So today i have been fixing my sons car, whoever did the last cambelt change did not tension it correctly, water pump knackered, Renault Clio, bloody nightmare, got to take half the engine apart just to find the pump, and the french seem to like playing hide and seek with some of the bolts.

 

I always thought Texe paid well?

A lot use the water pump as the cam belt tensioner. Always seemed daft to me. Adrian may i ask why you bought your lad a French car?

I didn't, he bought it himself, TBF it was cheap, £500.00, first car and all that

HaHa only did it because i can, and to save him a few quid, he had to poay for the bits though, £95.00

They have a good safety rating i think though.

Ill guess £500.

I dont buy anything french, not even wine.

 

 

Bought my first car last weekend, bmw 320d sport coupe(imola red), needless to say it goes like .... off a stick, lol.
