I was wondering if anyone could give me some further advice.... With the help of a mate we have got the car running and I was at the stage where I was going to replace the injectors but now I can get it to start! The immobiliser light extinguishes when the key is turned but then all I get is a...

Cheers that's good advice, it's got fairly new plugs and leads so I'll give it some tlc and see how we go.

Thanks, I have scanned for codes and there are none showing. The EML is off now and the horrible fuel stink has also gone away so other than the lumpy idle and a blowy exhaust it's running pretty well. Cheers

Hi all, I know it's been a while but the car is now running again, it seems to rev up ok but has a really lumpy idle (It's always been a bit lumpy but it seems worse now) could this be caused by dodgy injectors or something else? The good news is that the compression test was ok so we are now...

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the reply, the car is a little way off being able to start but I'll get onto it. That is the injector from the cylinder with the blackened plug. I'm a bit concerned that the new injector has already got a low reading, what do you think could be causing this? Cheers

I've got 10.2 on 1 and 15.1 on 2,3 and 4. The injector in cyl. 1 is a new one, it was replaced after the misfire problems began....

Great cheers I'll look into it. Thanks for the advice

Would that explain the blackened plug, rough idle and unburnt fuel stink too? The EML light was alternating between flashing, solid and off.

When the misfire started I had a flashing EML which went solid. From memory he changed the coil pack which seemed to briefly cure the problem and extinguish the EML but it came back. I'll speak to him later to find out more regarding what he checked. When I removed and checked the plugs, the...

He said it could be an air leak on the inlet valve if I remember correctly.

Hi all, I've had some sound advice in the past from people on this forum, so here goes with another question or two... My 2002 clio 172 cup which I have owned from new had a timing belt slip at 140k causing damage to the head which after a lot of deliberating I had repaired. I had a couple of...

Thanks Mike Should save me a few quid.... Ian

Hi all, Since I had some good advice last time I posted I thought I would ask another question! I have inherited a set of front discs and pads with little use from a mates 182 Clio. My question is will I be able to use them on my 172 cup? I think there may be an issue with ABS as the 182 has...
