i assume i cant take pulley off without the tools? i need to take head off to see wats damaged

 

[sideways danny]

you can if the belt is still tight and you lock the bottom end. Belt tension will hold the pulleys enough to slacken them

ok, will try that. engine ran low on oil and altho i think its just the dephaser thats naffed i may as well check by whipping head off all else is ok. i drained oil and took sump off and was nothing nasty in sump so assume all ok. may as well replace head gasket now tho. i guess i can hire the renault tool then from someone when i put it back together. other wise will have to throw more money at my inept dealer!!
