    Stud on exhaust cam?!

    just noticed the cam in that picture looks like it's for a 197 (cam sensor trigger)

    Stud on exhaust cam?!

    new stud is about £8 from renault IIRC. you can remove the old one with some heat to soften the threadlock. Its the nut that's recommended to be replaced when the pulley is removed.

    crappy performance: what might be wrong?

    it will make a difference, but remember the crank turns twice to every rotation of the cams, so try turning the crank once and the cams should be close to the correct position

    Whos done an engine conversion in essex? Help needed

    converting from diesel to petrol. PITA. Majorly not worth the hastle, especially for a 1.4 16v. the DCI engine is great to start with, and with a 100 setup, quite fast, and £35 a year tax

    Clio 182 belt change

    that's toooooooo cheap, and your cambelt is over a year overdue. Make 100% sure they're using a full cambelt KIT, and not just a belt, and that they have the genuine renault locking tools (not copys)
