So it better getting the Valeo fast road clutch will last just as long but will be heavier?

After my 182 engine decided to spit out its bottom end I thought as the engine out I would fit a new clutch. Correct me if I am wrong but the OE clutch is about £130. all i wanted to know would it be best to use a Renault genuine clutch or go for an uprated one. I seen this one on Prima Racing...

Yeah think going down that route would be best. As engine out going to get all belts done and new clutch. Going to cost more but would be better in the long run.

So would be a good idea to get it done ?

Rentech got an engine on 40k would it be ok to stick a new cam and aux belt and leave the dephaser or get it all done ? What else should I do as the engine is off

Would a bottom end rebuild be less expensive than a whole new engine?

Yh have already messaged him and got a quote.

Anyone know where you can borrow/rent the locking tools for cam belt change?

Might get an engine dropped in and then use the old one as a project engine I.e forged internals and stuff

Ok mate I will look into it. I got it in the garage tomorrow so they will let me know.

Private otherwise I would be taking it back

Yh had it a month lol Decided be easier to just swap the engine over.

Come to the conclusion it is the small end bearing as the knocking is mainly at top end and is more noticeable when you blip the throttle. May consider getting it rebuild but can get an engine for £500 and fitted for about £400, plus will be cheap to get cam belt/aux and clutch changed whilst...

Oh and just to add the engine runs fine. Not sputtering or juddering just got a bit of a knock.

Cut out the old rubber then trim a couple mm off the end on the Powerflex rubbers, side them in and add cable lies for good measure :) job done

So more than likely a new engine job ?

Yh Plenty...

Engine only got 55k on the clock. Get it towed to garage Monday and wait a quote unless anyone on here could tow it and fix it

As a ball park figure how much to repair it ?

Taking it to my local garage as I don't want to drive it far

It was fine then just as I slowed down to come off the carriage way it happened.

Going to get it in the garage Monday. Knocking sounds like to coming from the top end. Can it be repaired or would I need a new engine ?

Driving around then suddenly stop light and battery light illuminated then went out and as i slowed down engine started making a really horrible noise. Managed to get it home and on idle makes a really loud knocking noise. Turned it off for a while then turned it back on and it struggled to turn...

PAHAHA!!!!

Remove windows 8 and install 7! Job done. But like people said it more than likely full of bloat ware, go through uninstalling stuff you never use.

Just a random meet I suppose lol

To be honest if I ever have any doubt about the reliability of a HDD I will stop using it. Don't want to think you fixed it then one day lose all your data. HDD are dirt cheap these days so just back up all your personal data and use it as a reason to do a fresh install of windows. I don't...

Going! Anyone else on here up for it?

£5000 to make a replica :( what has the world come too ....

Also if you used grease to get it on the stub axle but then locked it in place with the hub nut it wouldn't be an issue?
