If you get them out, copper grease them up before refitting them too.

Yes it's a torx screw, from memory it's about a T35 or T40 size.

As I understand things - the TFW light came on so he booked it in for diag. Diag day came and the light had turned itself off again, put car on diag and it came back with a knock sensor fault. No other codes have been mentioned to me - yet.

Dave - I know, that's exactly what I said when he first told me the light had come on. He wont listen though as this supposed 'mechanic' has suggested the knock sensor instead. I believe as you say Jordan that the fault may have been logged but it's not linked in any way to the TFW light...

Thanks guys, this isn't my fault but a lad I know who has a 172 had his toxic fume warning light come on. He's had it to a local Diag place and they've told him it's the knock sensor. Personally, I'm dubious!

Does the Clio have a Knock sensor and if so where abouts is it? If it failed what would be the symptoms? Would it bring on any warning lights? Cheers.

Buy a new one? About £20 each from Renault! My jet wash did this to two of mine over a period of a few weeks! I've learnt my lesson...!

Possibly...but either way it's still inaccessable down behind the engine. Why it isn't up near the header tank is beyond me.

Lol, no I can imagine it wouldn't need one ;)

Yeah it's the warning before you redline it ;) Commonly known as the shift light.

Yeah it's a right royal pain mate! The easiest way I found is with using a gloved hand for better grip. I simply could not budge mine this morning with bare hands even though I had removed it only yesterday evening. Also make sure you release the hand brake, I'm not sure if this is...

Uncupped RB 182 seen parked up on Walton Lane, Colne. Looked totally standard and had a ClioSport sticker (old style) in the rear drivers quater window. Reg was BK05 *** anyone on here still? Never seen this car in Colne until today, about an hour ago.

Nightmare mate, bet the car will stink now if it's got into the vents too! Some proper messed up jealous idiots out there!

Muchos gracias mate :)

Yeah was a piece of piss to be honest, just need to bleed in the morning then everything should be sorted :)

Steve, did you manage to sort this in the end? Intrigued as I plan on changing my lines soon...

Caliper replaced tonight, all sorted and happy again! Took about an hour and half, not bad for a novice! :approve:

Thanks Billy so is that a bank 1 sensor or bank 2 you bought? Apologies for the OT :o

Yeah, water ingress means water getting in somewhere it shouldn't and possibly corroding the connections in the lights. Check for rust etc this will be a dead giveaway. I am in lancashire myself, you're a little far from me - was asking as often if you're close it's easier to have a look than...

Mine passed on Tuesday no problems :) but yeah always a nerve racking day!

7 - 9am usually isn't it before gates open at like 9.30am to joe public?

It was locked, removed, edited then put back ;)

Re: Thinner/Moded front number plate www.fancyplates.com can't remember the exact width dimensions but it all depends on how many digits your plate has. The height of the plate is just 22mm greater than a standard digit. Haven't altered the rear plate...yet...am undecided about that one...

Re: Thinner/Moded front number plate Mine is cut down but retains legal font, style and spacing of letters with the required 11mm border... Just to show it can be done :)

Cool yeah, weekend should be good for me Anni :)

Haha...still none the wiser as to who that was! I was convinced it was you! ;) We work at Burnley General too from time to time so I'll keep an eye out if I ever get sent there! You'll have to text me so we can arrange this meet you speak of :)

Haven't had either system so can't comment on those but there is a YozzaSport group buy on at the moment which gives a good saving. I have the YozzaSport system and can't fault it. It is noisy though so if you plan to decat it, it will be very noisy!

A Clio 182 holds just over 5 litres of oil. 1 litre is quite alot to use in such a short distance. How do you know it's 'out of oil'??

billy - replace it. How much was it out of curiosity? Stacy - where abouts in the UK are you? The creaking definitely sounds suspension related, but it could be a few things as previously stated. The fog/indicator/light flashing thing is water ingress or possibly a bad earth behind the...
