How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Renault Clio

Model: Renault Clio MK 2, Clio 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Timing belt

Open and lift the bonnet. You need to mark the position of the tensioner for the belt so you can return it to the same position during reassembly. Once you have unscrewed the bolt, you will have easy access to the belt, which, once loosened, will allow you to remove it. Before reassembling the belt, check that they are of the same length. Once done, slide the belt into the correct position and return the alternator to its marked position, then tighten the bolt you previously unscrewed to secure the tensioner in its correct position.

How to Remove the Gear Knob on an Opel Astra

How to replace the gear knob on an Opel Astra? Follow these steps: use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather gaiter frame (if you need to replace it). Grip the knob with both hands and pull it upwards (with a strong and decisive motion) until it comes off the gear stick. For installation: fit the new gaiter and position it on the centre tunnel, take the new knob and push it onto the stick, tightening it until fully threaded. Test the movement of the stick on the centre tunnel to ensure the knob is correctly fitted.
