Hi, What roof boxes do you guys use on your mk2's? I have the standard Renault roof bars and need a roof box. I am particularly looking at the HALFORDS 250L one, does anyone have this ??? Cheers

Hi, Does anyone have the Renault roof rack and the thule 591 carrier ? I like the look of the renault roof rack best and wondered if the carrier fits ok? Thanks

I cant do that mate as its going to get the car scruffy, plus I need to take all my gear with me etc etc

I think they look good, I wouldn't say the calipers are undersized, we are not running lambos or anything that needs huge calipers

Hi Just wondering what cycle carriers you guys use on your clio's? I need a good one for my downhill bike that doesn't take an age to fit or damages the car. Cheers !

Rules that one out then, cheers Would an uneven tensioned or over tensioned belt cause the noise? Ta

Yup, he used all 3 tools I can confirm. I will get the aux belt kit changing to see if its that next as he removed the aux belt and inspected it for me and refitted, could be running against small micro grooves that have been made in the past maybe ? I have also just had one other idea of a...

Thanks, I will double check thats what he done, sure I seen he had that tool too. Why is this tool specific to this renault engine? As all the other locking tools I have see have the same adjustable slider and keep both cams locked in place the same as the renault tool. Or is this just...

One more quick question.. When the cams are locked in from the back using the tool and the crank pulley pinned, can both the cam pulleys be loosened off without the worry of lossing the timing? I will have to ask what procedure he used, he might have already done this and its just the case of...

Brilliant post;) So if the whirring is coming from there then its un even tension on the belt ? The noise goes away when the throttle is blipped so need to get it back in to be checked if its that or the aux, Is there a common tendancy for the belt to slip if there is uneven tension?

Excuse my ignorance but why would he need to slacken the cam pulleys to tension? Is just changing the idlers not ok and retensioning?

Yeah il ask, What is the reason to slacken the pulleys off? Cheers

I honestly have no idea if he did Fred, would he need to remove the timing pulleys at all for the belt? do you think its timung related? Thanks

Schoolboy error I guess ! Damn, Hope its just the aux kit as there was no noise before hand, in all fairness if I hadnt been listening on purpose for it due to past experience I wouldnt have noticed

Inexperience of clio owning I guess :( Think I should get the aux kit and change the dephaser? Best place to get these renault ? What would be best? Change aux kit? If its still there then the dephaser? Cheers

I did yes :( Guess I tempted fait !

I got my timing belt done today, spot on lad , used all the tools, great However I decided not to get the auxillary kit fitted at the same time and now I have a whirring noise ! I dont think it is the timing belt ? I got him to remove the aux belt and check it out and it seemed fine. Once the...

I don't really have any other words to describe it but its like a tinny noise under acceleration... sounds like its coming from the front and im pretty sure its not engine related, is it just the internals of the exhasut breaking down ? It doesn't seem as if the exhaust is blowing however...

Sorry I should have explained better, The last timing belt I done was on a saxo. Cheers

Getting my belt done tommorrow and just thinking When I pick it up there should be no whirring noise as if the belts too tight, The last one I fitted myself I think I done too tight and it whirred as im thinking if any over tightness on the 182 would accelerate probs on the dephaser? Cheers

How much was your yozza and decat mate? Wouldnt let me access the site before to check

Good good, I just want the rasp and rumble back I had in my v6 crossfire, this sounds a bit dull at the min

Im a going to get a system and de cat, Wouldn't mind the yozza sport one from the sound clips on you tube, how much have you guys paid for them in the past? Also I want maximum noise, rasp and flame effect ;) Will I need an induction kit too? As reading up theres nothing wrong at all with...

Im just looking at the pictures of the locking tools but I cant understand how it differs from the normal holding grippers that hold the camshafts together in place. What is the purpose of the rear of the camshafts holders too?, even if everything was marked up and aligned correctly even if it...

or the surrounding areas ??? Cheers

Im getting it changed anyway but In my opinion it is over exagerated with the age thing of the timing belt I believe (5years anyway) as it is not open to any ingress of oil/dirt or any other contaminats to degrade the belt, yes they do stretch and crack overtime but that would be excelerated by...

Very true Fred !! Is there a quick way i can check the idler as its going to be 3weeks or so before i can get the car into a garage due to needing it for work etc

Hi, Anyone entrusted in these parts to do a cambelt? Thanks

will do, are they really time degradeable ? anyone know of any good specialists in the north east ? and has anyone ever had one let go before 72k and under 5 years? Thanks

Hi, I know renault recommend 5years or 72k but in reality when is it best to change on these engines ? Mine is an '05 with 53k Cheers
