I have a Clio 2003 1.5Dci that has done 78000miles. I know the cam belt needs to be changed so I have got the cambelt, tensioner and bolts and a replacement fan belt as renault advise.

I have done cam belts before but never on a renault. Does anyone have a feel for how difficult it is on this model and low long does it take.

Also if you've got any handy tips from experience of changing one?

Hi there i am curious to see if you had any success of changing cambelt and how did you do it as I know it a tight space for changing since i have the 53 reg 1.5dci clio too and it needing a change too. please reply to my email on g_stewart333@hotmail.com

It's better if he answers here. It's kind of the whole point of a forum.

It should be changed every 72K, and takes about 2 hours when you have done a few before. It helps to have the crank and cam locking pins (but not essential if you mark it up well) The room is good compared to some Renaults (Laguna 2.2)
