Cam belt replacement - advice seeked

[Nickysteveo]

Sorry about this but there seems to be some confusion about the cam belt kit part number that is good for my 1994 williams 1.
Using my number plate and giving it to Renault they reckon 7701469775
But RPD reckon 7701471866 and you seemed to think that number was correct too.

Any ideas why there is this confusion?
Because I have found a genuine 7701471866 part quite cheap.

Because your Renault dealer is useless like the vast majority of them when it comes to older cars, trust RPD, they know their stuff when it comes to Mk1 Clio's

Renault also have an annoying habit of randomly changing or superceding part numbers so trust RPD to have the correct & most up to date part number

Many thanks again for all that information.
Have acquired all the parts now via ebay.

Unfortunately, my regular mechanic took one look at the engine and said he doesn't want to do the cam belt change now because he recons not enough room to do it without taking out the engine.

Any ideas who might do the job some where in the south?
I'm not far from Heathrow.

I will try Renault speed in North camp and ktec. And see what they say.

[Nickysteveo]

Renault speed don't want to do it, say the car is too old for them.

Waiting on replies from Renault main dealer and ktec

I have someone doing the cam belt at last.
And apparently they need a fan belt idler.

Do you know where I can get one of these for my williams 1?
Cheers
Nick
