Checked all fuses in the engine bay, and fuse box inside car and all look fine. Have even swapped them out to see if anything changes but no luck. Is there any way I can check the relays, remove them and replace? I can't see how I can get the UCH out to do this!? Can the Renault CLIP actually...

Bump. Would really appreciate any guidance! thanks.

Been away on holiday so not had much chance to work on it but still having issues with the car. I can get it to start every now and again, I think the problem lies with the UCH/Relays. Once the car is started, still can't operate the windows, or indicators. WHen I rev the engine, getting loads...

Hi guys, I'm having a problem where my 172 cup won't start up at all. It's had a new battery recently and I don't think it's a starter motor issue as there's no sound of the car trying to start when turning the ignition. I'm hoping there may be an easy to way to identify the problem based on...

haha sweet. The car is pretty low so I may need to raise it just to get under to be honest. I'm guessing the best way would be jack it up on the rear beam (is this ok as I've seen people say it's a no no before?), then put axle stands on sills and keep jack holding the weight of the beam so...

excellent, thanks for the help guys. Do these need to be torqued up or can I just tighten them f**kin tight lol?

Yeah I've had a quick look underneath and they are both leaking :( Gonna order a pair and try to fit next weekend. Is it an easy job?

Hi guys, got an issue with the rear suspension on my 172 cup. Basically whenever I go over speed bumps or any other bump in the road, the front goes over fine and the damping works as it should, then the rear seems to just crash over and thud back down. Is there any easy ways to diagnose what...

Hi all, I need a replacement turini alloy for my 172 cup and just wondered if these are still available to buy new individually, and also what I should expect to pay for a second hand one? Thanks, Ross

Sweet, thanks guys. What size is the smaller clip out of interest? And how much grease shoiuld I be packing in?

Hi guys, Car was in with Renault today for a free check and one of the things they mentioned was that the CV Boot clip was broken. Have quoted nearly £110 to fix it :p Obviously I'm not gonna pay £110 for a new clip and some grease so looking to do it myself. What size clips will I need and...

Hi guys, Are there any renault diamond centre caps that fit the aftermarket speedline corse turinis? My clio has 2 standard renault turinis, and 2 aftermarket speedlines that still have the speedline centre caps which look odd compared the other 2! From what I can see the standard renault...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I changed the spark plugs for new NGK ones as these were getting old anyway, and also swapped the ht leads and coil pack for a second hand set I had but still no joy. Regarding the injectors, what's the best way of testing these? If the engine is running do...

it was white so I think just steam. I checked the spark plugs and noticed all were fine and no water or debris in the cylinders. The spark plug nearest the oil filler cap did seem to have a lot of black carbon deposits on. Any ideas what this could indicate?

it only flashes sometimes, most of the time it's solid. I'm based in Essex so may take it down to a garage for diagnostics, unless I could use one of the handheld codereaders to get the same result if it's just gonna be a generic error code?
