I think they're the original leads, they are grouped together and have that sort of meshing around them just before they meet the plug caps.

Thanks for everything here Bloke :) - Throttle body is clean. That was the first thing I suspected a few days ago. - Will look at the plugs/leads again... it does pull really well without any misfires when it's not idling though which may mean the electrical end of things is OK. - I'll check...

I used Denso PK20PR11 plugs. I had an injector fail before I started all my work. It did throw a fault code. The car was running on three cylinders as a result, probably because the ECU shut off the injector. A prior owner also had an injector replaced in the past. I was just wondering...

I've replaced the cambelt, dephaser pulley, dephaser solenoid seal, water pump, auxiliary belt and spark plugs. Yes the inlet manifold has been off. I found two links on youTube that seem to be exhibiting very similar symptoms to mine. One's a 172 and the other's a Megane R26. The Megan...

I haven't been able to check the integrity of the pipe by sight all the way to the servo because it seems to go down back of a heat shield or something. However I pulled the pipe off the end of the throttle body and the revs increased a fair bit. It probably indicates that the pipe's OK. I...

It's idling higher than that but on the Modis scanner, when the engine is off, it says that the target idle is 869rpm (!) An air leak could be a problem... wondering where to start with that one though.

Thanks for that advice Nitro... will fill the tank with it and see how it goes. A friend suggested I try some STP petrol injection cleaner too... what do you think ? I guess if neither of those two work, I probably need to think about new injectors ? I replaced one of the injectors that was...

Thanks for this. Unfortunately it doesn't settle down when warm. It's like that whether cold or warm. Any idea what might be causing it ? I've had it on a live diag and most things look normal... and as I said, it drives absolutely fine.

Here's a vid of it today. Tell me what you think. The exhaust sounds a lot quieter on the vid than it does in the flesh.

Thanks for that Coops. I'll try and post a video link to mine a little later to see what you [and others] think. It just seems to idle a lot lumpier than any other road car I've had... more like a racing car than a road car.

Are Clio 182's generally lumpy when idling ? I've done a load of work on mine, I think it was lumpy on tick over before I started the work but can't remember. It idles at around 860-900 rpm. It's absolutely fine all the way through the rev range, pulls really well and the [new] dephaser is...

I found one on line... so hopefully I'll have it Tuesday.

Bingo ! That's it ! Thanks so much.

Anybody got the Renault part number for this thing handy ? I need to get one asap... in the mid of a cambelt and dephaser change at the moment and noticed this is weeping.

Yes I can, this is great. Is everything the same for the F4R 738, which I believe is what I have... i.e. the 182 engine ?

You're right... I need to be a member to see it. Didn't realise there were two parts to the club... will join up now.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately if I click on the link it's giving me an error though... have you mistyped it maybe ?

I'll be diving in to a cambelt/dephaser change this weekend and was wondering if anyone could direct me to a list of all the torque settings for F4R 182 engine ?

Pretty much all of the Genuine Renault dephaser pulleys on eBay are from Polish or Latvian sellers... even the ones with a UK account... which is where I've bought mine. They've 100% feedback and positive reports from people who've bought them there.

OK, sounds good. Thanks for that. I've ordered one up, so I'll let everyone know what they're like after I've shoved it in the car.

There appear to be quite a few genuine Renault dephaser pulleys on eBay sold by sellers in Poland. Before I take the plunge and buy one, has anyone else on here bought one from overseas ? Are they genuinely 'Genuine Renault' ? I haven't seen anything negative about them on eBay, just...

It might be I suppose... a strange option though (!) I'm about to embark on a large amount of work on the car - cambelt/dephaser etc... so I'll have the whole thing to pieces over Easter. I'll probably be taking up residence on the forum then :)

Thanks for the reply. Ya I have the battery on charge at the moment and that's what I'm going to do today. I just thought I was missing something as I couldn't find a way to lock the car without the battery connected. At least you've confirmed that is the case now. Thanks again.

My first question on here, hopefully somebody will be able to help me out. I came out this morning to find the battery on my 182 stone dead. I opened the passenger door with the key and then opened the driver's door from inside the car. I removed the battery and shoved it on charge. I went...
