    How to replace alternator

    That's very kind of you, thanks, but I'm about 100 miles away. Parts should arrive tomorrow so hopefully all goes well :grimacing:

    How to replace alternator

    Hopefully by the time the parts arrive I'll be feeling braver. It does make sense to change the belt. The other parts you mention can wait I think. That's way to technical and beyond my abilities. Thanks all for your help. I would have been screwed without it.

    How to replace alternator

    I must admit after watching this I am tempted to leave the belt alone for now. It looks horrendous. Could be a job for the warmer months.

    How to replace alternator

    That's great thankyou. I suppose it would be a good idea to replace the belt too and they don't seem to have them. Any idea what part I need? I'm sorry, I'm not very good at this sort of thing. :blush:

    How to replace alternator

    Yeah, I agree, not ideal but by that point there were 10cm flames so I had to do something quick. Just phoned Renault about a replacement alternator and they want £297 for a recon unit. :astonished: Found this online at a much better price. Would this unit be correct...

    How to replace alternator

    Thanks for the guide. I've just had smoke pouring out of the grille and when I opened the bonnet, flames coming out of the alternator. One time i was happy it was raining as it meant puddles were handy to put it out. Just out of curiosity, where did you get a replacement alternator from? Thanks.

    Ferrari F40 Burnout Video

    Not a 250, I think its a 275 GTB/C. Very rare and probably an 7 figure car.

    horrible creaking noise on 182

    That does sound bad. You do seem to be wrestling the wheel. Has the steering got heavier? ETA. Have you checked all the gaitors on the CVs, rack and track rod ends. Checked for anything that is loose under there?

    horrible creaking noise on 182

    In my experience CV joints rumble. Its likely to be your top suspension mounts. Not the end of the World. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell you how to sort it.

    Discs And Pads Needed For A 172

    I need some help. I need to change the discs and pads, front and rear on my 172 but I'm not sure what to go for as I don't know what different companies make them and what is available. Up to now I have been to Renault and they want £350 for them. Any help and advice would be greatly...

    they all do it Lumpy idle thread?

    That's not a bit lumpy, that's a lot lumpy.

    they all do it Lumpy idle thread?

    They do idle a bit lumpy. If the performance of the car isn't affected, just save the money you would spend on parts and accept it.

    Decision time....

    Swap back to standard what makes it noisy/uncomfortable, get the work done and keep it. Selling the bits could help pay for the work needed?

    just found out my cars cat c ????

    What a complete s**t for doing that. Ok, it's one thing not disclosing if not asked (not that I would even do that tbh ), but to tell lies like that is really cuntish.

    Hesitation help!!

    Well, how about that. It sounds exactly like mine is when it's cold and it has always done it. :S

    It'll be fine. Deburr the holes and paint them. Might make it go a tiny bit faster too.:)

    CLOCK COUNTING IN SECS

    You've accidentally accessed the Renault break down clock. It should be set by the dealership when the car is new so at 3 years and 1 day the car breaks down disasterously. It also breaks open the packet of squeaks that are hidden under the dashboard and the sachet of thuds kept in the engine...

    Are you sure it isn't coming from behind the interior light?

    Why did you choose a RenaultSport Clio?

    Re: Why did you choose a clio sport?? Someone will be along shortly to tell you it's a Renaultsport Clio. Hope you enjoy it. Is that a fatory fitted Satnav? If so, a rare option. Oh, and to answer your question, because it was cheap.

    RIP engine?????

    IMO, if you're not sure you a trust the garage or you don't think he's wised up F4R wise, I would seek a second opinion. Is there anyone on here who can look at it for you. Once the garage start pulling it to bit, you're in for a big bill even if the engine is fooked.
