dc4 004 box seems to be Renault specific, the ford powershift is very similar though, and they have a worse reputation

doesn't look like it. Things to note it was hotter this afternoon than it has been The fault was the same as previously so rules out the external actuators Id guess (swapped them around but fault hasnt moved) so leans me towards the internal actuators ? or dodgy replacement capacitor? ill...

750miles..... and its done it again 😡

Finally found a front lower panel with both inspection hatches in. Lots of the RS' are missing them, though they are held in pretty well. Added some RTV to try and keep them in place and slapped them onto the Clio. Should, all being well, aid cooling some more as it completely closes off the rad...

Finished off the rear with the badge cover (i damaged it already as some tar remover blew onto it 🤦🏻‍♂️) and swapped to a black metal RS badge to match. Not sure how well the sticky bit will work but it it starts to fall off i can sort it..

AC has been a little lacking recently so took it in for a top up. Whilst there I got it up on the ramps and did some alignment, tried to balance up the castor but have ended up with a difference side to side, might look into new wishbones in the future but cant really feel it, 2.1deg of neg...

OH YES!!!!

Fingers crossed, track day should put some decent heat in there and test it out

and into the fire, ive also booked to do Castle Combe on the 8/7..... 2 weeks before CSF

500 miles no issues.... Took delivery of some badge covers (plus a few extras, thanks Paul) from @paul b of Diamond performance 👏 Excuse how dirty the rest of the car is. Straight out to clean the old badges and on with the covers 👌🏻 just need to whip the "Clio" off next and possibly get a...

Quite possibly one of my most boring videos, but I kept getting asked for it. General driving exhaust sounds, not just the full bore bits (though there is some of that added :D). This is the sound of the Gt performance resonated cat back, 3inch downpipe and front pipe. Hope you enjoy (y)

About 300 miles now complete. I think if I can get to 1k without issue I'll relax a little more. Had a chap come over this afternoon to have his cruise control reactivated. Gave me the chance to check his settings on the dash and compare with mine.... RS Sport light now working again 👍🏼 And...

Still running sweet as a nut. Also received the rear trophy shocks and fresh dust covers for the fronts. Should compliment the cooksport springs and compbrake topmounts. Fingers crossed I'll get some time to fit them this weekend

Id move away from Ktec and yellow stuff. The parts you order from them will take an age to turn up and you will be chasing them. Yellow stuff can be hit and miss depending on the car. Try Kam Racing (y) they sell everything you need

Don't want to jinx it so not saying too much, but did nearly 2 hours of driving in traffic at 22+degrees (must get AC sorted next as that's gone warmish).... Defo think its shifting better, like cleaner and crisper. Not sure if I mentioned before in the thread but I bagged some trophy front...

Just the varnish on them, up close they looked fine to me 🤷

Just updating here, I purchased a TCU, was programmed but looks to be programmed for a non-RS car. Also didnt work and gave gearbox faults within 100 meters... So I am now trying my original TCU with a replacement capacitor, wish me luck, I will update here and in my build thread

Its been mentioned by someone else who had a similar issue, changed them out and cured it. Its also noted by the ford folk as an issue (they run a visibly the same tcu and similar getrag box) The capacitors are used to jump the voltage to around 40v from 12v for shifting of the gears as far as...

So I did the above, I went ahead and swapped the TCU this afternoon. Really easy job to do tbf. and then it went for bad (though fine for 150miles) to worse. Though the car initially showed no faults, as soon as I started to drive I noticed it showed D (for drive) instead of the actual...

what an awesome noise it makes

hmm. I may just carry on and swap out the TCU then.

Good point, and on top of that I have had no undertray on since working on it so cooler again 🤔

120 miles covered with no faults ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️

40 miles covered... no issue, pretty annoying actually as I like to see or know the fix and I dont like driving constantly in fear of it breaking down. In other news, both the TCU and capacitors arrived today. Ready to swap out if/when the fault comes back. Comes with the replacement seals too...

oosh that is a whole slew of issues! fingers crossed for you. I gave my relays a cursory look over after seeing a pic of a burnt one (yours I think)

We at TurboRenault have booked a pap for the day (y)

So carried on with some investigation. I've swapped around the 2 external actuators. Will now keep driving until it faults again. If it does and it moves to a different position (135 to 246) happy days, it identifies it as one of them. If not I'll carry on down the tcu fix/replacement route.

TCU ordered, and have seen they offer the clutch packs for the Ford variant, wonder if they do a Clio specific one too. What funny is they look like the LUK clutches including the packaging, but you get it "unbranded". for a small fee they will box and brand them as whatever you want lol.
