Hi all,
Since I have owned the car I have had intermittent problems with 'Drivers Front Seat Position Sensor', for it's first MOT, I think the light was having a day 'off', the last MOT i put tape over the light....since then I have since removed the passenger airbag and used resistors to clear...
Yes @adamlstr I've almost had it two years, I don't know where the time has gone! I'm ashamed to say since its MOT, which is up in 2 months, it's done just over 100 miles! I've not had the time!
Yep, light will go out, if my mate gets a minute, he'll plug it into his computer for me, but it...
Oh great, and half the price and stocked on the shelf than my local Renault dealers! Perfect!
Hi Adam, I suddenly experienced running problems with it as described at the start of my thread, I didn't have time to sort it before going away for work again. The old man changed parts over for me to...
@JamesBryan @Amos91 Yeah, it was an ECP Magneti Marelli and has done the trip, it was a blast driving it back home.
I've not had a chance to touch it for 9mths since I pushed it into the garage with its initial problems! My old man has changed all the parts for me and I was looking forward to...
I had the fuel line disconnected, so should achieve the same results.
I picked up an injector from a well known European car part distributors... not an ideal replacement but they were the only ones who had one on the shelf.

I thought extra fuel in the barrel will increase compression, so this would lead to this higher compression test result.
I'll replace injector and go from there.
Cheers.
Thanks @JamesBryan i followed your advice, I should have also done that but wasn't thinking straight.
No2 injector made no difference to the running, so this may be the offending item.
As I was halfway there I pulled off the plugs, No2 plug was black. I did a compression test, cylinder 1, 3...
Morning all,
So after a bit of advice, or more likely confirmation of what I suspect....
Clio 172 Cup, sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders, it wanted to stall and really struggled between 2-3000 rpm, then would pick up and go.
I had the injectors cleaned on one of the group buy threads, I...
I 'live' in Folkestone, so one more for the Kent and Folkestone numbers! Have a stripped out 172 Cup. I do however spend most of my time overseas for work, and about a month ago I knackered my engine and it's been pushed into the garage to be forgotten about until another day!!
