Dayco list one for 748/916/996. 94817. Several different Renault Clio 16v references, none of them that. Though the Clio 1.2i 16v is 94910. So, personally, I wouldn't risk it, unless Megadyne/Isoran do one that is "near enough". "Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in the reality" 1957 175 Sport

The cam belt saga
Checking through receipts that came with my Nordwest the previous owner, anybody know Mr Foxall of Evesham? Bought a timing belt from Fowlers on 19 January, again on 2nd June 2008 from Bob Wright and again from Fowlers on 23 July 2008.
This is where I caught a severe dose of 72degrees brain fart, a nasty virus affecting computer users
And due to the virus, plus my advanced years and dotage got confused, well that’s the best excuse I can come up with for now.
Anyway I rummaged in the bike house last night, the things you have to do for GeN, and dug out the belt I removed last year from my Nordie,
It is the Megadyne Isoran jobby with a number (not too clear) 321406/2 apart from the print being barely legible it looks to be in a good condition after 2 years but not used according to the MOT’s
I will remove the cover over the weekend just to confirm what Bob sold to me and let you know.

The third (actual ones) are Dayco 94795. I just have one left which is about 4 years old. Maybe i do not use it. No need, because there are 2 from Gotttfried on the way. ciao Joachim

I've emailed them to confirm they no longer do a suitable belt. "Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in the reality" 1957 175 Sport

I used the time more wisely, resealed the rear brake caliper which was sticking on,after I wissed of the side and cam cover to confirm I have a Dayco belt in there. I think thats the end of the belt saga
