SOLVED!!! I got fed up with the problem in the end, popped it in the garage (which I have never done) and due to the joy of having a ramp and being able to look from underneath they found the O/S arb bracket was missing. I've fitted the new one this morning and the car now brakes exactly as...

God knows what welding your throttle means. Look at the small relays in the engine bay as they oftern cause this problem if faulty, seen it three times now. A bad gearbox earth will also do the same thing

Only just seen this sorry. Everything is different I fortunately. The heater box in the car and under the scuttle panel. If you strip the loom it's pretty simple though so shouldn't be too much hassle. As the looms for both types are risky available I would buy which ever suits

it's just the line. No banjos or anything as you don't need them!! Need an 11mm spanner and 14mm if I remember correctly. Some way of bleeding the brakes as well of course. I had Matt Lewis on my old track car and they were good. I now have toms matt lewis ones on my current car and they are...

Clios are the easiest car to clock. You change the clocks, that's it, no programming required. Not to say this car has had it done though; bar the decals it looks really good and I considered putting in an offer until I wasn't allowed more cars :(

Had a good contender for this and then it rained for half an hour and it all came off!

right now, didn't see if it was ph1 or two. Sounded nice!

big spline at the top, smaller splines at 120 and 240 degrees. It should only go on one way so you much have forced it. Easy fix though!

Yeah it sounds like if. If the needles are flickering it's likely the battery. Is your alternator charging correctly?

Doubt the clutch cable is causing it to drag. Similar thing happened to my lupo when the TB was a bit kaput

cheers @TimR26 I didn't see it in your first post but deposit now sent over. I'll get the list started then (User name, real name, car) 1. GrahamS, Graham, Clio DCi 65 (hopefully) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Non cup pack, chap driving, on the bit before the esso garage on the round about

Count me in. Send me the details for payment @AlexW @Martin. @Iain C @harvsurrey @GCC

You should never have to adjust the hand brake as it's got its self adjusters in the rear drum mechanism. Make sure they are free'd up. I had that with the door. Replaced the mechanism and it resolved. Also be very bery careful with brake nipples, they can very easily sheer. Hit them first to...

Would love to see how a rear 1/4 is replaced

anathracite wheels usually means cup pack suspension. Someone could have changed the spoiler I guess. My 182 with cup packs didn't have the splitter on the front either. Measure the hubs is the best way to check. Swapping the hubs for non cup is very easy though.

are the headlights working with the stalk or is it just the auto function? There are 3 relays under the glovebox which control the auto lights and one for the intermittent wipers. Unplugging the UCH won't cause it to have a problem. It is programmed to work with the ecu, key fob and decoder...

I will be down in bournemouth in 4 weeks and have clip so can plug in then if you want

With just the ignition on and without the engine running can you hear the position flap moving when you change the vent settings? See what I mean here

that is 100% the best way

Sportlines are good :)

How odd! The system works using resistance in the wire like this so I wonder what's happened. The 197 buttons are the same resistance as the 182 so I'd bet the laguna ones are okay. Believe the wire colours changed in the clios too

They look identical and I would take the small risk if I were you. Are you sure it's your buttons?

different dash top. when you swap make sure you swap the vin stickers

yeah the looms for the heating are completely different. When i retrofitted climate control to my car I could only use one or two of the original heater loom wires.

Don't be such a stinge! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIGITAL-MULTIMETER-CIRCUIT-TESTER-MULTITESTER-VOLTMETER-TESTER-ELECTRICIANS-/160737091237?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item256cad5ea5

check the earth for corrosion. Also check the fuse box, each side is independently fused.

Brakes I would check all of the ABS rings to see if they have splits in, if they do it causes the brakes to be absolutely terrible. Then I would wire brush the rear brake shoes, clean the drums, sand the glaze off the front pads and clean the discs. Should make a world of difference. Steering...

it wouldn't be obvious as the wire could have snapped and pulled away 1mm. Check the squib is working by putting a multimeter between the pins on the back of the squib (top 2) and the pins in the CC plug.

turn the car on and off and it should work. If it remains you may have damaged the cruise connector plug when taking the steering wheel off.
