yeah its a bit of a gray area tbh, i replace the aux belt at 36k and inspect/replace tensioner/idler if needed, at 72k its full replacement take it or leave it

you positive on that on as there's some conflict over which is correct ;)

and you won't have to touch either the cambelt or the aux for another 5yrs or 72k

did they do the roof rail delete with metal/lead? or wodge it full of filler? looks a proper job, so hopefully the first option! Michael from Denmark (focus ST orange mk1) has had that done, looks awesome

can you be bothered to pull it apart again in 12months time if it starts making a noise though?

check the bottom idler for play/noise/smooth rotation, anything odd and change the lot, i always change the lot when they come in for cambelts, no arguments

maybe worth a go, i've never tried them, my local supplier can get them, but they struggled

i would always suggest getting it checked at least, even though omex say its bollock on, it may not be 100% for your specific engine

about 20 of them! you can source that parts outside of renault (identical parts) if you know where to look

it would be safe enough to drive, just don't go twatting it off the limiter!

only available as the complete unit, and from renault the tensioner is £140+vat alone (kit with idler, tensioner and belt is £116+vat, go figure!) you won't get one from renault for £75(approx), for that you'll have to go see a motor factor

generally speaking 4th gear on "most" cars is as close to 1:1 ratio. If you run in 3rd gear you are giving a false reading basically if you want to impress people you "cheat" and run the cars in 3rd = naughty not true in all cases, and some rolling roads do things differently, but it does go...

£75, RS clio only, did you snap it?

pardon?

yozza do an uprated one, the helix supplied one is a standard renault one

depends how much of a hooligan you are, christian motorist track day go'er - forget it if in doubt, flat out - get some

ooft, they're not the most comfortable them, i lasted 60min and had dead legs

it made 225bhp when gdi built it, then had another rebuild with a few different bits and did a chunk more, new block, higher comp and some other bits

should go straight on, the clio 16v/williams ones are a bit too short anyway (full lock) if not i can get you some made up

remind me which 2?

change company

looks like a 172 spoiler, but that maybe just the (bad) pics

basically nothing

they're indeed very good, shame about the cracked weld on the tail pipe on Bazzon's ;) but no one's perfect!

its approx a 75% front 25% rear split on an ABS clio, cup (non ABS) are more like 95% front 5% rear rears are normally good for 36K

check balljoint, shock, spring, wheel bearing and driveshaft

wasn't aiming specifically at you, so apologies, a new engine is over £3k and by not checking your oil regularly you're mad

oh jesus H himself :nono: ONCE A WEEK CHECK THE DIPSTICK!

end of the cylinder head to the left of the airbox as you look at it, 3 x 10mm bolts hold it in

he's in essex mate, that's a bit far for him to come!
