Im booked in at NW Performance tomorrow for 5 year service, ill let you know how I get on tomorrow night. Its an hour and a half away from you.

ok i am taking my car to a garage round near me, the chap comes to my place of work and he is a cusomer and has recently set up his own garage business, he is getting me a price tomorrow on getting the cam belt and tensioners, water pump, auxilary belt and to sort this weird noise comeing from the engine bay

ive heard the cambelt job is a bit of a specialists job where a special renault tool is required, im just worring too much about mine going tits up lol

 

[BenG]

Yeah you need the special Renault locking tools for the cambelt change. I think it can be done with none Renault tools but its dodgey? Thats why most go to Renault specialists who have the right tools and have knowledge and experience with the F4R engine, piece of mind and in most cases its cheaper than the local garage. Make sure you fit the Cam belt KIT and Aux Belt KIT and not just the belts alone.

nw are 64 miles away so not bad at all, do they specialise in clios? not looked at website yet

 

[BenG]

They specialise in Clio's mate ye. They sell all sorts of parts for Clio's too, they have been very helpful on the phone over the past few days .

Have a look on website when you get chance.

 

[BenG]

NW Performance, Angelworks and Birchdown are not too far away so you have no excuses not to go to a specialists
