Thats what I was thinking. Would you say it will be between £200 - £300 from a Renault dealer??
Thats a good price Alex, shame you are just a tad too far from me.
My cambelt is being replaced tomorrow at 34,000 miles by a renault specialist under my blackhorse used car warranty.
Have been told quite a few 172s are begining to suffer from cam related problems at average mileage
My cambelt bearing whines like a biatch... Very audiable when driving along.
Well, mines is going to a tuners to get the service so I should get a decent job.
OK doke, mines will be 5 years old this September and am sitting on 35k, worth doing it at 36k service?
Fook, so I might as well buy the cambelt kit at trade price before it goes in the garage then?

kit retails at 113 quid genuine... not bad cos u get tensioner and 2 idlers..
these 172s are a bit fiddly hence ren give us 5.2 hours for the job..
Righto. 5.2 x shaftage per hour =
Anything else worth getting out of the way while they are changing the cambelt?

alternator belt mate... dont let them charge any extra labour as they got to take it off any way...
hope that is of some help mate..
Weeman sucks ****
NO CAMBELT CHANGE AT 36K, look in the manual?!?!
Its the aux belt and doesnt cost over 200 notes, just over 100 IIRC when mine was done at 36k. The garage might want to change your spark plugs to so make sure you check that one aswell, thats done on the 72k I think?

Oh and when I had a new alternator tensioner bolt put in under warranty, it was a bumper off job, just for the record unless they were telling me porky pies.
So, 36k for me, will be new cambelt, new alternator belt and aux belt check?
Weeman sucks ****
Ill say it again, NO CAMBELT CHANGE! Only auxilary (sp) belt change. My 36k service was about 280-300 but would have to dig out the old invoice to be sure.
I think the aux belt is the alternator belt. It;s only supposed to be checked and not a part of the actual service but worth changing as it could go another time.
I know that the cambelt isnt changed in a regular 36k, its because my 172 will be 5 years old in September so I might as well get it done the now.
Weeman sucks ****
oh right, sorry i didnt know that.
You got any contacts in Scotland clarkie?
Well, Ill be going to FCS, but Im sitting at 35400ish at the moment. How far is FCS from you? Would you stamp the book as being serviced at 36k....?
French Car Show
How far is Devon from Bruntingthorpe?
Balls. Geography was never my strong point.
It is south of where FCS will be isnt it?
Would I get a hefty discount?
Weeman sucks ****
Sorry clarkie mate, not all garages are the same and I was a bit hasty on posting up.

Alex,
Cheers for the email, I will be getting you to do the work on it
My mate at work lives in Exmouth and knew the garage, said one of his mates used to work there as well.
As for free collection and delivery, would that extend to my office which is just near the Exeter services?
(Work for South West Water)
Have mailed you back.
