Yes mine appears to be sorted now, I done the following:
At the top of the Accelerator pedal is a black wiring connector/plug, I unplugged this, used electrical contact cleaner and cleaned the contacts and replugged it back in.
I also took the Air intake pipe off at the throttle body end, and...
Long time without an update and a few people have asked what's going on so...
Car is completely finished and has been for a while now, engine is full of fluids, we've tested the coolant pressure at the rad cap, primed the fuel pumps and made sure fuel was reaching the Injectors, it was however...
Started the car this morning and drove off, the Electrical Warning Light and Engine warning light are both illuminated.
The car also won't rev above 3000rpm and is very slow.
Searched a few threads and appears it could be the Throttle Pedal or Throttle Body, any other ideas what might be occurring?
Saw a Black 182 reg ending KNK on Saturday afternoon around 4.45/5pm on the A127 heading Southend bound, you turned off the slip road just before Strawberry fields/Tesco's heading up towards Southend hospital.
I was a few cars back in a Monaco 172.
Anyone on here?
Well the Clio didn't have a good day yesterday!
I had left my house and driving on my road, a neighbouring hoise about 10 houses up were having their driveway renewed, the labourers where breaking up the old concrete into lumps and chucking it into the bad of a flatbed truck, i'm driving along...
Afternoon Chaps
After selling my old 172 Cup back in 2013 for a Megane 225, I knew i'd always be back in a RS Clio at some point!

The Creases are extremely difficult to get rid of, the Real Leather dash covering had to be glued onto the original dash underneath, trying to line up all seam lines in the correct places and glueing the leather cover down whilst there are different contours along with raised and dipped areas...
Managed to get a few pictures of the car as it stands.
All Interior is now installed, Seats, Carpet, Dash panels, Speedo etc.

Hi mate, No the car's not up and running yet!
A mixture of not enough time over Christmas to work on the car and finishing off other little bits first have meant it's not finished yet.
As mentioned earlier the Syvecs ECU we orginally had was one of the 1st batches and didn't have CANBUS...

Update
Still waiting to get the car started due to the Syvecs S6 ECU.
It was originally bought 2nd hand from another Supra owner who ran it on his car, unfortunately it was one of the first batch of Syvecs S6 and it does not have CANBUS capabilities, meaning my Dads car would not be able to run...
