Are they easy to fit?

95% of them? lol

why though? i have faith in my car and the garage that done the job so why would i need to prove that some local garage can actually do a cambelt change without messing the timing up?

FACT- the locking tools are available from laser, sealey and other manfacturers. if 95% of garages f**k up the job on a 172/182 then mate where are all these thousands of fucked engines, customers complaints to watch dog? How is autodata wrong? and how can you say that 98% that my cambelt kit...

mate i have never said these tools are not required. i am wanting to know why these tools are reffered to as special cos there not! so why do you insist that garages would use half of these? maybe some around bedford do but i know that the garage that done mine used a renault timing tool kit...

i am not saying that, i am saying that in some cars they will fit others, you keep refering to this tool as special danny, whats special about a cam sprocket tool? i know laser do a cheap one but sealey do them and so do snap on which are spot on items and for not a lot of dough.

Thats really funny! i am a plank cos a local reputable garage carries out a cambelt kit change and charges me alot less then what peeps on here are paying even though they use all the correct tools to carryout the job and becuase they dont class the tools as 'special', they are considered to do...

not all are renault specfic some will fit other cars.

please explain what signs would be visible or what you have found with these engines that you have not used the so called 'special tool'? no need to tar with the same brush if around bedford garages are unable to correctly carry out a cambelt change.

mate you are really stupid, i have clearly seen the pics and can verify those are not no 'special tools' and are exactly the same f**king tools used on my car, if you wish to believe they are special then do so, these are standard tools used for locking pulleys and cams and crank. next time read...

ok mate bend over backways and enjoy!

we both win if budgie wins!

there is no such thing as a special locking tool mate! you and every other person on here are been fooled into this bullshit thing. all that tool is a cam sprocket locking tool. nearly all garages use it like it advises in guess what....Autodata!

if your prepared to pay another garages fees to have it checked then yes mate lets bet!

seems to me that specialists refer to these locking tools as 'special' and most garages including renault dealerships just use the the traditional cam locking tools, cam pulley locking tool and crank pin. I don't see how autodata 2011 is incorrect to the procedure as the instructions are...

Sounds like you are convinced the garage has incorrectly fitted your cambelt kit ot tensioner when it maybe that your research on here is causing you to disbelieve something that is not so trivia. i had my belts changed recently and there is no magic or any special tools required other than...

So what was the outcome then? my revs stick i found that the cable needs replacing as it strectched.

do you work for the glasgow rs dealership?

anyone else?

mini meet anyone? i reckon somewhere like clophill, flitwick, or bedford area would be ideal. or could do baldock services.

henlow and yes i have a 172

read this: Genuine oil filter £4 Elf 5w40 £15 Total service cost £19 boom lol thats your words mate and if thats a service i am french!

Mate a 'service' isn't an oil and filter change, thats known as an oil change or oil service, which should be done only in between services if you wish too but should not replace annual or schedualed service as part like air filter that requires replacing will be over looked, how will you know...

this is pretty much what every garage should be doing on a full service including plugs and all filters. If you do all the above then i would say your doing a 100% SPOT ON JOB MATE!

This is a basic service mate. a proper service will also remove wheels and check and clean brakes allround, check tyre conditions, check and adjust pressures check the coolant is right by means of a test check battery check exhaust system check suspension components, joints, bushes. also greese...

does the fastchip make any difference?

did you notice a difference once you changed them?

how much is the rr day on the 5th?

no service history after 30k, no proof of mileage unless he has old mot's and service records? cambelts will cost around 400-500 quid, thats seems about right priced then.
