Yep sounds like turbo failure for sure. Specialist Renault Breakers knock new replacements out for £400, its an awkward job but not difficult. Check for play in the turbo shaft if you want to be 100% before ripping it all apart.

Fuel pump/sender cover as said.

Only way to proceed is to get it up in the air and check everything, could be several things. Who fitted the shocks?

Pah waiting for a tow! Bit of string out of the window ;).

Your's still doing it regularly? The more often its doing it the better for pinpointing the problem.

Check the skuttle drains and the engine/dash connector in the righthand side of the skuttle behind the washer bottle. Make sure water isn't working its way up the loom and into the back of the engine side plug amongst other things.

Check the threads thoroughly also if you're putting coppaslip on them that won't be helping. They don't need anything like that on them.

Hate the 19s. Love oyster grey, if I relent and buy anothe renaultsport car it will be an oyster grey 250.

I'd want the valve guides checking/replacing too to add to the machine shop's list.

All of those bolts have been out before with a cheap torx bit by the looks of them.

Thats the carbon canister solenoid at fault, off the top of my head there isn't any readback off it so its probably open circuit. Either its disconnected, theres a break in the loom or its broken down internally.

Possibly faulty multitimer at a shot. Especially if the lights etc aren't working. All controlled by that like mick says.

Lost of the ecu supplies due to a fuse. No ecu comms with it blown so everyone else was thinking immobisiler issue and new ecu etc. ££££ basically, 90p fuse sorted it.

Yep, literally 5 minutes from J1. I have a clip so not a problem there. PM me will sort it out :).

Electric fault light. Needs codes read/a decent diag.

You're missing the point, unless they'd already been done then they were 2 years overdue when he bought the car. Ignorance prevails. What because people can't read service schedules? I might sound like i'm coming over unsympathetic, but thats because I am. 5yrs/72k cambelt interval and you're...

No they don't. It points to a fault on the throttle control circuit but the only components aren't the body and the pedal. Has the wiring been checked throughly. The trouble with most mechanics is they are very good and quick to jump to changing components rather than actually putting some time...

What did clip say? Lambdas don't tend to put them into limp mode. Just run rough as a badgers backside.

I'm just assuming that, might be some weird and wonderful other thing fred does ;).

Silicone under the bolt heads to seal them I imagine.

Oh dear, big bills ahoy.

Mk3 being 2005-> they pretty much all come with the standard renault cobra affair.

Yep 3.5l fo sho.

The fork style ones are fine only if you are replacing the ball joint, as they will almost unvariably split the boot on the joint.

Try to save a few bob and take a risk, or pay £80 and be sure it'll fit. Take your choice. They're both different part numbers and whilst the aerial body looks the same the cable lengths will be different and maybe the connectors used etc too.

Backed into something hard then i'm guessing?

Be servo related I imagine. Its not awesome in the slightest, its a fault. :dapprove:

Possible lambda, get the fault codes read rather than stabbing in the dark. Read the manaul again, its the electric fault light in your case.
