williams-ant said: I did, first thing I did. As above though, one of the new injectors that I fitted turned out to be faulty! [/QUOTE nice one wish it was that easy for mine ..... checked new and old injectors ... all showing 15+/-0.5 ohms

I'm thinking the same ..... Is a Renault agent the best place (Renault tools) or a specialist tuning garage ??

@ Williams-ant sounds like we're in the same boat ..... and sinking without a paddle :(

@ William84 OK something new to look at :) wiring is mostly heavily protected under plastic conduit ..... nothing obvious but I will look again more closely crankshaft sensor... hmmm well it starts first time every time and runs very well ...... so seems a very very long shot to me ... but again...

@ Bashracing ....... "old parts cannon" = ???

@ Daz yes ... I have checked and swapped around the plugs (fairly new) several times !?!?

@ Bashracing ....... I have checked the compression it's 180/195/180/180 for 1,2,3,4 ..... tested with all plugs out running engine on starter motor until the gauge maxes out I have checked and swapped around the plugs (fairly new) I have changed the coil for new I have changed the HT leads for...

Done it .... yeaahhh ... with a pipe spanner :) swapped over the two O2 sensors and no change ... still misfire cylinder 1 :( :(

Thanks for the tips ..... but my 22mm spanner is not slipping off ..... it's just not budging anything either .... being limited to garage floor with axle stands means is't impossible to get anything longer than 50cm on them ...... I'll try the wire brush and leaving the wd40 to soak overnight...

Back on it again this weekend ...... so ... 1. Disconnected two sensors on the front of the engine see photo ..... I assume the one top right (red/white leads) is the knock sensor with very awkward cable connector and the other left of oil filter with only one lead is ???? and I did not touch...

No ... are they likely to give a missfire warning ??? where is the knock sensor ??

Hi sounds like you are having the same problem as me on my 182 - Loads of comments saying change the injectors, which does seem to work in many cases ... but not for me .... 4 new injectors, 4 new HT leads, new coil and still the OBD reports missfire on cylinder 1 ... which is the gearbox end...
