Yes sir!!

Could be a lot of things mate. The best place by far is Transmission Workshop, just on the other side of the river in Southville. Give Andy a call and hell sort you out - does everything at amazing prices too. No finer a place in Bristol. BTW - when are you free for me to pick up those...

The reason they called the Nova the Corsa abroad was becuase in Spain/Italy/France "No Va" means "No go" - which is a very apt description of this blokes Nova GTE Turbo 4WD with LED lights that add 467bhp now that its sat in 6-foot of water!

The saddest thing I ever saw was an original Williams 1 at a supermarket a couple of years ago. It was parked up in the "Mother & Child" spaces, with two child seats in it and an obviously stressed mum fumbling around in it trying to get her kids to stop throwing around more...

:(

Same here! You just have to drive off your normal routes!

This happened from about 6k miles on my old 1.2. Didnt happen at first on my Valver, but did after I had the gbox re-built at 83k. Replace the speedo cable if its really bad, but by all accounts its a pig of a job. :(

Right. Have just been out to the car and started it up. As per haynes, I tested the ISCV by pinching the air pipe on the inlet side and all seemed fine (i.e. it messed up the idle speed). Hmmm... this could be a case for Sherlock Holmes.

Cheers guys. Have just read the Haynes Book of Revelations and according to Haynes 4:18 I can check it by pinching one of the air feed pipes. Am going to do that now. Amen!

Yup, have previously been pushing along a 51-reg WRX up to high speeds (though it was sooooooo much better than me on roundabouts!). But the old-shape WRX is a very different matter. And I doubt it being an estate would give a Clio any more hope of not being totally destroyed either!

So where in the engine bay is this idle control valve? Is it the red thingy on the throttle body next to the airbox/induction kit? Was that £80 from Renault? Does it need to be set up with specialist equipment/knowledge? Cheers

Have brand new plugs in there and Im replacing all other ignition components soon. I dont think thats going to improve matters though somehow!

Hope she said yes - who did you propose to in the end? Williams or VTS?;)

Will the K-tec 285mm discs fit under the standard 15" wheels?

Are you coming to the Midlands RR Craggy?

...I was gaining on you at the race track though Aaron:devilish:

Someone at the parts department at Renault HQ is really canny. Not only are the boggo prices absurd, but the prices of "desireable" stuff is totally out of this world! My mate has a GT Turbo and wanted those "Renault" and "Turbo" badges from the Master van: a snip at £20 each!!

Have now seen quite a few Meganes in the flesh. I quite like them! The three door looks strangley small. Saw a really nice one in a dark metallic with contrasting dark silver bump strips - sounds cheesey; looks good.

A whole 3mm lower than the 172!

Cold idle sensor? Cant find that in the Haynes manual! :confused:

Where is the ISCV? Is it the throttle potentionometer? (hope Im not being stupid!).

Ive had this problem for a while now. For a few minutes on start up the engine splutters and coughs. You can often feel at the tail pipe that theres pressure, then none, then pressure, then none and so on until it settles down. Im not sure if its misfiring as such, but its failry violent...
