Does "Driving past it" count? If so, I drove past my car today 😂😂

This is an awesome car

Coming along nicely mate

I rather like this thread

The plans Well, as some of you guys know, the car didn't come without its problems. So, as soon as I've got the car into the unit (awaiting keys) I will do all the things necessary to find the fault in the system. IF I can get the car started and it runs well, I plan on doing the car up in...

I wasn't best pleased when I stupidly hadn't checked it, but at the same time I had every right to refuse it if it wasn't at a price I was willing to pay. After speaking to the auto electrian/locksmith he's advised me to find the problem on the car... he's adamant that something's gone wrong...

I was going to leave you guys all guessing, but I paid £200 for the car. There is a possibility if I can't get around the immobiliser, that I may break the car. I don't really want to do that though:up:

I didn't pay anywhere near the winning bid price for this car. So once I've ripped it apart and seen the damage behind the front bumper, that'll determine whether I carry on building this car or not. As a novice Renault buyer, I'd have no idea 😊

Hello all A bit of a long introduction to bring you guys all up to speed... A few years ago before I was married, I told the mrs that I wanted a project car once we were married, she agreed and said "As long as I get to help then that's fine!" - Result :smile: So, we've been married 18...

Yea, I've got a full account with Photobucket so it's just a pain as I've got so many photos hosted with them

afternoon guys, Is anyone else having a really hard time getting their images to show when linking from Photobucket? I've got a picture below, that should be of my newly purchased clio on the back of a truck... Full link from photobucket...

I certainly will bud, I've just got to get it into my unit as that's number 1 priority at the moment. Having a few issues with the letting agent for my unit, so I've not been unless to pick the keys up for the unit this week, but it's looking like next week now 😞

Looking a lot better already :up:

Update! I went to see the Auto locksmith today, he tested the key and said the key is working and it should start the car. HOWEVER, there is an aerial (coil) on the ignition barrel that sometimes fails. He said in plug it and give it a clean with contact cleaner and plug it back in. If it's...

Oh it's bad! It's a Poorly cared for example

This is coming along quite well! I shall have to dive into the deep end soon as my Clio 172 bargain is in a right sorry state! You think yours is bad 😂😂

Right lads... We're not far off 2017, so I thought I'd start the list of peeps in the Sussex area. Mainly to see how many of us there are, and we could then organise meets and convoys etc :up: So, I'll start with the following format So we can keep things neat. Please copy into your reply...

😂😂😂

Pictures will be the next time I'm down the unit

That was a suggestion a little earlier in the thread bud.. it is apparently a reset for the immobiliser but it didn't work for me :pensive:

Update Few people have recommended an Auto Locksmith, so i went in and told him what's happening and he wants to see the key as he thinks the key is faulty. He's given me s price for a new key and to come out to the car and recode and sort the immobiliser issue. I'm going to try all the...

It just clicks, so I'm going to try a new starter motor too. What is UCH? (I will search more on this when I'm home) Yes... but I have a starter from a pal and I will try that

Just popped into Renault and the bloke in there seems to think it'll be the key. They've quoted £36 +VAT for the gearbox earth strap :fearscream:... so I think I will pop to Halfrauds and see if I can get an earth strap there to try.

Where are Diamond Motors? Im interested in the cambelt offer

They certainly will... I thought about calling them out today and seeing whether they could determine the fault codes, if there are any in the system

Not tried everything yet, will get it in the unit and start investigating it further :up:

Yeah, tried to bump it, it went to turn over but something (immobiliser, I believe) was stopping it from turning over. I'm not sure it will lock on the fob, the drivers lock has been taken off the car. See OP. I think this is part of the problem

Thats the only thing we haven't tried yet because I had to get the rental flat bed back. That is the next thing. (Off to see the cost of the green strap)

if the immobiliser is the problem, do I need a new key? Do I have to get the ECU plugged in? How do I clear the faults

My pal checked all of of the earths and they're all ok. (I've no idea what they should read)
