72000 mile service - What should I do?

[106diablogti]

Hi chaps I have my 72k service approaching and i need an idea of what i should get done?

I have had my gearbox oil changed recently along with coolant and brake fluid so this will be ok. Oh also power steering fluid is new.

The dissy cap and rotor arm are new.

Brake discs, pads and tyres are fine.

My list of service parts : -

Cam Belts & tensioners
New Water pump (Is this advisable?)
Distributor leads
Oil Change, filter & sump plug washer
Spark plugs


Anybody think of anything else i need to do or require?

Cheers

Rich

looks like u have it all covered

[stew]

fuel filter?

[106diablogti]

I had the fuel filter replaced 6k ago, do you think it needs changing so soon?

Thanks

[Rich]

no mate they last an age

[106diablogti]

Cheers mate.

Where should i get parts from?

The cambelt and tensioner kit is £54.00 excl VAT form GSF? Im not sure if this will be a Renault OEM kit?

The water pump looks as if i can only get it from Renault, does this come with a seal kit & how much does it cost?

[Rich]

wont be a genuine kit at that price mate but imo a cambelt is a cambelt! they prob will supply a gates belt with it anyway (what renault use) and the tensioners will be more than ok for the job

[bass_direct]

iirc lunner got the cambelt/tensioner from gsf and it was a reno part..

[Laine_16v]

So did i and yes it was gen ren kit, i think it cost £65 or something.

[Rich]

hmm mine wasnt when i did mine :? must be luck of the draw, the belt was gates like renault ones but the tensioners came in a wwhite and green box

[Dancliovalver]

do u know anyone who works at ur local halfords???

i got a brand new water pump and oil filter for 22 sniffs, he stuck it on his trade card lol and i got a proper invoice to stick in my folder :P

[Allan]

when i did mine on boxing day the cambelt was a drayco or somthing, and i also got the same belt the last time i did it on the valver one was from gsf and the time before was from BB and the tensioner and bearings were in a green and white box

[Clio_GTT]

Deffo advise doing the water pump, most motor factors sell them tho as they're common on most F type blocks.

What about the Aux belt ?

[106diablogti]

Hi guys i just got a quote from a mate who's old man owns an authorised renault garage. Nick has had a couple of Williams so knows what he is doing.

Got the following quote from him : -

Cam belt and tensioners £92.55 (Renault OEM parts)
Water Pump £38.35 (Renault OEM parts)
Coolant £15.00
Labour £120.00 (to fit water pump and cambelt kit)

Total cost £270.00

Is this resonable?

[Zollo]

Very reasonable indeed. Definately go for it.

[dan 16v]

my cam belt fitting cost was £300 !!!! Also Renault the previous time they have changed it didnt bother to change the pre tensioner which he said was another hour on its own.

[Allan]

yeah thats a very good price i was quoted loads of prices over the 400 mark ! in the end i just did it myself for 70 quid in parts
