you'll see what i mean when you come to fit it ;) by false economy i mean - great its cost you £40 but its a 2.2 hour job for a pro to fit (probably 3-4hours for an amateur) hence if it lasts 6months you'll be a bit pissed off having to take the car apart AGAIN!

sounds ok, bit whiney but nothing too unusual

that's a late 172/182 unit, winner! (but 2nd hand alternators are a false economy!) ;)

yup, the ribbed bit what part number do you have on there A13VI300??

197/200 cup racer?

same alternator, different part number (weird i know) only difference is the 182 has the better metal pulley, the 172 plastic ones do break (especially if the mechanic is a mong) they're about £200 new, i would recommend going for a new one with a warranty as its a relativley big job to do

nope, 182 cup are model specific hub nut off, ball joint off (unbolt it, easier) hammer, done

what ecu are you having?

Erm copyright? you on drugs? Renault don't make the bearing, they just buy it in from FAG, SKF (who probably buy it in from someone else) stick it in a renault box and sell it to you if you take the bearing part number (not the renault part number) it crosses over to the more expensive one...

Re: Cambelt issue.. new thread how many threads!

Genuine only

you can add a cooler if you want, will be a bit of a b**ch to plumb in though!
