Thanks again.
That is another thing , the gasket .. Renault used the volvo 4 and 5 cylinder engine in some of their cars as their own own engines would not pass the emission tests , anyway they bought the bare engines from Volvo and used their own black gaskets for water pump etc , these were forever leaking after wards , whilst the green volvo gaskets lasted indefinitely . best not spoil the job ...
