    clip 1.2 16v miss fire. smoking. flashing eml

    Need to scope the injector and coil trigger but I suspect wiring fault within the top loom section. Buy a new one from Renault if so, around £180

    Gripper or Quaife

    As above (although the Quaife isn't exactly s**t in a race car either). The main thing you have to remember is that a Gripper is going to need maintenance which means removal of the gearbox and money! The Gripper also requires a specific grade oil where the Quaife is fit and forget, nor does it...

    Accelation loss after altenator change

    You should be able to hear boost leaking yes but these cars aren't boost monsters and being "French", the odd whine is considered normal so may go un-noticed. Just don't let them fob you off in to paying for something that they've obviously done. I did it myself on a 3.0 Diesel Espace last week...

    Accelation loss after altenator change

    Car went in fine but needing an alternator. Car came out after replacement of the alternator but slow... See a connection yet? Send it back, it is not your injectors.

    Accelation loss after altenator change

    OR... whoever fitted the alternator has possibly refitted a boost pipe incorrectly or forgotten to connect something back up again. Go have a look

    Doing the timing belt myself on 182?

    The later manuals for the same engine has now removed that option all together as it was s**t, it never worked and just injected further confusion in to doing the job. OP - It's a straight forwards enough job providing you appreciate what it is you're doing and most importantly of all, that you...

    cambelt problems (local garages)

    Not special but they can be tricky if you've never done one before. The biggest risk on these is damaging the fuel lines/ connections to the HP fuel pump or contamination in to the fuel system.

    Renault clio 182 OMP steering wheel fitted now have airbag and service lights on?

    Yeah, these days the car would be written off rather than repair and replace components and trim panels. I don't know anyone that has actually replaced an SRS Controller after a deployment. The price of them is ridiculous when £35 can have the CCD removed, effectively resetting the unit.

    Renault clio 182 OMP steering wheel fitted now have airbag and service lights on?

    If the airbag is being deployed though that means a trigger line have been "fired" so the ECU will need service/replacement anyway, irregardless of a fuse being inline or not.

    Clutch slipping above 3k revs

    LUK do make a range of OE units, including the one on the RS Megane but do not confuse these items with LUK RepSet kits... Utter shite! On a 172/182 that is running NA power of 200hp or less, Valeo is the general unit of choice giving great performance and life span. Yes, you do get the odd one...

    Feature or broken?

    It's a REALLY annoying feature on the Clio III called "Selective opening of doors" where only the drivers door will unlock with a single press of the remote key fob. When you have kids, it is the most annoying thing in the world but thankfully it can be removed with CLIP.

    Star Wars Battlefront

    Maybe it's because i'm old and I don't leave my console on all the time in standby mode, allowing it to aut-update/gobble up data and power when i'm asleep... ... so, to summarise: Old b*****d (Ginger to) Grumpy (See also "Ginger") Tight fisted with his money (Won't pay for unlimited Fibre)...

    Lack of power, checked almost everything

    This guy has admitted the vehicle has binding brakes which won't help either but timing is deffo the most likely candidate... As everyone kinda knows with these cars.

    Star Wars Battlefront

    This is why I rarely buy games anymore. I miss the old days where you purchased a game to just play it. I'm not anti-online/multiplayer but every time I turn the PS4 on it seems to need another 2Gb update and then the game you want to play also has a patch (another 1.1Gb)... My eyes roll back...

    Lack of power, checked almost everything

    In most cases, It's always timing

    Lack of power, checked almost everything

    It depends on your ability and if you have/are willing to buy the timing tools which will enable you to do the job. I'd recommend you take the car to someone that actually knows what they're doing though as it'll give you piece of mind.

    toyosport 197 fitment issues

    They're s**t, don't fit them... I refuse to now. Buy the KTR unit or have your original repaired and the engine mounts replaced/upgraded.

    Valeo make it for RUK so it's the same as the OE part but not at £274. The Nissen unit is okay to but they can be hit and miss on the mountings
