Good question, i don't know really. I can only assume it's under more load than the other... Doesn't look to be out that much, not enough to worry about anyway.

I can only assume the old bolt was one that someone found in their parts bin.

Can't trust most dealerships nowadays with these. Not like when these cars were new, you'd have someone in there that knew them. Now, not many people take them to dealers so it's not worth them keeping the specialists. The Renault specialists you see now were all probably once Renault Master...

For the ribbed idler pulley yeah.

I was starting to think i've gone mad here 😂

Crank bolt here Lee if you're struggling for the part number. https://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/renault/renault-clio-mk2/engine/renault-clio-mk2-renault-oe-crankshaft-pulley-bolt-rs-172-182.html

His first post had 2 picture atttachments, the cambelt kit and aux kit. Maybe you only saw the aux kit pic? But yeah he should be sorted now once he gets the cams seals kit i linked and a crank bolt.

Not sure what you mean, but he's ordered both kits but individually. The cambelt kit (which doesn't actually include everything) for £205 and then the aux kit for £77.

I'd just order them separately now to save the hassle.

This is the full kit https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/service-parts/renault-clio-172-182-cam-belt-change-kit/

The kit he's ordered for £205 doesn't include the cam seals, crank pulley bolt or the seal plug for the dephaser.

Yes i would order them because if your current seals leak after you've had the new belt done, it'll all have to come off again. https://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/renault/renault-clio-mk2/engine/renault-clio-mk2-renault-oe-cam-seals-kit-rs172-182.html 7701471629 is the part number.

Bit odd for Birchdown to suggest the owner to buy their own parts... However, at least it'll be done right. Those kits you've ordered doesn't include the seal behind the cams, a new crank pulley bolt or a new waterpump. How much are they charging for labour? I'm just thinking this could end...

Currently on AF Avalanche, it does have some cleaning power but nothing compared to the Bilt Hamber stuff.

Anywhere really mate, all around the same price. The aerosol is handy for electrical connection corrosion protection and the trigger spray one is better for big things when you want to coat a larger area like coilovers.

Give the studs a light going over with ACF50 mate, that's what i do with mine to stop them going crusty. The black self coloured steel goes bad very quickly. Mine have been in a year now and they still look near new.

I'm more worried about your mate on T1R's 😂

When i first saw the refurbed wheels i thought "oh he's going to leave the bolt tapers covered in paint" Then the next pic you had cleared them 😂 See it all the time with wheels coming loose.

Was joking because they're like £300+

Mitutoyo 😂

Autosmart Smart Wheels diluted 1:3 5L is £22 and that will mix up 20 x 1L spray bottles. Very cost effective.

You can use iron removers as much as you want.

It's not his real name to be fair ;) He should change it to that though.

Email Chris and see if he could do you a base map...

30mm The BiggRed kit is the one to get.

All the ones I've rebuilt have pulled 160kg each on the MOT rollers, which is about as good as you can get.

Caliper related I'd say too.

Just fresh seals inside and maybe pistons work wonders. You don't have to mess with the handbrake mechanism at the back. Easy enough to do.

Until it fades from UV again... Hard to say really.
