Cant see why brakes would need to be done?

Don't need to take the bumper off. When Fred says undo the exhaust manifold he means from the downpipe. Don't try to unbolt it from the head. I'm sure you won't but just to clarify, more hassle than its worth. Oh and do you have abs? Makes it extra ahrd to get out!

Need to drain the power steering fluid because the pipe needs to be dissconected. Also gearbox oil. No need to drain brake fluid though?
So coolant, Gear Box amd Pas need draining. nothing else?
What do i need to do about fuel lines?
So long as the end of the pipe stays higher than the level of the fuel in the tank it won't come out so no issue.
Thankyou Edde for another helpful post.

Ok am all sorted ready for tomorrow morning, aprart from mani and fuel lines.
2 small problems though, when i pushed out the roll pin it demolished it, is there any other way of sorting it (ie a bolt of the same diameter) as renault will be closed tomorrow or do i even need to replace it?
also when i withdrew the passanger driveshaft the thing the tripod sits in also came out (not good i am presuming) have it seated back again but found this, does anybody know what it is, what it does and if it is essential?

I have some extra pins here somwhere but there probably lost. there only 10 p or so.
You could just drive round without one for a bit I know a few people who have but I woulnd't recomend it. A quick repair fix is just to use some coat hanger thread. Just remeber the shaft ins't a perfect straight though hole in the center if it doesn't fit one way round turn it 180 degress and it will fit.
The cars now undrivable without that broken bearing bit there a common failure cheap from Renault but now that its not there the differential isn't held together you can put the car in gear etc and the speed will go u just the differential won't tur the wheels.
So this is the diff circlip? Where is the rest? thought the diff was on the other side (this was from passenger side) how much is this part and what do i ask for?
Just take it in the dealership will know what it is.
The rest in in the gearbox somwhere you've two options
1 strip the box down and find it
2 leave it and get as much fluid out as you can etc.
Its only a few pence under £5 I'm sure. 70p rings a bell.
Cant get into a dealership as i work in the week and my car is off the road 
Will this be the reason my car wont go?

I've been menaing to look at your thread about your car not going for ages if this was broken before ou took the shaft out them yep this would show why yor car not moving.
I'm sure someone on the thread has mentioned this though.
But the speedo never went up whilst it was running? could i have done it when removing the driveshaft?
Would i be best off putting a new box in or will it not matter as long as i replace this bit?
Will ring reno on monday, jus need to know what to ask for. :S
Just replace the bit and see might get lucky and the bit won't get into thr working just sit at the bottom of the box you might be unlucky and it get into and chi a tooth etc its a risk.
You could yep do it when removing the shaft.
What you recon then, have an RT sitting on the driveway, whip the box off that? will is just fit straight on to the shafts clutch etc?
Completly forgot to ask where the hell this goes and what it does...
Presum its the circlip to hold the washer with the tab on and the big cog thing in place...

Yep should do.
I'd stick with your box though for the effort.
You'd got a Halnes so the best idea is for me to tell you where it is its part 46 on the top drawing (9.1b) of page 7A-12 using that an the drawing at the front of that part will show you were it goes it goes up the place you pull the shaft from.
Cheers Edde, will have a look.
Think i might end up replacing the box as i dont trust it. :S
