Bottled it! Long story but I have booked it in at Renault Derby to have the pedal fitted. They are charging an hours labour at £45.30 + Vat, having looked at peoples opinions on it being a pain to do, I would sooner pay that than have a heart attack!

Wish you'd have said sooner that you were gonna take it to renault, I'd have pointed you towards a specialist in Long Eaton, I got him to fit my clutch pedal when it had a mardy

thanks for that mate. Should have it back tomorrow morning. To be fair to Renault Derby I've bought a few bits off them and they've been very good. I work for Pendragon so can get cost +10% on all genuine bits from Evans Halshaw dealers, but they let me down at the weekend. I live in Chez so I'm bang between Shef and Derby but I work in Derby and they've been doing me a deal on the bits so fair play to them.

always check with Renault for bits, I've been amazed by what I can still get and for a sensible price! Those orange rubber gaskets that go in the rocker cover gasket were £1.08 each, plastic screws for spark plug cover 80p each.

so how long did it take to change the clutch pedal ratchet?

No idea matey but its a different car now! The biting point is bang in the centre, not 3mm from the deck like it was. As the clutch cable/pedal has gone twice in a couple of weeks my confidence with its a bit low as the pedals still quite heavy (standard) but to be fair to Renault, they charged my £104 all in, pedal was 50 and labour 54 so I can't knock em. Hey on a totally different subject any news on the next badge of ELF rear window stickers?.
