This will be the outside temp sensor, mine is reading far too hot and this affects wether the a/c comes on or not. Cheers.

..............other than a 'Longlife' Twin 3" backbox. Being made redundant towards the end of this year and very tempted by the Ktec Turbo kit or running it on Throttle Bodies. Between now and then wondering what more 'minor' modifications I could do? I am not a mechanic and have had...

Have not tried the leads yet but wondering what affect blocked / weak injectors may have? I do run the car low of petrol often :o so wondering if my problems may be fuel related?

Very easy mate, took me about 3 mins and I am useless when it comes to mechanics!!

May have to bite the bullet - cheers mate!

Nothing to do with cold air as I have the problem during summer too........

No mate, problems before I fitting the new plugs - when starting off I have to give it loads of revs to avoid stalling it, as soon as it gets going it is ok. I never had this problem when I first got the car so something cannot be right..........

BUMP

Any other ideas? Someone please help as this is driving me mad!

I see. When I first got the car it never did this so imagine something is sticking / needs replacing?

(172 FF Phase 2) I seem to have a similar problem to this - the idle seems to drop to 500 RPM (this seems to be normal to some) when the car is sat and this is when the engine is hot too. When I dip the clutch to pull away the revs seem to dip, I have a small period of rough acceleration, then...

Do you have abnormal wear on the inside and outside of your tyres? I thought this was down to the slippy roads but perhaps i'm mistaken. Mine does this most noticeably on full lock in the mornings, as though the wheel is rumbling / slipping.

Lost one of mine yesterday too so will have a chat with Renault with a list of a million other bits i need! Can you get things like replacement screws?!

Replaced my plugs today and had similar issues from standing or hill start. The leads looked like they had slight grooves in them so wondering whether to replace them?

Mine does this, i'm sure its down to either the slippery (icy) roads or drains!

Hi Caz, I would imagine your pump is gone as it has a two way valve - mine recently replaced as it kept sticking and doing randoms things. Tip - make sure you remove the whole washer bottle rather than trying to take the pump out with the bottle in place. Cheers!

If they are that cheap may as well get new one. Cheers guys.

Removed the bottle and it has a darn leak! Any ideas on the cheapest place for a replacement. Cheers

Yeah mine has headlight washer (for what they are worth!) - thanks again for your help.

Sorry what is an 'FF' model? Is the wiper mech easy to remove and when it is removed does the bottle come out ok? cheers

No worries, cheers.

Adam - was it really that simple to remove without taking off the wipers? Did you completely remove the front pump? Cheers

Really useful advice, thanks guys.

........do I have to just take the wipers off to remove the bottle or the complete wiper mech? Thanks.

Finally got the pump in place and pushed it back into the bottle but it now leaks, any ideas if I can get a new rubber seal which will hopefully cure it?!

Definately not frozen! Removed the old motor (it ended up splitting in two which made it easy to pull up) and now having problems fitting the new washer / pump. The design of this is dreaful, its driving me mad. Are there any ways to make this a tad easier!?

It wasn't beaten by a Matiz but it would be embarassing if I was challenged at the lights..................!!

Last service around 50k, now done 62 so it is due. Will this make much difference? I have some new plugs so will try them first, maybe a set of leads at the same time. Thanks

................Daewoo Matiz. Car runs perfect during the rev range other than starting from stationary or a hillstart. I need to give it lots of revs to avoid it stalling. I have no problems whatsoever in the morning, it always starts first time. What are the best things to try first to...

There is a guide on this forum with pics, makes the job even easier.......
