Who can supply my bottom end bearing/shells? RPD?

[Brett]

Myself and Blake have had a very busy day today sorting out our new engine room. While we were at it we took a look at what big end main bearings my engine needs. Combining both the 4 digit code on the block and 4 digit code on the new crank, it turns out I need two types of shell. Three pairs of C3 Yellows and one pair of C2 Blues. Obviously these are not common parts to be bought as it seems our trusty v6 is very reliable and rarely gets rebuilt to this point. Does anyone know if RPD or even Renault parts stock them?
If they don't, it seems I'll need to line bore my block, regrind my crank and get shells made to size which I would much rather avoid.
Secondly, does anyone know where the nearest parts department is to Northampton?

Thanks guys.

Worth a try, they carry huge numbers and most are oem

So I needed 3 pairs of sheel bearings at 65.994mm and 1 at 66.010mm. Renault being renault no longer make or stock the ones I need. Luckily they have stock of smaller 65.978mm ones so it looks like the crankshaft will need polishing to size! £250 quid later the turbo build now only needs a few nuts and bolts.
