Wheres best to buy a few things ?

[Whisker biscuit]

Need engine mounts, gearbox mounts and a belt kit. Fancy upgraded mounts and a decent belt kit rather than a cheap one. Cheers.

Ktec for engine mounts, IIRC its Vibratechnics or something...

Belts, Genuine are made by Gates which can be had at most motor factors.

really wanting to change all mounts when I get this new engine fitted, have I missed any out ?

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Are there any other mounts needed apart from the ones I have just bought ?

Cheers.

There's a lower gearbox mount, too. Just get an OE one, though. The two top ones and the dogbone uprated will be fine.

is your car the twin cam? if so your missing the cam blanking plates/plug things.

they are 2 black cap looking things one bigger then the other that go on the opposite side of the engine from the belt.

out of curiousity what did renault charge for the kit? i got my factors one for about 70 quid ...

Twin cam ? No idea lol.

Paid £140 from Renault but as said above I want the proper job and not a cheap alternative.

buying from a motor factors isnt a cheap alternative but the same kit without the renault price tag, anyway your car and cash lol

what engine do you have? is it a sport? if so its twin cam and the blanking plates are a must as they need to be removed to fit a cam locking tool for changing the belt, you can put the old ones back in but then its likely to leak oil down the side

i did when doing mine, the belt just comes by itself and is cheap and i reckon worth doing whilst your down there anyway, if i remember rightly it has to come at least halfway off to access timing belt anyhow, but theres no harm in not doing it if you want to recuperate the cost of that timing kit! lol
