Sunroof has been leaking on my RSI, i had removed it, ran a nice tidy bead of sealant where the original seal was, didn't work so I've choose to just keep it out the rain for now :ROFLMAO:
But now the one has started leaking on my daily smoker, this was not getting messed about with, full...
if the battery is confirmed good and no earth issues its likely the motor at fault, as above the rack has its own control module so get the codes read.
EDIT: that above is assuming its a mk3 Clio which a 2008 could be either a mk2 or a mk3, if its a mk2 its likely the motor on its way out!
yeah so the issue I came across was, after dropping off a pupil my mum was jumping over to the drivers seat as she's tiny, just must have caught the stalk and flicked it onto full beam, not noticing as it was day time, get back to the house, into the driveway, stop, handbrake on, stop start...
yeah they are definitely done! mine weren't even like that, I did fully fix my steering issues in the end, I had put a new rack on it but didn't know the rack needed calibrated!!! that transformed it and its been like a new car since
Must depend on the uch software, start engine, once the stop start stops the engine with headlights off, flick the stalk to full beam and open door, doesn't chime. I only found out about it after 2 flat batteries on my old dears motor!
I am fed up chasing perfect green type D coolant on all my cars, this has sealed it! I'm moving over to cheap trade red now! cheap as chips in 25 litres!
remove the top engine stabiliser and see if it disappears (you will have a bit more engine movement, but its still fully secure) I've had so many knocks and bangs come from this even when it looks new and doesn't appear to have any excess play.
the mk3 isn't a bad car to do a clutch on as you get plenty access when everything's off - the dci 106 6 speed is a fairly big box which makes doing it on your own on the deck a bit of a s**t job!
For me, just use a recommended well regarded garage if your worried, ask them for a good quality...
My ph1 was difference in the sense that I fitted a new engine, gearbox and ECU (to match the engine) and it just fired straight up on the original UCH/key - That is not what the internet told me would happen, I advised someone else doing an engine conversion and they had the same result!
my 1.2 Sport had orange stuff in it when i got it, i flushed it all out, new water pump, expansion bottle, new radiator, flushed out the matrix etc, filled it with fresh type D, few heat cylces later its got an orange tinge to it, drained it all again, flushed it all again, another 5l of fresh...
If, going by Mick's advice above, I can't see that being an issue as n3 were for high spec cars, which a 1.2 8v won't be so it should be fine.
However a 2000 will be a ph1 car? Is that what your replacements are from?
I'm not sure if it was just a production issue or if it is being phased out, it was back order last time I tried to get some from Arnold Clark, seems to be back though!
@aldo_87 got febi bilstein stuff that was the correct colour
I dont like a website using a .co.uk domain when they are in the Republic, so i just sent my personal details via email to someone.... okkkay
For anyone worried, Fancyplates has been the go to place for plates for the last 21 years on here!
Fresh battery, fit a jump lead from the neg Terminal to a good bit of chassis metal to create a new earth and rule out the gearbox earth strap and go from there
The same 4wd system was used in the scenic with an f4r, albeit the 138hp version, so the engine should bolt to it with little issue.
However it's a weak system and If your going to all the hassle of fitting the rear subframe to the Clio which won't be easy, you may as well use something better...
