the mounts do sit above the body work, can try jacking up the front and loosen the bolts lightly then give the steering a turn to see if it is indeed the mounts... they last quite a long time so just replace them if they're dead, can do them at home if you have a spring compressor, not a bit...

Sounds like a bad connection in the loom, coils work in pairs so they will stop working 2 at a time, trace back the loom and look for any damage, and check all the connections... lambda can make the engine run lumpy but the computer will generally swap to using the map sensor if the fuel trims...

Clicking noise when turning is usually driveshafts, check the condition of your dogbone mount and see how close the exhaust is to the subframe...

I just use various grades of sandpaper, polishing wheel and compound... costs almost nothing, end result is always worth it

Map sensors dont normaly give problems on clios although they can fail, if unplugged and when cold the computer will use the lambdas for fueling, if you want to rule out the map, find a friend with a known good one and swap it out... or give yours a clean... The fact that the car was still...

Time for a new fuel pump then, fairly cheap and easy to replace....

well the wiring up is simple, there are lots of easy to follow wiring diagrams on the net but basically a relay is just a simple switch, be it one you can control from a external trigger... ie. a on off switch in the cab or from the stalk if you are going to get one with that switch. so you...

tdc sensor, crank sensor, if theres a bad connection it wont fire, but after a while of cranking the engine shaking around sometimes moves the plug around enough to sort it out, can be fine for a few weeks... give it a clean and try...

Steering slop is more likley to be caused by worn tie rod ends, ball joints and bushes...

Could also be the pedal, theres a self adjusting mechanism on it that may need to be adjusted

In the past i have found this to be a bad connection on the tdc sensor plug... next time it wont start try giving this a wiggle... a bit of corrosion can cause lots of problems...

Did the 172 components work before the swap?

Never too late to learn lol

i carry a good few spare relays and fuses around with me :tongueout:

yea they do move around quite a bit, if they are knocking over bumps then replace them... otherwise that is normal. would be an idea to touch up the paint on the towers where the mount has been rubbing.

first check if you have spark... if yes then there may be a fuel problem... spray some starting fluid down the intake while swinging, if it starts and dies then you know you not getting fuel, or, the fuel you have is contaminated. about revs showing when the engine is off, yes, for some reason...

you could just wire them in with a separate relay and switch...

in that case as above... get the ecu re programmed

sounds like a battery issue, how old is your battery? they seem to only last 2 years now days... also check your earth straps, and the lines running to the starter, give them all a clean...

there is a receiver unit, could be this, although ive noticed that the range is getting less with age... you could try re programming the keys and receiver

just unplug the fuse when you want to have some fun... at least you will still have abs the rest of the time...

happend to mine too, been driving it so long like that the 2 halves were perfectly smooth lol

could be a number of things, leads, coils, even injectors, map sensor... if the leads are old then giving them a change could help

the light should be on solid when cranking, that means its disarmed, if its flashing then its armed... are there any other lights on the dash that shouldnt be there? have you checked all the other fuses as well or just the radio one, there is another fuse and relay box in the engine bay that you...

I always use castrol, never had any problems

I found some that didnt flicker the dashlights but they did bring up the highbeam brake light when the headlights are switched on... the resistance on them is so high compared to a normal bulb, havnt found any that dont cause issues... for reverse lights and fogs, leds work fine but stick to...

Eish lucky you didnt roll it, all the best with the repairs

Yea just the diamonds

Rob i was more thinking using epoxy on the clip posts to glue them back... not just on the paintwork... i dont think anyone would be that crude lol

what glue did you use? would need to use an epoxy type stuff thats thick... normal superglue wont do the job
