Epic.....just epic!!

Some pics to help: These were all taken today. I have a few more pics if needed.

Iceberg Silver 172 Cup 124K. Belts are due soon and there is a leak from the PS. MOT until September. In average condition (but cleans up pretty well, no dents etc just a few bumper scuffs), wheels could do with a refurb. Standard apart from having lowering springs fitted (Eibach I believe)...

I suppose that's where a friendly tester comes in!

Mine has just failed for no airbag (even though the lights were off). The tester showed me the part of the regs and it states something along the lines of 'factory installed airbag has been removed' I had to stick my stock wheel back on to get a pass. It may be down to the discretion of the...

Blackridge said they wouldn't be able to turn the lights off as even Renault don't let you? I found a solution though! Rather than plugging the resistors into the airbag connectors I plugged them into the connector behind the steering wheel Cowell (in the middle under the upper Cowell) hey...

Changed the leads today. And it has fixed it! I'm guessing when no.1 lead was shorting to earth it must have also messed with 4. So when the plugs got swapped at the coil it moved the fault.

I swapped the leads at the coil pack end.....so in my mind it would mean faulty coil. I.e. the leads to the plugs are the same, it's just they are firing off a different coil (but same timing, as wasted spark).

Haven't changed the leads. But as the misfire moves when swapping 1&4 on the coilpack, that would rule out leads to me.

Having a problem with an intermittent misfire on the clio. Details: Car: 2003 Renault Clio 172 Cup (approx 120K) Details: Developed a misfire on Sunday. Plugged in my cheapo code reader and got 'Misfire on Cylinder 1'. I switched the leads on the coil for 1&4 (as wasted spark) and the misfire...

Cheers dude! I'll give them a bell tomorrow!

Hi I seem to have damaged the airbag wiring on my cup whilst changing the steering wheel (the part that spins with the wheel). Does anyone local to Bedford have a Renault clip tool, so I can turn off the airbag lights (resistors haven't worked)? Would be a massive help as the MOT is due week...

They've got an AV5 (one up from the one i'm looking at) on clearance. Damn, i've been fooled by the upsell without even stepping through the door!

Cheers dude! Will head over to MK at the weekend and see what they can do!

Yup already have the deck (its a pretty cheapo one, but would look to upgrade in the future if needed. It also has in-built phono stage, so can be plugged straight into an RCA jack). I'm not sure I would really notice the difference in stepping up nearly 220 quid for the marantz. I'm by no...

Morning! I am looking around for a Hi-Fi setup for our spare room. Not looking at spending a busting amount (£150 max really). Had a mooch on Richer Sounds and came across this: http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/hi-fi-system-deals/pah011671 Anyone know if its any good? I'm...

Haha yea it did seem that way! All is good now though!

Balls! Was hoping it was simple swap!

I have the single rocker type light on my cup. I seem to remember on my old 182 with the map light type, the interior light came on when engine was turned off and the key was removed from the ignition. To gain this function, is it simply a case of swapping out the interior light only? Or is...

Managed to get it booked in for re-test this morning! All passed and good to go. Hate to think how much it would have cost if I wasn't able to do the work myself (the parts needed came to £300 alone (needed a new rear calliper and a few other bits also!).

One of these in the passenger seat? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NQ9Q3NA/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Changed the cat today. No wonder it failed, someone had completely gutted the old one!

Yea I took it for a proper run before hand, and the tester was running it for 30 mins odd trying to get some heat in the cat!

Well it failed again, on pretty much the same readings! New cat it is!

As far a I knoweth cat is original. Don't think it's that though as it passed everything but CO

Haha if only you could still get away with that! I'm going to change the plugs then see if I can get it nice and warm before testing. Stupid question but what causes a high CO reading?

Afternoon! My Clio failed MOT today on emissions (amongst a few other small bits). Spec is: 2004 172 Cup 105K miles Standard Exhuast (although non OEM replacement) Standard CAT Recently replaced 2 x Lambda Cup racer style Induction kit with Ph1 airbox (relocated battery to boot) Results are...

Looks awesome man, makes me miss mine!!

Any ideas what is different with the cup shafts/why they are different to non Cup?

Cheers Tom (just don't look too closely at the bumpers/wheels!) I'm off to Wales at the weekend, so I think I might give it another wash towards the end of the week and apply another coating of the EGP!
