Replaced the injectors. Car's working fine; I think one or two were just partially blocked, all the impedances were OK.

Also do these look legit or do you guys think they're too big of a risk? https://cars245.co.uk/item/magneti-marelli-805001446001-injector-valve/

That makes sense. I'm curious what the difference is, in practical terms, but not enough to risk putting them on my car! Cool, cheers! Is there anything else it might be, while I'm at it?

Right, so my Clio 172 Cup cut out a few times today. Every time it did, it was at idle and the engine was warmed up to operating temperature; it would drop to a very low idle (noticeably less than 1k rpm) and then cut out. It didn't do it while the engine was cold or while I was so much as...

Thinking about it. Not sure yet though.

I asked more or less this question on the CS facebook group and got this answer: The first number is the light fitting, the second is for a crankshaft TDC sensor connector that looks- to me anyway- like it's basically the exact same part as the connector for the number plate illuminator except...

Fair enough. Will make enquiries, see what I can find.

I can get the light fitting from RPD or Euro Car Parts easy enough but the connector at the loom end is bright green with corrosion and I'm basically getting no connectivity through it so the fitting alone isn't enough :/ I have checked the voltage at the back of the connector and there is...

As an update: I found the airbag ECU from the parts car, fitted it and everything worked perfectly :) Then took it for the MOT and it turns out a couple of my lights were broken :( The front side light & brake light were easy enough to fix but the number plate illuminator I've tried...

Yeah, my parts car was another Cup. Was written off by a much lighter impact in 2016 when they were worth a lot less; last time it ran the dash was clear so I assume the airbag ECU should be OK.

Thanks for the quick response guys! So, to clarify: The airbag controller ("airbag ECU") is a separate unit, it seems like? And not hard coded to the UCH/ECU? And it sits under the centre console- sounds like it's next to where the OBD2 port is? If so, that's not too hard to get to. I had a...

Right, so, did a quick keyword search and didn't find what I was after. It could be that my search-fu is weak, but that being what it is I figured I'd go ahead and ask: I have a Clio 172 Cup. Had a crash a year and a half ago. The pretensioners on the driver's side fired, and when I plug my...

Nahh, gen 1 Celeron :P

I know how to do formatting, and my Clio is a 172 Cup.

Based in Chatham. Good question on the second. Not sure.
