Sorry, but it looks terrible to me.

Like this, not sure how much they are new http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-clio-coolant-tank-cap-/130590187255?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e67c81ef7

Very tidy, original coolant lid would look more OEM though?

I've bought the tool just because its slimmer and might be useful for the e-torx bolts too, but if it doesn't work for the tensioning ill use a jubilee. This is probably a dumb question, but doesn't the tensioner hole have to be used? i.e. does it not come pre tensioned and the tool have to be...

Just found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Serpentine-Timing-Belt-Tension-Setting-Garage-Tool-Kit-4pc-3-8-Drive-Sockets-/140814150043?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item20c92d699b Not sure weather the 3/4 drive bit will be long enough but hopefully the tool itself is slim enough to add a sump plug...

Reviving an old thread, I found this link below which lists the MOT.1386 tool for tensioning the belt, but I've read that its 3/8 not the 1/2" this tool below is... http://www.getflat.co.uk/pics/3286A-6.pdf If I bought it and filed it down to 3/8 what are the chances of it working...

I can do, can you help me with a bit more info? So the tensioner seems to bolt on using a hex bolt? Then once the new pumps on and the belt is routed correctly, I either: Tension the spring with a jubilee enough to get both e-torx bolts in place ? Then once the jubilee is released the tension...

Water pump is ordered got the more expensive one, would really appreciate some help about the tensioning tool ?

3/8" is correct after more searching, can someone give me a link to a tool that will fit or will I need to make my own? I was thinking a tyre lever, with a 3/8 cut out and just slot a 3/8 bit through it.

After reading through a few threads about people using jubilee clips and making there own tensioner release tool, I found a link to the tool: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181145305203?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 The link says 1/2"? but in the threads it says 3/8", which...

Theydon bois, essex mate.

Which of these? http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2005/p/car-parts/car-cooling-parts-and-car-heating/cooling/water-pump-gasket/?201745225&1&60453fe3d92d09fce330d3fd593db8d3e8a96f5e&000366...

Have a price for aux kit, coolant, and thermostat gasket (coolant change at the same time) no water pumps available at the mo so will get the £35 one from Euro car parts (or anywhere else better?) Read through this guide...

Thanks martin, just had a listen again, I cant be sure at the moment, from the video im wondering if its the engine itself, I've just had a quote from a garage, 4.5hr labour, coolant, pump and aux kit, circa £400. So I think Ill be ordering a pump, type-d and the aux kit and do it myself.

Thanks Budgie, what is the best way to shift the engine over? If i remove the engine mount and support the sump, what else do I need to remove to shift the engine over? Does that plastic lower cam cover need to be removed? looks like there is a bolt over the pump. And lastly is the jubile clip...

Fair enough Martin but looking at a guide where someone changed the cambelt and aux, the changing of whole kit looked quite a lot of work, where as I know the idlers where changed not too long ago an I want the worry gone for now. I might get the whole kit anyway, I just need to know what's...

Anyone ? Can I gain enough access to do the belt and pump just by jacking the sumo up and removing the engine mounts to slide it over a bit ? I'm not going to change the whole aux kit the kit was fitted a year and a bit ago, need the worry out the way.

I've had another listen tonight, its quite noticeable above engine tick over, I've had a look with a torch and I cant seem to find anything else other than thinking its the water pump. I think I might have to get a garage to do the job for me ignoring the whole doing the job whilst the gearbox...

Yeah, sorry forgot to say, if it all goes to plan yep, and thats decent if its around that, have been meaning to give him a call, the courier idea is starting to sound tempting. Ok I'll have a think about it, may replace the whole kit. Should I avoid the waterpumps on Euro car parts and stick...

I didn't realise how expensive cranes are. My girlfriend was going to drive me down there with the box in the boot, 2.5 hours there, I don't know how it works but I was hoping if I phoned in advanced I could leave it there for a few hours and collect it after it had been done, then was going to...

Nope I'd need to buy one, I need 380 set aside for the refurb, 90 for the clutch, and the parts for the waterpump first.

Well thats half good news cheers budgie, the gearbox still needs a refurb. Dont want to but how hard would it be to do myself if I took the engine out to change the water pump and belt, then seperating the box for refurb would be easier.

I will keep it updated yeah. How much have you been quoted for the water pump change? Or anyone know how much with a new aux belt? idlers and tensioner has been changed.

I haven't inspected it yet mate, It doesn't make the noise from cold when left to tick over for a bit (so far) only after a long drive, im going to take the under tray off and have a look, im hoping its a heat shield or something easy to fix, will update the thread when I find out.

Do it once. do it properly.

I will take it to a speciallist if I have to but Ill have to try and diagnose it myself to keep costs down, I suppose if it was the waterpump I could take the engine out, replace that and the aux belt and do the gearbox at the same time.

Ill give it a look over myself, just wondered if anyone has experienced the same type of noise, but I do agree its very hard to tell with just a video, I think it could be an aux idler but they where all changed when the belts where done.

Its more noticeable through the drivers front wheel, so I was thinking water pump as that's closest to that area? I know the 1.2's suffer from water pump failures, but do the sports? I've read a few times failures aren't as common but I might be wrong. I need to get the car in the air and...

I've noticed on idle a rattle, metallic sounding and happens every few beats of the engine idling, belts where replaced about a year and a half ago, have covered roughly 15k since then, dephaser was changed at the same time. Does this sound like the water pump? Gearbox is already on the way...

Vague post is vague. How loud? But not in my experience, its noticable with no music on but not loud, just like a "verr-verr"
