That's good to know at least I can still get to work in it :smile:
AMC Motor Engineering in Paignton (https://www.amcmotorengineering.co.uk/)
Has owned many Renaults in his time (Andy) and has done numerous cam belts on some of the local 17/182's. Formerly into his Renault 5 turbos but owned a 320bhp Clio Turbo so knows what he is doing. Have trusted him to replace the cam belt on mine twice now and the car has covered 132,000 miles without fail (aux belt is another story but not down to his workmanship!).
SJM / Ktec both very busy for any kind of service work so give Andy a call and get him to have a look.
I ran mine after minor valve / piston collision for approximately 5,000 miles and it sounded and ran fine until it finally gave up the ghost!
Thanks will ping an email over :smile: Any idea on price? PM if you want?
Yikes your'e a braver man than me 😂
He charges approx. £50 per hour I think but that is the usual going rate for a decent garage.
Let him know you have spoken to me and he might just get it in for a look first and if it needs any work he will give you a quote. Not too far over the bridge to Devon either :smile:
My insurance company paid for the rebuild as an object came up off the road and smashed the cam belt cover, winner!
