172 cup aux belt (non aircon) is easy, takes about 15min and no special tools, no idlers or tensioners to replace, the alternator is the tensioner
if the belt snaps, then 95% chance its bye bye engine (it wraps around the lower crank pulley, jamming the engine)
on a car with aircon yes, everytime, i see loads of them with knackered lower idler pullies (sideways danny will disagree) on a car without aircon, just the belt is all thats needed
loads, Hill power is the closest to you, about 10min from you IIRC
Birchdown (chesire somewhere?)
TCR (wolverhampton i think)
Yozza (eccelshall)
me (soon, Solihull)
its only a 12K service? so oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, vehicle inspection, etc
should be way under £200
not plugged in = no vvt
you say when its plugged in it sounds like there metal on metal contact?
who did your belt? Renault? a specialist? or some random?
