Well the AA bloke came today and had no joy firing it up. He ran a diagnostic via his laptop and it found 15 electrical faults lol. He ran it again and it found 7. Can't remember them all but it found a throttle body fault, throttle pedal sensor fault, some relay problem. I've probably not named...

Two words "It's French" I've had some very strange things happen with mine.

Or try that on the off chance it might work?

That's what I found while searching. If you search this thread you'll find a post about resyncing your immobiliser, that could possibly help you with your problem.

Lol there's more than 4 of us I think mate.

Yeah I went to look at one that was advertised with having the toys normal 172s have. xenons leather seats etc. To say it was a dog would be a compliment.

If that red Immobiliser light isn't going out, it's an Immobiliser issue, Must be the time of the year because alot of cups aren't starting recently.

Suppose it could be anything ignition wise, i.e ht leads, sparkplugs etc.

Does anyone know what the red engine management light with "STOP" in the middle of it means? As that flashes now when you try to turn the car over. Edit: Just found out what it is.

I'm not sure to be honest, thought had crossed my mind but that wouldn't explain my fuel pump not priming. So unless everything has decided to fail at once I don't think it's that, that's causing the problem.

Funniest one I had was an old guy in a focus when I had my 1st Cup. I was coming down the M67 and this Focus was going pretty slow so I pulled out in to the middle lane and over took it then filtered off junction 2 for Hyde. The old guy driving didn't like that so he tailgated me all the way up...

I wouldn't have thought so because it's not a legal requirement to have them even if you have just passed your test. In the UK it isn't anyway.

Good video, that Saxo looked pretty quick and lol at the black smoke coming from that pug 205.

Not legally I'd imagine. Find a friendly M.O.T test centre ;)

Not heard that before. My wheels have been from lock to lock though when the car needed pushing on to the flat part of my drive.

Are you in desperate need to sell it? If not I'd hang on to it and see how things pan out, being a Renault though you'll be lucky to break even when selling it.

Probably people waiting for the prices to drop even more.

Ah yeah it was Arden blue I'm sure but I couldn't remember if it was the Corsa or Astra.

Could this throw up the heartbeat monitor light up on the dash if that was the problem? I'll hopefully find out what the problem is tomorrow as it's going to Renault.

Yeah I've read they tend to corrode and stop working, I never switched the position of the relays though and only cleaned up the blacks ones that are located in the engine bay.

I think he's after something from the VXR range though, worth dropping him a P.M though.

Ahhh I see. cheers for clearing that up. Just at the point where I'm looking for anything that could be the problem.

A while after yeah, doubt it's the problem though because the pump was priming for a while after I cleaned my relays. Might be a long shot but I think it could be something to do with my faulty UCH.

Lol. it also rattled everything in the car and when you took the revs high then lifted off the throttle it use to make a weird noise, it was like when someone holds there breath for a long period of time then starts to breath again.

Knackered Turinis? ;) Edit: Beaten to it ^^^^^^

Kind of what I meant really, just my poor description. I didn't mean they lift the whole engine out but like you say lift up one side of it.

Doesn't the engine need lifting from the bay? I could be talking absolute b****cks here but I'm sure I've read/heard someone say that before.

With my car there was nothing really noticeable but every car is different.

Lol! Strip the back out like mine. I couldn't hear the radio even if I turned it up to the max while it was decatted.
