Ahhhh jeezzz, sorry to hear this rare find DCi is becoming an utter ball ache. There must be a worse case senario and be able to just swap barrel/door locks and ECU? I’d skip the whole fault finding in between and save the hassle. It’ll probably be cheaper too, rather than spending chunks in...

Can you just confirm your bundle of cars please? ?? we’ve lost track of what you’ve got ??

Where’s the best place to find the gates catalogue? :)

?

This is what I’ve thought too, if it’s not caused any issues so far, then I’ll just leave it and make the plug more secure.

I’m just outside of Oxford, what about you?

This is how I’m thinking too, I’ve been told it’s an easy cambelt to do, but I’m quite nervous because that’s one thing I’ve never done before.

Ohhhh..! I see what you mean now. I’ll check the fuel filter then and get a new one if there’s no sensor plug on this one. At least I have a good starting point now to investigate ??.

I’m wondering why it’s been taken out? Broken clip?

Can you expand on this for me please buddy? ? should it be plugged into the fuel filter then? Should I have issues with it in this state with tape over it? Lol I didn’t take the tape off, just in case I caused an issue.

Cheers buddy! I have no idea what that link even directs me towards for the sensor ? I’m assuming it’s a broken sensor that’s been taped up then..? Seen as it’s still a Renault part.

Another little update: The battery and STOP light has been flickering over bumpy roads.. A quick look and it seems the battery wasn’t even clamped down or tight, luckily the clamp was still there. On investigation though, there’s a plug that’s been taped up and a vaccume pipe of some sort...

How much was the belt change? :) Need mine doing.

Cheers for the information buddy :D I am tempted to give the cambelt a go myself, I keep putting it off for a garage to do. I do have a week off work soon, so I might have to dig out the tools and CS guidance lol ? it’s the only thing I’ve really stayed away from doing, cambelts always get me...

Cheers buddy! The plan is to get ontop of maintenance and I’ll do more digging into the performance side of things. Should be a little hoot with a bit more power!

I’ve got a soft spot for this shape

It’s not a thoroughbred Clio, if it doesn’t do this.. lol

Thanks for the info buddy! I may be in touch if the wiring is there then! :) Do you mean the square panel where the light adjustment is? @td_dan

@Filters ive just found this thread. :)

A little Saturday night thought, Can anyone tell me how easy/hard/don’t bother it is to retro fit cruise control? That’s the only thing that’s really bugging me not having. What’s needed to make it work?

Good progress buddy ? Mine gets a bit puffy after 3,000rpm full throttle, so I’m going to have a look at my EGR to see if it’s blocked too.

I can’t help you with the video sorry, I’m not very good with that stuff. But the key issue almost sounds like the barrel is worn or something? Is there any damage around the barrel area?

The starting issue is no longer an issue ? @Austin-182 Started first turn! -2 degrees.

Cheers buddy! It’s not a bad one at all! Cheap and cheerful! I think that will be done down the line, once these injectors start playing up, I’ll just upgrade them. The plan is to get ontop of the maintenance first, I still need the cambelt done. Then I’ll start on fun bits.

I’m going to try it later tonight, out of curiosity - once it’s been sat for a good few hours.

There’s plenty of aftermarket parts available for them and other brands. I wouldn’t worry about main dealer stuff. 99% of the time main dealer stuff is just boxed Delphi stuff

Just a little update, Finally got around to changing the glow plugs! I didn’t have a tool in my Halfords tool box that would reach over the glow plug, so I have bought a 10mm long reach halford socket and it’s done the trick. The job took less than 10 minutes and it was a doddle with the...

Edit: just seen your next update.

Vmaxx, as above

That’s awesome! That gives you £400 to spend on it, if need be. Brilliant buy!
