Winston - after some 77 scirocco MK1 front indicators....any idea ??
These are the ones that are tucked into the grille and not the type that wrap around the wing
TL4's are OK at the moment - its when they get to 60k or 3 to 4 years old they will start breaking, just like the JC5's. The PK6 boxes are a load of junk full stop - i sell about 20 a week for Laguna's, Traffics and the odd Clio V6
Just seen this.
I had a similar problem ( wire going to fuse box ) happen to me in York 2005. One thing i always listen out for Renaults when they dont start is the fuel pump in the fuel tank buzzing when you turn the ignition on. One of the first places to look on a non starter.
I was...
There easy to do as the engine bays are identical. Its possible to do one on your driveway but you will need an engine crane / ramps. Dont be put off doing it by critics.

I prefer Santa Pod and Shakespeare county raceway. I used to go York in the 80's as a kid when my dad and his pals used to race down there and its never changed. A serious lack of investment and refusal to update has lost them my custom.
My quickest times were recorded at Santa Pod ( times...
UCH - internal control box for vehicles electrically controlled components. Very common fault. Not repairable and you cant fit a second hand one as there coded to the key and ECU.
Replace
As above - replace the heater matrix.
On Renault engines your meant to use "Coolant type D" to top the water reservoir up as normal water causes the inside of the engine to corrode and in return small fragments of metal / rust block the fine pipes in the matrix. This means hot water is...
If the ABS rings on the driveshafts have broke or come off this will cause the ABS warning light to come on as the sensor on the hub will have nothing to communicate with.
The same applies to the rear of the vehicle but the ABS rings are built onto the discs. If your speedo still works it...
Could possibly be the computerised throttle body. If the revs drop this will affect the PAS pump as its belt driven. Also check the throttle position sensor on the acc pedal / TDC sensor.
The Crankshaft position sensor ( TDC sensor ) is usually the guilty party.
On UK spec 1.2 16v clio's there was a recall in 2002 of which they reset the peripherals on the ECU for this very fault. It may not apply to your car but its worth checking it out with your local Renault dealership...
JC5 129 / 130 gearbox i assume ?
Speedometer not working - Speedo drive fault ? possibly fallen out or just knackered. As the speedo pick up passes through the ECU it may possibly be linked to the radio. If not check the UCH - very common fault
If your gearbox doesnt have a speedo drive...
You will find with drag racing that the more experienced you are and depending on how well you know your car, your times will differ. The slowest time for a 172 ive seen was an 18.2 ( Chris n Nic ;) )......the fastest ( with minimum mods ) 13.9 ( timo172 )
I ran a 13.5 @ 106 with a stripped...
