    Mk3 gearbox/clutch problems

    Sounds like it needs a gearbox oil change. Specific Renault oil TRX 75/80 should sort it out. Affects the JB1 gearbox.

    buzzing sound

    The throttle bodies do buzz/whistle and is not necessarliy a fault. Mainly noticable with the engine off / ignition on. If you have a warning light on, this would indicate a fault of some description and the fault would need to be diagnosed with a scanner or a Renault CLIP test.

    Rear breaks Squeeling

    Did you have genuine Renault pads and discs? After market ones are renowened for squealling. You have also said "Had my brakes at the back replaced" suggesting someone else done the job, if so, take it back and complain.

    Central Locking Dilemma

    It may be the motor in the door lock or it could be a broken wire in the conduit from the A post to the door. Really need to remove the door card and check to see if you are getting +12v and an earth to the motor when operating the central locking, this also swops polarity evertime you use the...

    Clio immobiliser/ non starter

    If the immobiliser light stay on permanently, this indicates a fault with the coded line signal from the UCH to the Injection computer. If it flashes about 4 times a second this would indicate a faulty key. Check the relays in the box in the N/S inner wing, remove them one at a time and check...

    stalk

    It's the self test for the instrument panel. It can be used to view fuel tank contents, fuel consumption in litres per hour (engine running) and fault codes, useful for completely resetting the trip computer back to zero. Exit fault finding and reset by pressing the trip reset button in the...

    Electric sunroof sunshade

    To do it properly, the glass needs to be removed. 2 Torx 20 screws to remove from each side, bit fiddly but can be done. You will then have access to the sun blind. It held in with 3 clips. Carefully unsnap each clip by moving the tags towards the front of the car. Remove the blind. The blind is...

    2nd Hello From Afghanistan

    Hi Steve. Another great set. Never been in a war zone and don't plan on doing so. You are a brave man doing a brilliant job. The images you have sent back really capture the atmosphere there and some of the shots of the locals seems to sum up their dispair and gratitude that our guys, including...

    interior mirror

    With great care. If you try too hard you may break the screen or the mounting block. The mirror, where it joins the mount, can be tapped lightly in an upward direction until it's free of the mount. They are quite a tight fit! Be gentle. If you can apply your design in situ I would recommend you...

    Engine management light help please

    No point in trying to guess what is wrong. Take it to Renault for a Diagnostic CLIP check or find someone with a scanner. Don't just guess!

    Piston on Rear calipers

    They only go back in if turned in the correct direction and the handbrake IS OFF. Clockwise I think?

    Alternator troubles?

    That's fine.

    Manifold leak 1.2 16v

    Normal induction noise, nothing to worry about. As said, if you had a leak the engine would be revving quite a lot higher.

    Computer: Range not showing

    Just reset the trip computer. Press and hold the button on the wiper switch. Turn on the ignition. Display goes into self test mode. Press the button on the wiper switch to view tanks contents in litres, fuel consumption and finally the fault codes. TJDH or something like that. Press the trip...

    Remote key

    Thanks for sharing your solution to this problem. You are spot on.:clap: It may also be worth sticking a little bit of foam packaging on the battery to stop it falling out again. ;)

    Car goes into limp mode when aircon is turned on

    Had this problem on a Renault Safrane many years ago. Turned out to be a bad earth between the body and gearbox. On the clio, the earth lead is just below the battery box / N/S headlamp area and bolts onto the gearbox close to the clutch cable. Worth removing it, clean the surfaces and refit...

    alternator

    I know Renault parts are expensive but they should be able to find the correct part number for you. You may need to get some numbers off the ID sticker on the current alternator fitted to your 182 so they can identify the right part. Have you tried Euro Parts?

    temprature is blowin hot air on cold setting!!!!

    This IS the solution! Removed the gear lever consol, no tools required as it's just clipped in. Took off both motors, 6mm socket to undo 2 screws each, removed the cover, 3 screws, examined the mixer flap drive to find it was badly cracked and opened up. Fixed a small jubilee type clip around...

    Cold start often VERY rough.

    I think this is a known issue but there is NO fix. Renault say this is due to the oxygen sensors not working when cold until they have warmed up (Via the internel heaters built into the up and down stream oxygen sensors.) The advice is to allow the engine to idle for at lease one minute before...

    172 HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING

    It could be that they have accidently kicked the relay out. It's located in the passenger footwell below the glovebox area just where the passengers feet would have been. Look up underneath with a torch towards the back of the black box and check that the relay is pushed firmly home.You will see...
