What size is this bolt?

Anybody have 5 mins they could pull their bolt out and measure it?
The bolt I have is M10 x 70, the wife's 200 is M10 x 50 but I remember Mick saying the bolt was missing when he did the cambelt and he found one to fit.
I put a bore scope down the hole and the 70mm bolt won't hit anything I can see, so I think it's the correct one, but it just seems really long?!?!
Thanks

Your problem is if you have used the wrong bolt somewhere it could be too long and be touching something internally or crack the bottom of a casting hole. The bolts have critical strength ratings so any old bolt will not do the job when the Clio 3 came out I remember in the local dealers cars came in with the top torque bolt broken and the engine trashing around and the associated damage to pipework radiators and looms. The Renault part system normally shows the bolt sizes but not for these the two circled bolts have the same part number.
I kept the bolts for the engine mounts together, so I'm pretty certain it's the correct one as I couldn't see a shorter bolt.
I also looked at the parts list and it didn't help either!
I'm pretty sure it's the correct bolt, but I don't understand why they fitted a 70mm bolts when it could have been 50mm long.
There is plenty of clearance for the bolt.
I could do with somebody taking their bolt out and measuring it!
