Waste of time/money. Well serviced cars don't need them, just gimmicks that a lot of people fall for.

You can use sealant though, they're okay as long as you clean the mating faces well enough.

Tidy as always

Racing Blue - Rugby just before 8pm tonight going up the Leicester road (A426) surely someone off here?

Ask him if it said Scenic RX4 on the back? Then slap him. 316 by any chance? ;)

Is that genuine? Thats quite bad for the price people pay. Could understand if it was just the paint run over where they sit in the carriers needed removing.

Socket set, axle stands and a jack minimum really. Stuff your likely to forget you need are 30mm socket, 8mm square drain plug. Not forgetting fresh gearbox oil, drain plug washer aswell for about a quid. Book times about 5 and a half hours but it shouldn't take that long.

Your cars Infe.... ah right, I see. edit- pmsl Len

I think because its in a public place you don't have a say, could be wrong though! Wait for some of the law geeks to show up.

New DCI's 68 and 86 are complete crap compared to the Mk2s 65 and 80. Firstly they're now using the toffee gearbox (same as your Megane) secondly the cars massive and weights a tonne, and thirdly the one you test drove probably hasn't been run in yet. I've driven an 86 on the Motorway (in...

Should goto the right a bit, have it starting where the T in Renault is, more between the foglight and the headlight.

Car looks as clean as ever Rich. Did you stop every 20 miles to wipe the bugs off?

Megane 1.6s are slow compared to standard DCI 80s, even before a remap. Probably better from a standing start but in every day driving the 1.6s is too small an engine for the Megane. More rev happy and whatever you call it, but its just got no go when your coming out of corners or off...

Ctrl C, Ctrl V?

Those super 4 tipped plugs are a con

Even for an 02 I'd say thats a fair price considering your getting 12 months MOT, and a full service, ontop of the fact that its only done 12k miles. I'd be asking if they've done the cambelt though but its not a biggy on them.

Depends if the fitters heavy handed or has hay bale hands. To be honest if the paint flakes/comes off when the tyres are being fitted I'd say the wheels hadn't been refurbed properly. I wouldn't worry though theres no reason to damage the alloys when fitting tyres.

Theres a few ways, the 'proper' way is to check and adjust the tension, if it was wrong, and it still squeeks, replace the belt. If it was my own car I'd just either chalk the belt or a little bit of WD40.

Another brilliant french idea, of course they're easy to get on while the engines on a work bench. Way I do them is put the plastic cover on, start the 2 bottom bolts by hand, lower the top metal cover, whilst holding the plastic one out with screwdriver, get the top one on then let the bottom...

Had fun getting the plastic cover and the metal mount onto the block? :o

1.2 8V Sport Campus

Yeah its in a slightly different place on a 1.2 though, at the back and to the left, behind the oil filler cap mate.

Okay if you imagine your spark plugs? Follow the route the leads take, going away from the spark plug, where all 4 leads join into a small black box with some wiring going into it. On the 1.2s its on the left hand side as you look at the engine, 4 armour leads go into it and its hold on by 3...

Piece of piss mate that engine is, when your putting it back together, put the tensioner on first, obviously don't tension it yet. Start the nut and do it so its just about to touch the tensioner, then get your belt all routed round and that. Do the idler after you've got your belt on, its got a...

Nice one Bmh, you can move that loom out the way if you need to (one between the cambelt and the chassis, theres a 10mm bolt holding it on the front, in pic 4 ish. Where did you buy your timing tools from? Cheap?

As Benr said I'd be looking towards your temp sensor, this can cause the car to cut out, and it doesn't always put a fault on the dealers CLIP tool, that explains why they've thrown a cambelt & TDC sensor on your car with no luck.

Check the bottom of your coil pack isn't cracked, it can cause a slight misfire after a while, and doesn't usually put a warning light on the dash. Check your bottom dogbone mount isn't gubbed aswell

On axle stands its a bit of a 2 man job. Ie one to lift the wheel for you, the other underneath to line up the shock and start the bolt. If you start it on the piss (due to the weight of the axle on the semi started bolt) it'll rip the threads, I'm guessing thats what happened.

Know how you feel sometimes, just dump it. Reversing is easier though, the front wheels turn.
