    Clio not starting- fuel cut off switch

    my car would not start yesterday. Turned over, fuel pump primed and immobiliser light went out but would not fire. I reset the fuel cut off switch, a red rubber button by the battery and it then started. The car had been parked up for a week, not knocked or moved yet it cut off. Anyone had this...

    misfire when driving after car wash

    It did nt sort itself!! Got worse. Had to call out the RAC from M73 services south of Glasgow. The guy was good, checked for fault codes and none showing. Took the inlet manifold and found water in the spark plug well nearest to battery. Used compressed air to clean them out and then took all...

    misfire when driving after car wash

    I think I have done the same trick. Tried to carefully clean the grime off my engine. Went to use the car a couple of days later and misfired. Just assumed it would dry off, driven 300 miles to Scotland and still doing it. It's intermittent, but mainly misfiring. Will it sort itself out as I am...

    Changing Lower Ball Joints

    A few questions please, When refitting the new ball joint do people grease the new pin or will this attract dirt and accelerate wear? Do people threadlock the wishbone bolts? Does the tracking need doing afterwards. I assumed there was no need as it's just three fixed bolt positions and no room...

    Speed sensor connected to radio wiring?

    Sorted it. There are three mute wires on the intellimute box, I changed them round and the speedo works with the phone on.

    Speed sensor connected to radio wiring?

    I am guessing the mute box that piggy backs on the ISO car to ISO radio leads doesn't have a link for the speedo when the phone is in use? I will contact the mute box people.

    Faulty speedo, help please!

    Well I fitted a new sensor last night. Went for a test run for ten miles and it worked perfectly having previously only occasionally worked. Today it stopped working again, but is working the majority of time. When I removed the old sensor there was oil deposits on the tip, is this normal? I...

    Faulty speedo, help please!

    My understanding is ph1 is the gearbox, standing at the front of car, down the left hand side of the coolant bottle look down and you will see the sensor to the right of the manifold, it has a metal clip on heat shield, wire coming from the top, should be easy to spot. Swapped mine tonight. Got...

Bought one from eBay for £8.99 and turns out its an OEM part, had the renault logo moulded in plastic then rubbed out, part number etc. the previous one was tricky to get out, in the end I used a spark plug socket over the sensor, (there is a mould bolt head...
