I did mine last week took about 3hrs including an oil change. Just remember to lock off the flywheel when undoing the crankshaft pulley.

Drivers side front of engine bay. Look at this site for a more detailed explanation, http://www.donkennedy.co.uk/Clio/Clio.htm

Was the diagnostic machine a CLiP or a generic OBDII? CLiP can pick up on things OBD wont. Best to get a proper diag done rather than tossing money at the car

This is normal for the D4F engine. The filler neck is a kak design allowing condensation to build up.

Coolant Temp Seensor can cause rough running issues and the cutting out could be a gash throttle body, the starting probs could be TDC Sensor. Best thing is a diagnostics, as its all speculation at this point.

Just wondering if one of the technically minded members wouldnt mind casting their eyes over the Live Data Grid posted below. This was taken at the end of my journey hoe from work, the scanner was running the whole way home (20 odd miles of stop start driving in medium traffic). Looking at it...

My car failed its MOT on the emissions test today. The tester said to get the misfire sorted, I have already changed the plugs, coil, CTS, and front Lambda. Im at a complete loss now, should I bother with a compresion test or just get some new injectors?

Bad earth somewhere. Check all wiring and make sure no sheathing is stripped.

KTec offer a map for the 1.2 16v. Apparently it's a decent one too. Not Ferrari fast by any means but worth it.

Is there anyone in the Dartford Southeast London Area with Clip or RSTuner? I have just fitted the resistors in the wiring for the airbag but the SERV light is still on. I have had the clocks out and it looks like the previous owner has broken the Airbag LED, so I'm not sure if the light has...
