Right lads and lasses, the aux belt snapped on the car last week luckily didnt get caught up in the cam belt ( phewww )!! Finally renault called and told me the kits arrived. Now me and my uncle who is a competent mechanic are goin 2 change it tommorow and i was wondering if thers any normal problems or things can get in the way which i should know about and soloutions 2 them if there are any?? Cheers guys

Access is limited and you may have to make a tool to de-tension the tensioner, other than that it's quite easy.

A starter for 10 .....

Loosen the alternator and pull it forward to get a few extra millimeters of the belt off.
