Not heard any whining before, but it makes sense that its the PAS. Almost silent when car is moving but noisy when stationary, and worse when I moved the wheel.
There was no pressure in the pump when he checked, but the second hand one he had leaked. So he's been looking for a recon today, if...
Power steering pump has packed up !!!! Say's its the first time he's known one brake ? £198 for a new one, but he managed to find a second hand one for £40.
This is a strange one to describe so please bare with me, I had my cambelt, dephaser, etc done 2 weeks ago. But yesterday I noticed a 'tappetty' noise coming from the belts area ? But the noise gets worse when I move the steering wheel. I will try and video it tomorrow, but not sure how to put...
FINALLY !!!!!
Took it into SRS yesterday and got Cambelt, Alternater belt, Dephaser all replaced. And had new discs and pads all round (3 were seized apparently) and there wasn't any spring clips on the rears ?
Got some 25mm spacers yesterday (probably to big, but got them for reasonable price)...
I've bought some seatbelts for my car from a reputable dealer, second hand but in full working condition. I was going to clean them today before fitting but they wont extend ?
Is there something I'm missing or not doing ? None of the 5 belts will pull out, all just lock ?
There's a decent Renault specialist in Nuneaton, and as for re-mapping I'd say go down the RS Tuner route first. It's an easy option and really does make a difference

Next was a simple one:
Alloy battery cover, easy job which makes...
My idle on start up used range 750 to 1500 until it warmed up, and when I drove it with a cold engine it was very jerky. This morning it idled smoothly from start up and drove very smoothly straight away. I do miss the kick at 5k though, although I'm sure it wasn't good for the engine.
In one word, amazing. I know everyone says how good this is, but I was always sceptical. But I did my 172 yesterday and the results are, as I said, amazing.
It was easy to do, the only problems I had were because I was rushing to do it and not giving other people enough time, Henk etc. But it...
Thanks for the help everybody, @charltjr @james24785 @dalemalley
All done and dusted, car is running sweet, no hesitation and pulls beautifully. Will take it for a proper run tomorrow to double check everything.
Is there any point keeping the RSTuner or just pass it on to the next person ?
