had a similar problem years ago on a dynamique i had, had it sorted under warranty but think it was the relay.

yeh sometimes they self destruct and smoke comes out of your vents before the fan unit stops.

its the resistor pack, do a search there has been loads of threads on it.

yeh its the serv and airbag lights that would light up.

lol get ready for an exhaust full of oil.

does sound like a battery if its bumping ok, just not storing the power it seems.

have you had your steering wheel off recently? we had a problem with the steering position sensor with one once which was throwing up those lights.

looks great, wheels look smart, not a fan of the exhaust though.

are you getting genuine ones? Might just be bad luck, Lowering a car does put more strain on them but yours is hardly lowered and i remember fred saying they ran something extremely low and saw heavy track use, they lasted over 100k iirc.

For my office wall, looking for an arty type one, probably RS 172/182/v6 or a nice one for a meet, hoping for laura to print me it up once ive got a nice one.

its an easy one to break that one.you need to ease the red clip out. then iirc you pull the plug apart before its completely out.

sounds odd, where is it loose? across the front or under the wings?

saners old bus, looks well.

8 times out of 10 its the actual horn itself, and the other 2 times its the steering wheel slip ring. Get a multimeter and check its getting a feed, if so its the horn at fault, it is a very very common problem.

the bearing often collapses before the interval i would recommend doing the belt with the kit (comes with pulleys etc) its not cheap but if your aux belt does come off/break it nearly always (on the 172's and 182's) takes the cambelt with it and that means bent valves etc.

there is no warranty on electrical items from renault what he said.

look in your local phone book and go and see them, then you can get a look at work they're currently doing as well.

Likely to be written off, if you dont want it to be go to an independent bodyshop and get a quote and insist on using them should bring the cost to around 500-600.

Probably a furred up connector on the lamp holder to the cars loom but it doesn't usually cause complete failure.

are you getting it repaired?

were you not looking into the compatibility with another renault one mate?

Ive got a siren from a ph1 172 cobra alarm, if you do need one they are 15 pounds + Delivery.

Probs didn't see me mate, was in the red range with the trailer on :p

taking them to small claims court costs hardly anything mate and its extremely straightforward.

some of these look great, would like one of the engine one above the other way up so you can read the renault sport lettering. Would quite like pics of clios with the wheels off showing suspension etc as well or underneath.

from what i can gather its usually due to the bearing in the pulley failing. So you shouldn't really drive it until its been replaced, has the aux belt been done recently?

not really as he has clearly not been able to set it up working properly hence 'needs abs sensors'.

its your aux belt tensioner more than likely.

Hi chaps, looking for a bit of advice, are all the alternators on the 172's and 182's the same with exception of the cup? ive got a ph1 172 one but a chap on here has given me the number from his old faulty one and the numbers don't match. any advice appreciated. thanks

Its legal if you are just replacing your current clocks with ones with the same mileage.
