Turned out to be a rusty slider. Quick rub down and some copper slip and we are all good again. 10 min job :)

The front drivers brake on my clio is getting stuck on. Its not enough to stop the car moving but you can feel resistance and the wheel is getting very hot. You cant touch the disc on that side but can the passenger side so its that one thats getting stuck. Can these just be taken apart and...

Throttle body changed, all seems good. If it helps anyone in future I could provoke this fault by being in a high gear, low rpm. Stamp the throttle to the floor on a incline (so car is under load) and if its anything like mine u will find it drops into limp home after a second or 2. I could get...

The garage have said they are 90% sure its the throttle bottle. They have quoted £300 plus vat for a new one, but have recommended buying and trying a second hand one. Does this sound possible?

Booked into our local Renault specialist. Will update when I have the fix

Is looking more and more lambda like. I might get the codes read before spending out on one tho. Can they be intermittent like this?

Just been out round the roads, give it a quick try and its perfect again. Apart from this light Staying on nothing else funny happened. This is a complete contrast to last night when I struggled to get it home! It was pouring with rain last night, roads proper soaked, and I'm sure last time...

Re: Warning light for exhaust gases and electronic fault light on, restricted powe Cheers for the replys. Anything I can try/check today?

Hi... Driving home tonight and the electronic fault light come on. My car is a Clio 172 This has happened before and last time turned the engine off, back on and it went out and drove fine again. It restricts power when this light is on. Now this light comes on constantly so no power, does go...

Limiter! Took me by surprise! I dont know what the judder sound is, its not something I notice when driving it but the mic seems to have picked it up.

Hi All. Made a very small video of my recently fitted ktec to my 172. The camera picks up the sound much louder than it is, but it is still very loud. At low speeds/gentle acceleration its quite quiet. I would recommended the kit but not if you like the stealth thing...

I think so! It is very loud, but its okay. If I could have tried it first I don't know if I would have bought it but will stick with it.

Fitted my ktec induction kit

Called the AA out today to the wife's Ford cougar. We was very rural but they arrived in 25 mins. Guy was excellent. Turned out it had blown a spark plug out the head! Quite a strip down to get to it but he did it. He had one in his Van, got it to screw in tight and on we went! Suggested it...

Yeah when I got it, it was running cold so was only a couple of weeks running cold in my ownership, well worth changing

When mine was reading low I changed the stat and it felt quicker! Thought it must have been in my head!

Dude, battery! If it started by bumping it and then ran fine its not going to be fuel pump etc. Batteries die in this weather.

Fitted new wheels to my car

I have recently bought 4 rainsports, bloody brilliant. I rarely notice any difference between tyres but I really did with these. Very very impressed.

Your right, ultraleggeras :-)

What is and what does a carbon canister do? I had not noticed it not lining up till you just pointed it out! Now you have pointed it out its really noticeable!

Couple of pictures Someone has tried to fit the liner over whatever is it causing it to split

Standard as per the orginal wheels, and not lowered. I have had a look today, and the wheel arch liner (plastic bits) are badly fitted, and for some reason it's started rubbing them. Did not do it before! Having looked, driver side, tucked under the bumper, just in front of the wheel, and under...

Mine was done at kwikfit for £40. They originally quoted £60 but I know them fairly well

They charged me 40 quids today

That's what I was thinking but on just the one?

Hi all. Fitted some oz wheels today, made up with them, but when I turn right, at low speed can kinda hear them rubbing on half lock. Fine if I do the same turning left. Same size as standard wheels with same tyres! Any ideas? Going to have a look tomorrow, been too wet to do anything today!

My interior light will come on when I brake fairly hard, but nothing like an emergency stop. Any ideas? it will go out again after around 5 seconds!

Hello Mate. I had these exact same problems, cured with a new key from Renault.

:-) okay, I will do, cheers
