Couple of hundred sheets to have it done, a decent rebuild is better than a 2nd hand box as thats still and unknown and you won't know if its any good until you have fitted it and tried it really.
If that threads telling you to check the ecu loom for it being cut through by the anti-tamper cover then its on the back of the engine bolted to the back of the big black plastic piece (which is the inlet manifold btw).
I'm not really sure which ones you mean? I've never had a problem with it tbh, the only slight pain is the side one which wants the engine raising slightly but thats no biggie either tbf.
Taking its the pulley end then? No choice if you want it sorting, won't be cheap to have it done I wouldn't have thought around 500 sheets at a guess including new belts. Idlers and tensioners should be ok if they've been done recently which might reduce it some wouldn't know until the belts off...

Need two of each as they're directional and go 1.892 2.893 3.892 4.893 in the block, they're press fit and the renault procedure for removal/refitting requires several special tools unsurprisingly.
I was more on about the gearchanges ;), in my experience the box will not last long with hard fast changes with a standard engine let alone a boosted one with a lot more torque than the box was ever designed for. It may well last just fine but i'd be absolutely amazed.

Very much doubt the slam panel is going to cause a restriction you'd notice. I'd never cut the slam panel unless I absolutely had to as I think it looks terrible.
Yeh they're not the best, seem to remember renault will want about £15 a piece off you! Ebay is the cheapest place to get hold of a set i'd imagine, thats where I get most of mine from now.
They will move around like that on full lock, this is what causes the knocking. I'd say they're normal enough as long as the top mount is seated right and the cars not behaving as it shouldn't I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Oh and if you haven't done it before smallish flexible hose and funnel required as the fill plug is in a great spot. I've got a pump to do it with which is far more easy/lazy if you can get anything like that.
You will need 4 bottles, you can generally get a little more than 3.1l in it if doing it on axle stands as the fill plug is on the front of the box it won't be level with the front picked up.
Postage doesn't cost anymore for 4 bottles rather than 3 I don't think? And halfrauds want far more for...
