finbar said:Car misfiring , spluttering told timing chain needs to be replaced,(Nissan garage)
anyone any similar probs.01 almera 1.5 52,000 miles.
Is it not possible to do an adjustment to the chain ?
Told alot of things have to be stripped out to get to the chain
approx 5 hours labour, as unlike a timing belt a chain is not
normally replaced unless giving trouble.
600 euro + vat for the job parts and labour not cheap.
Can anyone tell me what is the price for a normal timing BELT
parts and labour on most cars.
Thanks

Thanks in advance
something to do with renault parts being less than reliable, i think.
Anyway i thought chains were supposed to last longer than belts.
so cud do with advice on whether this is widespread in almeras before i buy.
is this problem widespread with almeras?
is there any point buying one if u'll be constantly worrying about timing chain going.
what other damage is caused by the timing chain going. was seriously considering buying a 02 hb almera till i saw this thread.
would people advise me agianst buying one?
