Right - I've got the head off and there are two bent valves (1995 Clio
1.4 E-type engine),Bloody Renault only sell the valves in packs of four, and since I've got one inlet and out exhaust bent I need both sets - nearly £250 with VAT.
So - anyone know where I can buy valves individually?

GSF & Eurocarparts are the usual suspects, although if Ivor Searle haven't got them you're probably out of luck or looking for scrap head. As Lyndale rebuilt the last one I remember dieing for only a bit more than that they're presumably out there.
Good grief - what rare metal are they made of?

A decent motor factor, or engine recon Co. Mike.
Sodium filled Nimonic? Mike.

My car has sodium fill exhaust valves, 50quid each...not nice. The 2.5 V6 engine has normal valves, the 3.0 sodium filled, so if you see a cheap 3.0 with a snaped belt it will cost you :-)

The message from "Dave Plowman (News)" contains these words:
One I shan't be buying. I've ordered both valves, a head set, some stretch-bolts and a new belt for considerably under £100 inc VAT from somewhere that wants my money rather than somewhere that wants to gouge customers.
I fancy a stiff snotty letter to Renault, too.
Stellite tipped?
Are there self-help groups available for that sort of thing?
cheers, clvie
The message from "Clive George" contains these words:
Stiff snot? Dunno - ask one of the Royalist groups.
