yeah looks like the little shield for the alternator

lol, there is no such thing as a perfect car or a finished project ;-)

Great track, need to get back and glad you're ironing out or working around the issues! Top day out with the father too, keep trying convince my pa have a go

Mark's aint bad, prefer mine though, he's just better at taking pictures ;) I am also completely bias :cool:

Should be a nice thing to recommission. Same recommendation here too, both my cars got to @MicKPM at diamond, he's just finished recommissioning the aircon on my phase 1

Low miler too, the car, presumably not the woman

Air con fixed and blowing ice cold with new condensor etc, airbag lights all clipped out for the recaros and new hella headlights fitted. She's getting there! Cheers to @MicKPM as ever, top fury spannering!

yeah 100%, none genuine injectors are a huge no no! lol!

they are very lumpy on idle from factory but as you have had the car from new presume this is different from the 'normal' lumpiness for you to flag it mine was a two pronged issue really, an injector went down simultaneously so cured big misfire by swapping injector then HT lead swap fixed it fully

as above, available new still from Renault parts direct, you want item number 2 on the diagram, NSF

if it makes you feel any more confident, my daily 182 is on 217k miles, used every day, does a couple of trackdays a year and is on original engine and gearbox. i just maintain it by the book and apart from a niggle now and again (most recently brand new spark plug leads breaking down and...

Mileage isn't an issue, there's cars on one 300k about with no problems and as they're cheap too repair bar major rust issues it's always viable imo

welcome back, sorry you weren't fully cured of Cio-itis

already got 2x of those though chap and in all honesty the mk2 in more road oriented trim just drive better so know for fact if i sold the oddy i would regret it

Door switches are at rear of door shuts and boot one is part of the locking mechanism in the boot lid itself, I replaced mine with good low mileage ones from a breakers local to me and saw them working in the car before they were removed and sold to me

you have 3 sensors, 1 on each door and one on the boot. if interior light comes on when you open either door, then door switches are okay. if boot light comes on when you open boot lid then boot switch is okay that is a fully working system and behaviour will be, unlock car with plip but don't...

if however the lights are working then its a completely different cause of the issue and one I haven't heard of, possibly a faulty UCH module as they can cause all kinds of odd behaviour if they break down internally

no it will still auto lock but only if you unlock it and then don't open anything, as such no issues then as you won't be able to leave your keys in it

yeah full set, its a myth that Clio's can't get heat into the rears, if you can't you haven't pushed on enough or there's something seriously wrong with your geo and just treat them with respect, I find once warm they let go no differently to a semi provided your on the ball and feel the grip...

no need to disable it, provided the door and boot switches are working then it'll be fine. so as above, check interior lihgth and boot light come on as they should with passenger door and boot lid opening. if not switches bust on both, so replace and fixed

just checked mine and no useable part number on it, just '420954' and a Renault badge. so no idea unfortunately!

oh and Titanium was the colour of the cars in the advertising and dealer brochures for the UK market at the time, hence was most popular colour for the UK market, good old imaginative Brits....'points at brochure, grunts, "I wunt dat one"'

that still looks dealer affixed to me, I could well be wrong but we got some odd stuff here like 'Factory Fit Sunroof' in the series 1 Williams' which was a Renault part etc but transpired was dealer fitted at that end, so the car left the factory without it in. the cup bits stuck on the Aussie...

The colours and numbers for UK models are below, there never was an official phase 1 cup, looks to me like dealer glued on tat that does to drum up some trade on Aus maybe? Total production run for phase 1 and 2 also there. All UK delivered phase 1's had ac. Phase 2 had climate if standard...

welcome, looks a good solid and standard base for a tidy up project :)

Still don't regret killing that rotten ugly ass pos :p

Spin out to collect some turbo bits from mate of mine, had a nosey around his very very nice mk1 1.8 16V which left me incredibly jealous and thinking about selling everything up to buy it... . then fell back in love with the oddy once more once removed the those rose tinted glasses!

I get that but what I mean is can do all that just pop system back together with new ac bits then drive somewhere get it commissioned

surely don't need to worry about the oil either, the compressor won't spin as the clutch will be disengaged anyway provided you don't switch the climate on.

Ah! I was going with Turbo car capable of 12 second 1/4 mile, reason being my old Clio was exactly that!
