Bought a 95 clio 16v two months ago and the cam belt went - aarrgh! Still, bought a new head, gaskets, timing belt and cam belt and have fitted it all but the bloody thing wont quite strat! It nearly does - anyone else had this/got any ideas? Also, where does the heat sheild go that i pulled out from near the exhaust manifold? CAnt seem to put it back anywhere!! All help appreciated!

chances are uve got a load of bent valves etc. Very unlikely ur belt snapped without causing any other damage.

Sounds like the valves might be bent??? or check the timing marks, and the ignition leads.

Got a new head mate and put that on so ive got new valves - bent the last ones on the old head i had though - damn thing just wont quite kick into life!

Ive got it all built back together - all new parts that went wrong - is it typical of clios to to take some real encouragement to get started again after they have been standing for about a month? It may just be that the thing needs to get all the relevant fluids around the engine before it will start again
