Cheers buddy! I have no idea what that link even directs me towards for the sensor ? I’m assuming it’s a broken sensor that’s been taped up then..? Seen as it’s still a Renault part.

Another little update: The battery and STOP light has been flickering over bumpy roads.. A quick look and it seems the battery wasn’t even clamped down or tight, luckily the clamp was still there. On investigation though, there’s a plug that’s been taped up and a vaccume pipe of some sort...

How much was the belt change? :) Need mine doing.

Cheers for the information buddy :D I am tempted to give the cambelt a go myself, I keep putting it off for a garage to do. I do have a week off work soon, so I might have to dig out the tools and CS guidance lol ? it’s the only thing I’ve really stayed away from doing, cambelts always get me...

Cheers buddy! The plan is to get ontop of maintenance and I’ll do more digging into the performance side of things. Should be a little hoot with a bit more power!

I’ve got a soft spot for this shape

It’s not a thoroughbred Clio, if it doesn’t do this.. lol

Thanks for the info buddy! I may be in touch if the wiring is there then! :) Do you mean the square panel where the light adjustment is? @td_dan

@Filters ive just found this thread. :)

A little Saturday night thought, Can anyone tell me how easy/hard/don’t bother it is to retro fit cruise control? That’s the only thing that’s really bugging me not having. What’s needed to make it work?

Good progress buddy ? Mine gets a bit puffy after 3,000rpm full throttle, so I’m going to have a look at my EGR to see if it’s blocked too.

I can’t help you with the video sorry, I’m not very good with that stuff. But the key issue almost sounds like the barrel is worn or something? Is there any damage around the barrel area?

The starting issue is no longer an issue ? @Austin-182 Started first turn! -2 degrees.

Cheers buddy! It’s not a bad one at all! Cheap and cheerful! I think that will be done down the line, once these injectors start playing up, I’ll just upgrade them. The plan is to get ontop of the maintenance first, I still need the cambelt done. Then I’ll start on fun bits.

I’m going to try it later tonight, out of curiosity - once it’s been sat for a good few hours.

There’s plenty of aftermarket parts available for them and other brands. I wouldn’t worry about main dealer stuff. 99% of the time main dealer stuff is just boxed Delphi stuff

Just a little update, Finally got around to changing the glow plugs! I didn’t have a tool in my Halfords tool box that would reach over the glow plug, so I have bought a 10mm long reach halford socket and it’s done the trick. The job took less than 10 minutes and it was a doddle with the...

Edit: just seen your next update.

Vmaxx, as above

That’s awesome! That gives you £400 to spend on it, if need be. Brilliant buy!

Awesome! Glad you’ve found one! Price? Mileage!? ?

It’s nothing to worry about if the ABS light isn’t on and not fighting your foot back. It’s just the ABS self check IME.

I assume your talking about the ABS self check? No ABS light on the dash etc? Just a few ABS noises when you first set off? And if you go over speed bumps a little too quick? Is it affecting your peddle at all? Fighting your foot back?

That will cause a problem IMO. No idea why you’d buy used drums, why didn’t you get the new bearing pressed into your own drum? It’s a 5 minute job to take off/refit.

This must be up there with untimate cars to own. It ticks every box for a petrolhead IMO, as long term car.

Just jam something under the bonnet lever in the passenger seat, in the full open position. Then go to the bonnet and try and open it then. Happened to me. Edit: I found a de-icer bottle was big enough to hold the level all the way open, while I went around to the bonnet.

Ahhhh gutted for you! Sounded promising too! Front spring snapped and fell out of mine this morning ?

That’s fine. It’s a genuine, complete kit

Sounds tidy! Sunroof or no sunroof?

Cheers Roger, I’m going to try the glow plugs first, as I think they’re still the originals. I think it’s them, as the car doesn’t rough idle or anything to suggest injectors.
