Does anyone around the South West (Devon) area fancy doing a cambelt on a Clio 16v? Or recommend a good garage? I un derstand it's not easy, but this is getting stupid.
I've got a genuine Renault cambelt kit...just need someone to fit it asap really.
One garage said they needed a special tool and another wanted £300 just on labour.
Cheers. |

I did mine myself; although it took a while the first time (learning from scratch) it seems fine now, touch wood! *touches wood* That way you also get to know your engine that bit more intimately lol
Oh, plus the guys on here were really helpful with advice along the way! Haynes was more confusing than useful, be warned |

200 - 250 is a fair price in all honesty for fitting |
