Got myself a new radio today :)
Has iPod and USB etc connectivity (the shiney black panel on the right pushes up and reveals it all)
Bit more modern now! Lol.
Also bought this.
So working on the car should be a bit more of a pleasure now.
Cheeeeers.
Few quick updates!
Right. Injector number 4 decided it was going to die on me the other evening, so spent Tuesday night swapping that over. Car seems to be running better then ever now so maybe it was dying for a long time (who knows!)
Glad that's sorted.
Next was, I changed my PAS fluid as...
The light has taken itself off this morning without me having to do anything. Bonus :)
Anyway the car is now fixed so this thread had may aswell be closed down!
Brilliant thanks mate :) I will let you know, I'm thinking Monday will be a good evening for me. Can I possibly get your mobile number? (If that's okay with you) , just easier to contact on than here.
See you then!
Cheers mate, me too. You were right from the start too ;)
Life would...
She's working! Done the injector test and number 4 was not working. Changed it with one nick172cup had (many thanks nick!) and it came back to life :)
The emissions light thing is still on, but il take it for a drive later to see if it goes off. If not; il just get it taken off with a tool...
That's fine mate no worries :) a week day actually works out better for myself! Il let you know closer the time if that's okay?
I didn't get a chance unfortunately as it gets dark early and I have to work on it on the road :/ as it currently stands, the inlet and airbox and everything attached...
I didn't get a chance to put it back together unfortunately :( will have to wait until tomorrow now as it's too dark to see what I'm doing! I really hope that's all it was; do you reckon its possible?
If that doesn't fix it I will do the injector test tomorrow, but fingers crossed it's working now!
So update.
I changed coilpack over and it still didn't work, so took off inlet manifold and checked the plugs. Interestingly enough (assuming far right is no 4) , it was only hand tight :S must've worked its way loose if I didn't properly tighten after service. The others were all tight. I...
Been plugged in and the results are as follows...
There is a fault with the injector; leads or coilpack (in that order) soooo tonight il take it all apart and see what I can do.
Is there a way of cleaning injectors or anything? Or do I need to get hold of more? He said its injector 4.
Thanks all
Was just a load of different car groups and audio thing going on. That's the busiest I've ever seen it and I've been a fair few times - great evening. Lots of different types of cars, some decent music playing and a lot of stupid driving. Was pretty good :p
Okay superb thanks a lot for the info! I will check the plugs this evening if the weather holds out - or may ask the neighbour if I can nick her garage. Thanks mate!
I'd say it is running on just the 3. Well she's getting plugged in this afternoon by a local garage we use for work vans so hopefully they'll come up with the answer. Fingers crossed! I'd love it if it was the coilpack as I have one in the shed!!
Well I'm going to swap the coil pack this evening to a spare and see if it fixes it. Spark plugs are relitively new, been in the car maybe 6 months now? Would the lamda sensor failing cause it to run on 3 cylinders? I need to get it plugged in really, hopefully this chap I know can help me later...
Anything specific I should be looking at? I may be able to get it plugged in tonight from a bloke I know who has all the good equipment. I have a spare coil pack if that's worth changing? Also I know the throttle body's and can clogged up but I have cleaned that out not long ago anyway.
Cheers :)
Hi all.
Car has been absolutely fine until earlier this afternoon I started it to move it and it sounded lumpy, didn't think anything of it though.
Now, left my mates house to drive home this evening and it feels like it's running on 3 cylinders. The emission warning light (I believe?) or in...
Hello mate, welcome to the forum! I tried one of these restoration kits and it looked great for about a week and then came back :/ I've since had better luck with some G3 compound and a drill attachment. It's come up really well and stayed like it for about a month now!
Goodluck with it :)...

Gutted for you man it was only the other week I was complimenting this car on renaultUK. I hope you get it back in one piece; she's a proper minter.
