my cambelt was last changed at 72k miles as it says in the handbook. my car is now on 119k, am i right in thinking that it wont need to be done again until 144k miles (if the car lasts that long)?? also, ive noticed that when changing gear, if you give it some revs before the clutch comes up...

Basically Im looking to replace my 1993 K-reg RT which has done 118000 miles with a slightly newer, lower mileage one. Im looking for an M or N reg (Mk1 phase 2) 1.4RT, Ive found a few possibles, just a quick quick question: Did all the M and N reg RTs have the extra equipment such as...

Recently, Ive been seriously considering getting shot of my K-reg 1.4RT, as loads seems to be going wrong on it and I cant afford to keep taking it into the garage for a new this or a replacement that. So, Im looking at part-exchanging against a newer, lower-mileage 1.4RT, just been looking...

OK, i know that my wheel bearing is on its way out, when it was serviced recently he asked me if i wanted it replacing. The car makes a very loud humming noise when im driving above about 30, and if i turn the steering slightly to the left it gets louder and more of a buzz. Can you explain...

As title suggests, what sort of price should I be looking at, as mine is now making a noise similar to a vacuum cleaner above 20 mph!! thanks

is there any difference between holding the accelerator down (engine in neutral) to about 3500RPM for a couple of hours and cruising on the motorway for several hours in 5th gear at around 3500rpm? also, say youre at 80 on the motorway (i know you wouldnt but just say you are ;)), what speed...

My K-reg Clio has done 118000 miles and generally seems to be OK, I just have some difficulties with the gearbox. I took the car into renault this morning to have the master cylinder replaced, and the guy dropping me off at work (in my car) commented on the fact that the gearbox was quite...

I was driving along quite happily the other night when I put my foot on the brake pedal, and it went down almost to the floor before the brakes began to work. Needless to say I almost s**t myself. So i called the AA, the guy turns up and problem didnt happen for him. He informed me that most...

Is it possible to do anything about the poor ride in my car? I seem to feel literally every lump, bump and stone on the road which isnt very pleasant. I do live in an area infested with speed bumps, which I dont tend to slow down much for, could this have knackered the shocks? Could I...

why do my engine revs drop so low that the car shudders when i brake to a stop with my foot on the clutch?

£173.07 for new brake discs & pads, fitted. (at a renault dealer)

was about to pull away earlier, put the clutch down, into gear, start lifting left foot.......huh! the clutch pedal wasnt following my foot like it usually does. then suddenly it just jumped up and hit the bottom of my foot, stalling the car! seems that the pedal sticks down if u put it to the...

does idle speed control valve mean the same as idle speed control motor? and what exactly does it do?

how can i tell if my gearbox is wearing out, what should i be looking out for?

ive been wondering about a couple of things, hoping you guys would have some answers! 1. rough cost of a reconditioned gearbox? 2. what is involved in changing a head gasket? 3. has anyone got an image of a 1.4 energy engine. any and all input is appreciated!:)

Guys, I need an estimate! How much is it likely to cost to have one front wheel bearing replaced on a Mk1 RT? (or do they both need doing together?) Its just when I turn the steering to the right at a junction and accelerate, there is a grinding sound coming from somewhere in front. It is...

please could someone explain what is torque steer, and why it occurs? thanks:)

only just noticed this today, when I was turning right at a t-junction, the steering was turned mid-way between straight and lock and i could hear quite clearly a sort of rumbling/growling which certainly didnt sound too good! there was also a kind of light knocking sound as well. can anyone...

anybody used this stuff? i just applied a load to the front of my subframe after discovering some rust:o just wondering how effective it is, how long it lasts etc cheers:) EDIT: just discovered ive got the b****Y stuff in my hair:@

i recently replaced the hose between the hot air shield and the air inlet manifold (?) with one from halfords. after being on the car a week, this hose disintegrated, which annoyed me. i dont want to replace it with another halfords one, so can anyone recommend a good place to get replacement...

how exactly is it done? do you have to change the springs?

at the major service i was advised that one of my cv gaiters was beginning to perish. am i able to get a split/fit & glue replacement or are they tailored?

if i said to you my brakes arent as good now as they were when i bought the car, which bit (or bits!) need replacing? im thinking either brake shoes or discs. the rear cylinders have just been replaced (at great expense). :)

can anyone explain what happens when you take the car in for a tune-up, what exactly do they do, how much etc cheers
