2. And also beside the cambelt, is there any other belt i need to change? such as the Alternator belt? Please advice
Thanks alot guys, really really appreciate your help

You need to replace the cambelt as a kit e..g belt, tensioners
Then water pump if the engine is out and may want to consider the clutch although the mileage is very low
You should also look at changing the auxiliarly belt and pulley, plus get the crankshaft bolt because they can stretch
Get a list of part numbers and I can try get a price from a contact in UK who is a supplier e.g. lock above is 34.12 and believe that they do not charge 20% VAT because its outside of the EU. Shipping is usually 3-5 days air courier
I'm not sure if they can ship oil though for the gearbox - means you have to go to the dealer for that - but can ask
Spacers at the front on mine are 10MM but only rub with full lock on - in my opinion worth it because makes the car look better. However, think Eibach no longer sell them so you'll need to search on the forum for alternative manufacturers

hi Wong,
I am getting directly from K-Tec racing i think. Is their price ok?
can i get the part number for the alternator belt set and the crankshaft bolt?
as for the oil, i can get it locally shouldnt be a problem.

Hi guys,
For the MTF u guys recommend the ELF 75-80. But i check it is Semi Synthetic
Redline also got come out 75-80 which is fully synthetic, any of you guys use Redline MTF before? Since the weight is the same and it is fully synthetic as compared to elf semi synthetic. Shouldnt it be better?

Put it this way my gearbox was filled with the equivalent oil to elf and soon after the diff whined meaning replacement gearbox
So if you're going with anything other than what's recommended - I'd suggest you ask ktec to order you a new gearbox too
Can't be that difficult to get the oil from the dealer ?

Sorry Sky - I didn't realise you were asking about gearbox oil. Different situation I'm afraid, as the gearboxes are weak. I think you'll need to search the site and glean what you can from the historical discussions...
Or better still - call Scott at SGM for his opinion (ask the expert).

Stick with the Elf oil, it is what the box was designed to use, saving a couple of quid a litre is not worth the risk of a replacement box! I am sure that Opie oils, or other reputable suppliers, will be able to get the right oil out to you without too much difficulty, that is assuming that you can't source via your local Renault agents who should have ready access to Elf oils.
alright. understood guys. thanks for the advice. i guess i should definitely stick to elf gearbox oil.
its not that its difficult. just that because i am located in malaysia. everything that i order need to be sent in here overseas which will take ages.
once again thank you guys for the help. i think i will just proceed with the order from k-tec. or you guys have any other recommended seller to buy from which is willing to do oversea sales?
so far i am going to get all these item listed down here, just got the car and it is about 8000miles, but belt havent been change so i am thinking of changing both the alternator and cambelt. what u guys suggest that i should change as well, am also intending to change all fluid.

Hi James,
Ok i think i might order one or two pcs of the ignition coil. But the previous owner told me that he replace all 6 of them long ago. dont know is it true or not.
As usual, thank you so much for your help. really appreciate it. You guys are the best and really helpful.
and also for the alternator belt, do i need to get the full kit or just get the belt is enough? please advice thanks
