    Servicing at 'non' renault garages

    Because you ned to check more parts than just that. Many Renault none trade dealerships don't check them and since if something failed which you could easily argue as part of the service should be checked ie ball joints then Renault would refuse to pay for any damage since if a correct service...

    Turbo - my initial opinion

    Ktec used a Mexican turbo kit but changed loads of the bits I don't think anyones in a position to say them of BB have no engineering credentions. A for the way to big power its expensive and its the other bit ie clutch and gearbox which fail.

    FAO harness owners using rear seatbelt positions for attachment points

    They will. You'd be suprised how storng they are. The issue is the fact the rear seatbelt mount is to low and will causer serious back injourioes and is infact illegal if your car were to be SVA approved. (if it were to be newly checked out)
