And so it begins. Do you have those manuals you said you had?

Appreciate the advice! Would rather be safe then sorry

@YorkshireKyle sounds ideal I was thinking new belt, while I'm there pull the tensioner apart to see if it's seized then maybe a new idler. Does that sound stupid? I'm a bit loathed to spend £180 on the genuine kit (and more of going 5pk) but I'm also not a big fan of engine blowy-uppy.

Well isn't that just fantastic 🙃 Aux belt is coming away all along the inside edge. Any decent kits out there or is genuine the only real option?

Based on the direction of the teeth, the ratchet mechanism looks like its a full extension? And the locking tabs should be where the red line is? As @Brigsy says it's self adjusting, so if you can get the cable on it should adjust itself to match (assuming the clutch has been installed correctly)

I believe it's two outside screws under the angle sensor

And while the engine is out chuck in a new clutch 👀

Let us know how you get on, I have been tempted to do it - be good to have an honest take on a driveway belt change.

You would have learned so much in five years it will be so much easier by then (although most owners leave it 8+ years for timing belt... Aux belt/tensioner needs doing every 3/4). And not that you are thinking of selling (nobody ever is, until they do) but knowing the belts have been done at a...

Yeah there are no RS Haynes unfortunately, but the Renault workshop manuals are good if you have them. And you never know what you may find, it may open a can of worms. If you think it's a one day job it's probably two. Find a cracked bracket and suddenly it's seven. And I don't say that to...

Could be a laugh! If you have the time I don't see why not you sound like you have your head screwed on. The manuals are available on the forum if you need them or I can dm them to you. The stone automotive vid is good but the manual has all the torque specs etc readily available, and you don't...

Really should have put this all in one post... but this is a good vid of what you would be in for: . Bare in mind if you have PAS and aircon there is even more stuff in the way

*There is also about an inch of room to do it, your knuckles will be bleeding, and you will be swearing. Unless you pull the engine out the top, then it's 'easy'.

https://cliosport.net/threads/renaultsport-specialist-near-manchester.827684/ Not the hardest thing in the world but I wouldn't do it as my first, definitely need all the right tools and double-triple checking with the workshop manual as the timing is very sensitive. I paid a specialist to do...

Welcome to Clio ownership, I would suggest buying a multimeter ASAP - you will more than likely get your moneys worth...

Baterry must be fine, I have never seen one. My ph2 keys have always looked like this: I would suggest jumping the switch but you have to close the case to complete the battery circuit 🙈 I think it's quite common as far as broken fobs go This is a good shout, even if it's just some fresh...

It might be a non-OEM (or ph1 specific board then). Both batteries are 3v so if it worked before its probably right tbh. Be interested to find out what it is. if you have a multimeter you can at least check button continuity.

OEM keyfob uses a CR1220*. Might not be your issue, but my microswitch needed re-soldering as the joints had broken. *on a 172 ph2 at least, is a ph1 different?

Seven hours later, the kit was fitted. I'm not convinced this has been done on a standard car before, and I can imagine it being a doddle with the engine out. But I didn't have that luxury so lots of stubby spanners and swearing were used. Getting the pipes off the rack in situ only took an...

First CSF and had a great time, Cadwell was amazing to drive and it was great seeing some familiar faces. If I hadn't of spent seven hours replacing the high pressure PAS line on Friday I probably would have been more chatty... Roll on CSF27!

Even that's in question, but sound.

When is last arrival time tonight for camping?

Unfortunately James couldn't find the stock in time for today so I did some man maths. Pipe is broken, and all the other pipes seem to be on there way out - so is there much point to fixing it just to break again? One 5 hour round trip later I have an Advocult line. And I have an entire night...

With a crows foot, a screwdriver and a hammer I got the pipe undone and replaced the o-ring, and..... It still leaks. More like an uh-oh-ring amiright. On closer inspection it looks and feels like the union has ovaled and won't seat correctly. JMRS is in the town over so I shot James a...

Managed to get a crows foot on it and turn 1-2mm before the tool started to slip Cleaned it all down and started it up, turn the wheel a few times and... s**t. Sub-optimal. Think I will drain the PAS reservoir, undo this fitting and try to clean it plus replace the o-ring. It's not like...

New discs fitted, love the PMS spacers such a nice bit of kit. Will see if I can get a spanner on the high pressure line tomorrow and nip it up.

@Brigsy I couldn't tell you, this is my first 1*2 and never had the pump off 🙈
