You can calculate the volt drop easily for a given cable with ohms law. But basically the smaller the CSA cable the higher the resitance will be and the greater the volt drop will be.
ie.
V = I*R
A quick google says
50mm2 is approx 0.3Ω per 1km, so 5m = 0.0015Ω
20mm2 is approx 0.8Ω per 1km...
Swap the bulbs over, if the passenger side now works and the drivers doesn't you need a new bulb. If the passenger side still doesn't work then you need a new ballast/starter.
Cheapest place for the bulb (D2S 4300k) And I'd recommend a pair to get a brightness/colour match.
Renault for the...
The top one is normal, the ecu will set the max and min throttle limits every time the ecu is powered up. The bottom 3 are trying to get some more £££ out of your for more indepth diagnostics.
You'll need the slimmest torque wrench in the world to even think about getting in there. I wouldn't hold up much hope of torquing much. Assume you have all the locking tools and know the correct procedure?
£258 last time I checked, they were down to £150 at one point too. I'd rather pay that for a proper job and have everything fixed and working as it should rather than "bodge" it swapping old bits over a loosing feature. Plus the vin numbers on the ecu and the uch won't match the shell now either...
1. Man the fvck up/heat/pentrating fluid. (new one worse case)
2. What do you mean don't fit? The springs holding the bolts too far back? So so see above ;).
No need to smash a window, long rod to hook the door handle and bend the door back carefully.
Ditto, always though the clio was pretty unlockable by accident. And I had a spare.
