...rang around today - think i will pay for it to be done, can get it done for £120 + VAT at an engine recon place, v.good reputation aswell so i know they wont piss about with it!
dont mind payin people if its for something thats woirth it!
nope, was def. a belt!
ive looked up the haynes manual on how to change it, acceess actually seems to be easier than for the micra, with only the drivebelt to take off as the only component to remove. The only thing that looks a bit tricky to me is the part where you have to tension the belt...
yeah its that time for me - done 62K and dont *really* trust renaults flattering claim of 72K for one cambelt! So gonna get it dont, but dunno whether to do it myself.
I have changed a belt on an old 1 ltr micra, but obviously were lookin at a completely different engine here, and something...

sh*t bad luck mate, i know how u feel (sort of) - i woz in the car when my mate got done by one of those bastads!

Just got a shiny Kenwood CD HU (KDC 6021), and although it has a great on-board amp (much better than the kenwood units i heard of 2years ago!), it doesnt have any filtering options on it (stupid, didnt think of it when i bought it!). Not a problem now, but am planning to add a sub in a month or...
not unless your head unit has an aux in connection (like a CD in, on a minijack). Even then youll need to get a CDunit that supports MP3s,or a solid state unit (even more expensive?!).
sounds like you need an MP3 HU matey!

Anyway, i know about the different sizes (14", 16",etc.) but am stumped when people talk about tyre sizes and wheel offset - 195/205 - whats that?!! :oops:
Also, if you get alloys that are bigger than your standards...
