect the timing is out, to recheck the crank pin location. Im more interested in the timing steps.....replacing and cleaning...

So, i have my oen thread open where i have raised concerns over a Renault MAIN dealership having set my timing incorrectly. if you havent done one of these before, i wouldnt start now. Thats a great guide posted by the way, how on earth did i miss that one....doh! Anyway, i just wanted to...

tbh, using that analogy Fred, both are shat. Now, if you compared Dominos to Pizza Express i would understand ;) Jj

Balls.... Took it for a "spirited drive" this evening and i just dont know. It sounds like a bag of piss when revving and really doesnt seem that keen to get to the limiter.... From what I can remember, these engines go ballistic and headbutt it is quick as you can say "fuuu....!" Could...

Lambda? Seems to be cropping up a lot lately :S

Fatal mistake i made was to go at the beers a bit soon.... Ended up with a half finished car and a hangover :D

Couple of Corona's maybe? :rasp:

Its getting colder these days Just cold start Jj

Coolio, Ordered, will try and give the surfaces a wee clean tonight ready for the sealant.

I see mention of Loctite 518, that the stuff?

So, whats the best stuff to seal the box with? I gather its just a bead around the outside of the box and there is no funky sealing inside? Jj

Ahhh... Detent To resist movement (or when creating incremental steps), methods are employed which include a spring-loaded ball bearing that locates in small incremental depressions, or a piece of spring steel that snaps into position on flat surfaces or shallow notches milled into the shaft...

Please tell me "detents" is just a typo and not something i have never heard of and dont understand/am not liklely to get right.....

Got a replacement for mine, its a speedo drive model but thats no problem I just want to give it an overhaul myself I did this on my civic, replaced all of the bearings and left all of the gears/shafts etc intact. I didnt want to start splitting all that stuff. Started into it yesterday...

Hey, Has anyone here split the gearbox apart themselves at all? Any guides or pointers? Jj

Could you actually feel those dips when you were driving James? Did you have any other symptoms? See my car idles and goes well once im on it......I can just feel hesitations in the lower regions when i expected (and think i remember) big lumps of torque Jj

Has anyone any thoughts about my bumpy toreque curve?

Yeah, that must be it :dapprove: Nonsense. By proper diagnostics I think Danny means the actual Renault clip system, not an aftermarket one. i.e. >>>>>>Go to Reno J

WTF? WHY would you do that? If its buzzing hit it a smack, itll be fine. Jj

I would firstly try and naffle a condensor from one of the multitude of cars being broken here And cleaning the crank sensor is a piece of pee.......pretty much between the airbox and the engine.....its down at the gearbox and is on a wee bracket that looks like a frown. Think its 2 10mm...
