    Could this be rigtt regarding engine managment light

    That's just bullshit? The engine management light tells you that a fault has been detected in the system and you'll need to plug it in to a code reader to find out what it is. There's no point in speculating to what it could or most likely is until you plug it in. For the common "wires under...

    Keys in boot car locked

    On both my Clios if I unlocked the car then didn't open the drivers door in a certain length of time, the doors would lock again. Opening only the boot would still lock it.

    Quick question - Checking oil

    LOL at checking the oil when the engine is running. That's almost as bad as my neighbour filling her oil up til it came out the filler cap !

    Why did renault not think of this ???

    That nav in the air vent is ingenious ! How does it affect the clearing of the drivers window though?

    Clio 172 orange ecu light

    Will find the car runs just about the same but it will likely affect your MPG as it will more the likely be overfuelling due to reverting to the standard fuel mixture instead of adjusting it with the information it gets from the sensors.

    Clio 172 orange ecu light

    Yeh, pre-Cat and post-Cat.

    Clio 172 orange ecu light

    Having no lambda sensor would indeed bring the light on. Lambda sensors control the fueling system and having no bank 2 lambda sensor would mean the fueling is wrong. Ultimately, the car would need mapped differently to make up for the lack of a second sensor.

    Phase 1 service light?

    You'll need a renault specific code reader to read any codes from the system if its displaying the SERV light. ​Also, that thing plugged in to your OBD port is definitely not standard. Shouldn't have anything plugged in.

    I need an OS - cheap

    That's just a silly reply. ​You can pick up OEM versions online for around £60-70. At least you could when I built my PC.

    Phase 1 service light?

    Both my previous Clios had "Service" or something like that come up on the mileage display. Been ages since I've been in a Clio.

    Phase 1 service light?

    IIRC you press and hold the trip reset button while turning the ignition on. I'm sure this is how I managed it in both my Ph1 and Ph2. Nothing to do with a lambda sensor as mentioned above.

    Engine Management light

    You are best to get it plugged in to a code reader first to determine why the light has come on in the first place. Then you can make a decision on what to replace. There is no point in replacing parts without knowing what fault code has been thrown.

    how much does a pass plus affect my insurance?

    I did 3 full days though so it was well worth the money. Drove up to the Scottish Highlands and did B roads etc with sat nav experience. A full day of motorway driving then some town and night driving. Baring in mind I was 17 at the time, this experience was the best I could get. My instructor...

    how much does a pass plus affect my insurance?

    I paid £200 to do my pass plus back in the day. It got me a £200 discount in my insurance. The things I learned doing the pass plus were invaluable though.

    Was only a matter of time before you bought this ;-) I want a passenger lap at some point :-)

    FAO Ph.1 Owners with Dual Optics and HID's Fitted - Important.

    This actually has nothing to do with being "HID Safe". As mentioned, its the adjuster for when you are driving abroad meaning the kick up would be in to oncoming traffic instead of the side of the road.

    Is my head gasket going after 2 days of ownership?:(

    I wouldn't bother doing anything with it tbh. Just monitor the oil level and the coolant level and you'll be fine :)

    Is my head gasket going after 2 days of ownership?:(

    Both my 1.2 Clios had this problem. Neither of the headgaskets were away.

    Amber Engine Management Light

    Get it on a code reader and see what fault codes it has thrown. My Clio went a bit mental after I washed it once. Was fine in the morning.

    Engine Management Light

    For basic engine management stuff they do what is required to read and clear the codes but that's it :)

    Engine Management Light

    You won't know until you get it plugged in to a code reader. The light is only there to tell you a fault code has been logged.

    [PC] Age of Empires II HD

    Just played an online multiplayer game there. My god I miss this game !! The game engine and sprite graphics are pretty much the same so it looks like its just been upscaled to 1080p but even still, the multiplayer has been made so much easier and it is truely one of the classic games I love...

    Buying alloys without tyres?

    Yeh that's exactly what I mean mate. I had 165 profile tyres on alloys back when I bought my 1.2 and they looked stupid. Put 195s on it and it looked a whole lot better.

    Buying alloys without tyres?

    Personally, 165 profile tyres on alloys will look far too small. Especially on a mk3 as the arches are quite big. ​I'd personally try and pick up some used 16" with tyres. May as well do it properly to start with, springs etc can wait.

    Mileage Clock question..

    A service won't make any difference to a dodgy connection on the clocks? You say you have completed an LED conversion on the clocks? Take them apart again and make sure everything is soldered up properly and there is no breaks in the circuit.

    Buying alloys without tyres?

    Please tell me how you came to any sort of conclusion that 15" tyres could possibly fit on 16" wheels? Also, 165 width tyres would be why the tyres were so expensive. You should have changed up to something like 185/195 as these are more common and ultimately cheaper.
