Hi mate, thanks for that. Where is the fuel pump located in these?

Not sure how to work out what this means, but i have just done as you have said and found the following. Coil 1&4 when unplugged make the car sound like its going to stall. Coil 2&3 when unplugged make it go quieter but doesnt make it sound as bad as when coil 1&4 are unplugged. Deffinately...

Yes mate already had my head in the bay a few times looking at it as though i know what I'm looking for lol. Coil pencils all in place. I have already removed 1&4 as i know there is a common issue with water ingress on them, but they both looked fine and no signs of any water / rust. Im sure...

Thanks mate. One more silly question. Would you remove the full coil or just unplug the conection to it? And i take it, after each one, i need to actually turn the engine off and start it up again?

Thanks James, Unplug just the coil pencil or also the spark plug?

Hi all, I know I'm in the clio section but im trying to help my younger brother out with his twingo 133 and the twingo forum is shocking compared to cs. The car sounds like an impreza, stinks of fuel and struggling to reach 30mph without sounding like its going to blow up. Plugged it into my...

Not once has it ever gone through a hand car was mate! Never ever!

Yea, its got really bad. Its been at a point for a long time now where it needed a da so i have thought it was pointless to even bother polishing by hand. It looked like it had no protection on it at all the way the water was lying on it. Will be sorted once i have finished with the da. The...

I went for a look round the scrap yard while one of the cars was getting mot’d and spotted a non sport with a sport grill on it. I gave the bloke £10 for it, along with 2 sets of dash strips. It was going to go on with the rest of the spare parts i have built up for the 182 but thought I might...

Dont paint the kit. Paint the car to match the kit!

Also what rpm do people suggest? Im not sure how it works, obviously i know the higher the speed the faster the pad goes but it there a standard speed you should stick at? I have been sticking to 4k for the above pictures.

Had a go on the BG today. Question i have is when polishing, do you keep going with the machine until paint is clear of polish or do you stop when there is still a haze and them buff it off with a microfibre? I have left a haze and wiped away with a microfibre everytime so far. Some...

I didnt know that. Never seen any so not many people must have specced up. The electric sunroof is brilliant!

Nice one Mikey. Looks like the Initiale Paris model as it has the xenons which didn't cone on any of the other dci models, but it doesnt have the Initiale interior. I can see it has a/c, is it the Dci 100 engine?

Good work Brigsy. I need one of those guns. Couldnt get a drop link bolt off today and bet one of those would crack it straight off.

@geordie

I got the machine brand new for £65 and the pads and compound were £50 so not as much as £200. Worth it either way though and you can always use it on any car you get.

Do the rear cards just pull off or are there screws in place?

Haha! Even if the engine goes it would be stripped for as many parts as possible before going to the scrap yard.

No idea mate but assume Ryan below is right. I forgot to mention in the post, but when the cam cover came off it was worn down with bits of plastic coming off so it looked like the belt had maybe been rubbing on it. Not sure if that coud have caused it? Whatever it was, I know that clouting it...

Could be the earth yes. Try and post a video up of it

Could be as simple as the battery has packed in. Check that first of all with a multi meter

Thanks mate. Was starting to work out what parts i was going to strip off it haha!

Was just spitting my dummy out wasnt i haha

Back in action! Timing had slipped a tooth, re-timed and back running all thanks to @geordie thanks again mate. And thanks all on here for the advice ??

Do get a bit of white smoke when booting it and changing gear but tbh i think they are all like that. Drives great and starts straight away every time, even in the cold.

Lol. I think injectors are spot on tbh mate. My old dci had the glow plug lights fault and would loose power at 3k revs etc but this one is fine running wise.

Would the injector cause the camshaft sensor to flag up on eml? I thought injectors normally brought up the squiggly light on the dash, which hasnt came one. The only warning light is the eml for camshaft.

Will check with Geordie, but im sure he will have done it the right way.

Yes mate, waterpump was replaced too. All genuine renault parts used.
