Re: Still cuts out randomly? update from renault
Been at renault on their diagnostic machine and found no faults.
They said the next option would be to remove throttle body and give it a good clean as could be clogged up. So having that done and then see from there.
all so annoying especially...

How much did that set you back?
Cheapest after research was HIC insurance. £629 22 4 years ncb protected with all mods declared £400 excess .
And they dont care about other mods. will just give me admin fee which is good news for when i get my coilovers on.

The one main thing i have noticed is it seems to only do it evening/night and when the temperature outside is below 12 degrees!! In the day it never cut out so far.
Its wierd as as...
thing is its not like when the car cut out all the lights didnt come on just battery and stop light.
I've done a search and read it could be the live cable to the alternator which could be on its way out? Then again most people cant start it when it cuts where as i can .
I'm worried. Was driving to gf's house and as i was at stand still at traffic lights my car cut out and had the STOP and Battery light on. It didnt stall or judder just cut quietly. Started up straight away.
Anyway as i drove home was going about 30mph and felt the car judder slightly and it...
