    What tension for aux belt?

    i'm doing my aux belt tomorrow, what sort of tension should i have on the belt, ie one inch of flex along the longest part? i've just removed pas and have got a shorter belt, but not 100% on what size belt i need yet

    should i ask renault to replace my dephaser and belt kit or a specialist

    i imagine most would say specialist. hopefully someone will be along to recommend a specialist in cornwall. or you could ask in the 'clio discussion' forum?

    Lost all drive to front wheels - Circlip Issue I hope

    this happened to me, unfortunately not good news, i needed a new box as the driveshaft had come out at the gearbox end and put a hole in it. apparently. i got a rebuilt box that had a modified circlip (stronger) to prevent the well-known circlip issue from repeating itself

    Driveshaft popped out today

    Not too sinister, I had the hub assembly separated from the wishbone and it popped out. Gearbox side. No leakage or anything. I managed to push it back in. is it normal for the end of the driveshaft to come out of the gearbox with the three bolts still done up? Like its loose within the boot...
