Should i change my plugs

[mgoode180566]

Still on originals i believe at 110K !

What difference will it make. It doesnt miss or anything like that !

always worth a plug change after about 30k lol amazing they made it that long lol, you might see a cleaner burn and better mpg with new plugs, give it a mini service, oil, oil filter plugs and filter clean, always worth it

 

[mgoode180566]

just read the interval is 70k.

has a full history but no invoice for the parts so my guess wasnt done.

what do you recommend to fit ?

Mine looked fine at 70k. You could take them out and have a look but for 35 quid if you've removed them you might as well change them.

^ +1 may aswell change them it's not exactly expensive, NGK are the best.

Take it you have had the cambelt done then?

 

[st3ve]

if your car has a service history up to about 70k then it probably has had the cam/timing belt changed. if not then might be worth getting it done asap or you will be needing a new engine/rebuild if the belt snaps

Is there anyway of telling of the cam/timing belt has been changed? As I've recently bought a Clio and from searching through reciepts I can't find one saying its had it done. Its on 67k.

It has been done. I have a recipt from Renault Slough for £700 ish . Was done 3 yrs ago ( 40K since then ).

Glad i didnt pay it

I doubt it has been changed on that mileage as the interval is 72k. If the car is older than 5 yrs it should have been changed irrespective of mileage.

May have been the reason it was sold.

Is it a 172/182 ?

I would say it probably hasn't been changed as Renault don't recomend it until 70k. However If it breaks, your engine will need rebuilding so get it done asap. Will probably cost about £300-£400 depending on where you take it. Also get all the other belts changed at the same time as the front bumper etc has to come off anyway, (Fiddly job). Mine's done 45k but will get it done at about 55-60k (not worth risking).

The car is only a 1.4 and crickey thats expensive!

I could be wrong but i dont think it is that bad on a non RenaultSport.
