up to 1998 its 5.5 hours,98-2000 is 3.6 hours (assuming you have air tools and a 2 poster ramp),knowing the french it will be character building

with a car coming the other way, and later at a roundabout, i put my foot on the accelerator, and there was no power...

My mate is a very good spanner man even though he now works in truck testing for VOSA... anyway, he and I both have 1.9 diesels and his clutch started
leaking a few months back. He wasn't 100% it was the clutch but figured it was one of the only things it could be so proceeded to take the thing
apart to investigate/fix. The words he used to describe the process aren't for the weak and certainly not for small children under the age of
21!
A cucking funt would be an understatement! When I went over to see how he was getting on most of the front of the car was missing! When Conrod quotes
those hourly figures, remember they are for Renault day-in day-out boys with all the right tools. On the drive in the rain expect a good days worth at
least with lots of swearing about how annoying the French are... most probably not even designed by the French but blame them anyway!
After he'd finished his he said to me "if you're clutch ever need doing you can f*** off to a dealer!" and he's my best
mate who'd do anything for me! 
Of course don't let all that put you off... it's all experience.

luckily i wont be in the rain on the drive i have a unit with loads of space if i pull one of the cars out unluckily no 2 poster ramps, the experience
will be good im sure.
before i go to mass extremes do you guys think i should try the cable first possibly stretched to extreme or am i clutching at straws (punn
intended)
