    Hi there, As above, just been recovered home with a broken cambelt on my 1997 Clio with 1.4 E7J engine. I wasn't going fast (20-30 mph) and stopped immediately. There wasn't a bang, the engine just cut out. How likely am I to get away with just putting a new belt on it? Is there a way to...

    I am planning a timing belt change. Having read a number of documents on the procedure (including Renault Technical Document 6006A), I am confused about the "timing" (excuse the pun) of the removal of the timing pins. In many of the documents, the procedure states to insert the crankshaft...

I have it down as 36000 miles and it was only changed...
