you've got loads of bolts missing from the stat housing, will be coming from behind that, think one of the bolts missing will give you an oil leak for a kick off.
look busy;)
do a bit of blasting and polishing, some carb rebuilds and look after a few cars and bikes for people i know. try not to be too busy though so i can play with my own stuff but got far to many projects on the go at the moment!!
been tidying the living room, yeah i know how to live it up!!
that was the thread i was thinking of, will look at getting something made up over the next couple of weeks. got an idea for something to fit into both cam openings with a hole in the centre for a lever to fit in and key into the end...
wouldn't let it bother me, especially a D. the whole system is a joke anyway, i've seen cat A cars back on the road, written off due to flood damage. i sold an A4 last year, declared it as a cat C, it had all the paperwork relating to the claim with it but on a check it came up as clear!!

time for a diy advanced timing...
decided to tart up under the bonnet while i was doing cam belt on my car, looked at the belt that was already fitted and looked reasonably new but thought might as well change it anyway as the cam cover was coming off to get coated and i wanted to check what cams are in as it's a bit too grunty...
possibly bit of a dumb one, what are part numbers for standard renault cams and how are they marked? doing a belt and a few bits on mine today and i could of sworn the renault numbers are cast into the cam? numbers on mine are dot punched on, i could be totally wrong about them being cast in but...
