Thanks for all your help so far everyone. I'll swap over the starter relay and see if that fixes anything. If that doesn't work then I'll run a full diagnostic on the car and see if any error codes are present.

Update: I tried a new spade connector on the starter signal wire, and it hasn't made any difference. 4 out of 5 starts are perfect, but then all of a sudden, the old problem is back. When I turn the key, and I just hear a loud click, and then nothing. If I try again, I may here the click a few...

Good idea. That spade terminal tested ok with a multimeter, but it costs nothing to replace so I'll do that tomorrow.

Hi everyone, a very old member signing back in for some help (sold my 172 Cup in 2005). My Mrs has a Clio and it's developed a strange starter motor issue. You turn the key and I just hear a click, but no starter motor sound follows. After 3 or 4 goes, it starts normally and everything is fine...

Whoops - ignore that, I've re-read your post where you have already stated it's an ITG LOL!

Looks fantastic - which induction kit is that? BMC?

Yeah but you know what people are like. The landlord obviously wasn't happy, so I didn't want to rub more salt in the wound by doing it one last time, only for him to evict every other car from the carpark too, spoiling every ones fun. So that's why I opted for the granny drive by instead...

Hi all, I really enjoyed the meet. Although I sold my 172 Cup a few years ago, I still have a huge soft spot for Clio Sports and probably always will. I was just going to jump in my brother's Trophy, but decided I'd take the Evo instead as it was such a beautiful day. I hope no one...

Must just be the imobilisor code. I sent him a PM saying that the new ECUs have a blank code in them and the first time they are started the code from the key is written to the ECU. From this point they are paired.

Hi Rob, Im very sorry to hear what has happened, but at the same time I am happy to hear that you are not hurt in any way. Things could have been much worse. The damage looks significant, and as you say, will it ever be the same again??? Perhaps its better to move on. P.S. Thanks for the...

I was there with the MLR too. Was in a Silver Evo VI. Where you in the convoy on the way there? My pics: http://www.ljf-design.com/cars/bolney2005/http://www.ljf-design.com/cars/bolney2005/

xx CUP numberplate. Had a ClioSport sticker.

There is a space to the left of the head unit near the front. You can tuck loads down there. It points towards the glove compartment. Cant help with the alarm though!

Youve done no damage at all. Get some sleep. As long as you dont do it a few times a day there is no harm in clipping the limiter. Also, 172s are good for 8k revs and the standard ECU only lets you rev to 7250 IIRC so you would be nowhere near the engines limit.

Im not sure I understand the question. Blipping when? downshifting: yes, starting: no.
