Exactly, always the rear right brake caliper that causes engine or belt failure....

100% - Same with all this Renault stuff When I hear use a specialist - I think well i'm special.... When I hear use genuine locking tools - I think a coat hanger and some mole grips will be fine Pedaling and scaremongering at it's finest these days. Unreal

So the work begins on the 172 Jean Ragnotti.... Suspension is HKS coilovers on the front and on the rear Aragosta shocks with Swift springs - Interesting combo! I was going to do the belts on the car but on closer inspection they look mint so should be good for another 5 years maybe 10

Correct! That is my old Exclusive and had some exchanges with Edwin about the car and his plans. It has been very cool to see the car again and being brought back to life and shown some love. And, yes it still has my CS sticker!

@Yeti_runner I'm based in Calgary Alberta and do travel to Houston semi frequently and have some Renaults (Clio / Megane etc.) I have Renault cam locking tools for cambelt changes etc. so let me know if you are ever in need. I also have a bunch of parts stock piled and can assist with...

The next French nugget that is on it's way to Canada. It's an RS Clio 172 Jean Ragnotti Edition - Basically a 172 Cup but LHD about 300 were sold in Europe and 30 in Japan this is Number 25 of 30. Has 50,000 miles on the clock and in lovely shape.

The new daily - 2010 X-Trail GT (2.0 Turbo Diesel) 6-Speed Manual - 41,000miles (66,000 km on the clock)

So after 7.5 years of ownership and 7,000km added to the old girl - It is overdue a cambelt, so that is one of my winter maintenance activities. Hopeful to chip away at it over a few weeks and should have the locking tools arriving in a week or so. Have some other items to address like a...

Renolink is a little more intuitive than the CLIP software and doesn't limit you on operating system etc.

Didn't even think of it that way! Normal service will resume shortly!

Under Clio III / UPC(EMM) / USM Diag Rev 2.1 (X77,X85) I had a much more limited menu compared to your Kangoo one unfortunately. The image below I'm not connected to the car but shows what I have under UPC.

I've tired ddt4all it's a minefield of French words - but I'll give it another go! Appreciate the help.

These are the my ECU "types" when performing the full scan to find the .xml files that relate to my cars info. I've been through all of these and have not found anything to do with clutch depress to start or similar. With the Renolink software do you have to open an .xml file or is there some...
