Ahh - there's your issue then! Nothing you can do other than do it right this time and move on. By do it right, i mean with the correct Renault tools, in the correct way. If you don't at best it'll be down on power, at worst those valves will be saying 'hi' to the pistons again!

The fact that the valves have hit the pistons and bent. It sounds a lot like the work they did a month ago has caused or at leaset been a factor in the engine destroying itself - therefore they should have been the first peope spoken to. Who did the belt change?

If you have a receipt for the work i'd have taken it back the the garage that did it originally. Problem is, now you've taken the engine out you don't have a leg to stand on.

That's only £200 short of full timing belt and aux belt job. Your friend was ripped off!

Who quoted you £400, or was that a guess?

So - the belt was changed on your original engine, then a month later the vavles went for a date with the pistons? I'm guessing poor workmanship on the original belt change. Who changed it originally? Was it whilst you owned the car?

See ^ It's started! :smile:

You are going to get 2 types of reply in this thread. They will consist off: 45% - Get an iPhone, they are best. Android is crap 55% - Get a Samsung, they are best. iOS is crap. You'll struggle to get an unbiased view IMO.

Originally they would be unfinished, so would have be silver. Few brake calipers are painted from the factory.

If anyone wants 20% Vodafone discount let me know. You need to be a new customer or just upgraded, and not already be on a reduced rate contract. I get NHS discount that I can share with up to 5 other people. Have 4 spaced unused.

It's anthracite! lol So many random spellings of that word on this site!

On the rear ANY 172 or 182 shock absorber will fit. If you want to fit rear cup shocks, then buy rear cup shocks and they will bolt straight on.

Isn't this something that most bodyshops could do? Especially if they specialise in restoration work. I'd try some local bodyshops, see what they say.

Sportline springs on OE shocks is a bad idea. Had it been just the Pro kit you'd probably have been ok. -45mm on OE shocks was never going to end well. Either upgrade the shocks, or change the springs. However if you change the shocks I think you'll still experience some harsh ride as the...

I'm with Daniel on this, as long as you use common sense you'll be fine. No need to cover things up. Spray some citrus degreaser or similar on the areas you wish to clean. I would leave for a couple of minutes then aggitate with a brush of some sort. Then either rinse with a pressure washer if...

Wow - you can buy rear Brembo discs for that - the pair!

£90 for just the bearing change? On one side only?

2 ways, firstly you should hear the compressor kicking in. Engine running, open the bonnet and click the AC on, you should hear a click and the revs should increase to compensate. You should also be able to see the compressor spinning. They have a clutch system, so the outer part of the pulley...

That's how it works with one card, I assume if you have a second it'll ask you to select the card for payment?

The fitting is 90% of the job on this, get any of it wrong and it will wear out quickly. Even OEM bearings will die quickly if not done up to the correct torque. When it comes to car parts, the majority of the population will buy on price alone. Unfortunately a lot of the time you do get what...

WTF? Is that just stuck to the head lining?

That was quick - which did you get in the end?

Even a NAS would be overkill for what I need, however storage at home isn't safe enough imo. The data I want to back up could still easily be lost through fire, theft etc. I need safe and secure, with as little chance as possible of losing anything.

Ahh, makes sense now. I was thinking you wanted it for security. Anyway, it's perfectly do-able. You just need to be sure what's in the box before picking up any other items. Is 18m going ot be enough cable? Is the plan to run it externally?

Sorry - I forgot i'd made this thread. The Office 365 looks like it could be a winner. 1TB for £7.99/m inc Office seems a good deal. 1TB would be plenty of storage anyway, I can't see me needing more anytime soon and 1TB is going to take long enough to upload!

Probably best just to go and look what's in the box. Personally I think it'll have an 18m siamese cable but no power supply. It'll see in the dark, that's what the IR LED's are for. It'll be black & white, and fairly short range (8m it says, so probably not as far as that in real life). It's...

As far as I can see it comes with this type of cable (but 18m not 30m) http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/smart-tech/smart-tech/smart-home/smart-home-cameras-and-cctv/sea-c101-bnc-power-cable-for-samsung-cameras-10071943-pdt.html Which is a siamese type cable, so has a BNC and power cable...

You shouldn't need the first one, it comes with an 18m bnc cable. It's just the power supply I'm not sure on. I can't seem to find a definitive answer what it is actually supplied with. Does your local Currys have it in stock?

You'll need a BNC cable converter (BNC to RCA?), and some form of power supply I would think. it's intended for use with a DVR really.

Link to the camera? I have a cheap one from eBuyer - currently being used as a baby monitor. It's wifi, and have an app on my iPhone, iPad and on the PC so I can view and remotely control/move it. It was £35.
