Hi Ray Singh or Is it Ali G? Sounds like his patter! Welcome anyway Bob RTE

More than likely the speedo cable is faulty. Renault price these genuine cables at £68.50 + VAT. Yes - they are a bit of a bugger to fit! Bob RTE

The speedo cable has an electronic sensor built into the top near the speedo head. This sends road speed info to the injection computer. Basically, it prevents the engine from stalling when the vehicle is moving. If this sensor should stop working the following symtoms should be present. 1...

Alway use a genuine cable and not a factors replacement. If you can hear the clutch ratchet working (rapid clicking) then it is faulty and will require a pedal replacement as well. Yes, they are an absolute ar5e to fit, but once you have used genuine bits, fitted and routed it correctly, you...

This works if you are fitting a genuine replacement knob. Hacksaw the old one off, top to bottom!, mind the reverse gear pawl, cut down to the metal part, remove all the plastic remaining, does the job nicely - but be careful! DONT HAMMER the new knob in place otherwise you will destroy the...

As you dont say what year your car was built, its a little difficult to be sure. All Clios 1,2,3 (up to 1997) had a speed sensor built into the top of the speedo cable to send info to the Injection computer (basically an anti stall device) Clio 2 and Clio 2 phase 2, do not have speedo cables...

My Clio is fitted with the very same device. It wasnt an option, they just threw it in with the price of the car. It works every time. :D Bob RTE

Labour charges do vary at different Renault garages. Most garages are independant and therefore can set their own labour rates. It will depend on the area/size of dealer. It is very expensive to RUN a dealership and you would be amazed at the small retained profit these garages actually make...

Renault gearboxes are indeed filled for life. It doesnt stop you changing it if you feel the need. Bob RTE

For these bars to be removed fairly easily and SAFELY, the suspension arm must be in the right place otherwise the torsion bar will still be under load. Undo the shock absorber and try lowering the arm gradually (not putting too much stress on them), until the bar comes out. You should NEVER...

Do you mean a steering column or rack? What was the advisory note with the MOT? (you should have an advisory even with a pass certificate) Play in the o/s or n/s steering rack or excessive movement in the column? Let me know and I will advise! Bob RTE

Sunroof bolts coming out of the frame will cause this rolling rattle. If you are lucky, you will be able to put the bolt back into the hole it fell out of, without losing several layers of skin! Please wear gloves to stop you staining the headlining with your blood! Taking the whole...

LCP do helicoils in situ but Ive never heard of one being done in a 16v. Plug holes just too deep. However it maybe worth giving them a ring to find out. They might be able do it with the head off? L.C.P Automotive Components Bridge Rd Ashford Kent TN23 1BB Tel: 01233 623113 Just one...

The casing becomes weak around the N/S driveshaft/planet wheel circlip. When the circlip keeps popping out, the only cure is to replace the casing or complete gearbox. As Nick says, they are about £600 - £900 depending on the model, for a replacement gearbox with a full 12 month guarantee...

As it can take some time for these drain holes to become blocked, it would be a gradual process. Therefore not noticeable until the sill panels fill up with water. Bob

Fair point JonC. Even with clean fuels, engine management systems etc, exhaust still CARBON up. This quite often stops the baffles from rattling once they have become coated with carbon. Bob RTE

Tomclio 1.2 The water noise you are getting from your sunroof could be due to the glass not having an air deflector on it. If the noise is present when the car has been standing in the rain or after washing it, and is ONLY present for a short while, it will be the sunroof glass. I have a 98 S...

Mitsi, it still maybe worth having a look though. Also it could be that the skirts themselves are blocking the drains? Bob RTE

It is unlikely for both rear wheel bearings to fail within week of each other as there is no link. Its also NOT impossible. It is very difficult to locate a wheel bearing noise when they are in the early stage of failure, as the noise generally is not present off load. (Jacking up the car and...
