when i had it the clutch was notchy, dunno if you've found this. Was biting fine but as you say quite high, get it looked at prob got a year or so left in it but if your finding it uncomfortable get it changed

 

[benji&eka]

most renaults have a foookin high biting point

 

[medici999]

how much to change?
cheers

 

[Has]

how much to change?
cheers

Expensive !

Doubt its the cable....
Id say clutch is prolly on way out, but shud have a fair few miles left on it.

Get it done at the same time as the cambelt? will set you back a fair penny or two tho

 

[Middo]

^ yep sting the wallet in one big go lol. As has says defo get the cambelt done this year just to be on the safe side as it has a high mileage for its age

If your confident with spanners its not hard to do the clutch but id advise getting a garage to do the cambelt.

 

[medici999]

ill get em both done like november time, wont have much money till then! can u not manually adjust biting point?
cheers

 

[medici999]

do i get a cambelt full kit? if so how much am i looking for that and a new clutch including fitting? would no one of her do it for me?
middo im gonna bring car to stoke sometime to see you!
cheers

 

[Middo]

lol that would be mint would love to see the old car again! cant really help you on price, as i'm not really confident enough with my estimates, edde should be able to help you though

 

[mini-valver]

clutches are around 80 IIRC, fitting really isnt that difficult, get a haynes manual and your away! I paid £160 to have my cambelt and idler pullys changed all in so not too bad!
If your getting it all fitted then reckon about £400ish all in i'd have said

 

[medici999]

is it defo worth the money?

 

[medici999]

is £250 a lot for cambelt and everything changed? not clutch tho

 

[mini-valver]

Not really, get the aux belt done too though as if that snaps its bye bye cambelt and a couple of pistons and valves!

 

[medici999]

ok

 

[Has]

Renault price at a garge is roughly

Cambelt & Aux £450 +vat
Clutch £385+vat

You will also more then likely need water pump at the cambelt change about another £125+vat

an independant garage will be cheaper but not by much.

 

[Middo]

i would defo defo get the cambelt done without a shadow of a doubt, it just simply isnt worth the risk. As for clutch, that will be fine for maybe another 10k, but its weather you can put up with it for that long.

 

[Spiezels]

Mines the same, its almost fully out to reach the bite.
