Renparts as per my thread but one was wrong..............they sorted super quick tbh
Bear in mind though, they aren't getting stock straight from Marelli ATM and have been sourcing from ECP etc

Not smoke tested bud and also adaptations not reset.
Hey @Simon998 bud.....that is looking like the only option but it's fairly easy and quick to swap and check. Will give you a shout bud. Appreciate it

Hi bud......Renparts were super and replaced the incorrect injector overnight basically. So full set of new injectors in and idle (with 98 Ron henk map) still bumbled down to 760 rpm, almost surging up to 900ish and back down....all the time in traffic..... was doing it this am and every time I...
Also fairly proud of my hand-crafted-without-a-welder aux belt tool.
Just undersized a square hole in b and q finest hunk o metal and pressed a bolt that I ground to 10mm square into it with a vice.
Made a second 10mm fitting with a different angle as I couldn't work out which would work...
So.......uhh........well, I gave the pas sensor a clean to see what's what.
Umm
Yeah. Was wet after a few quick left-rights.
Scary bananas. Definitely trying to make a bit for freedom @STEVE.M
New one on way.

Hey @clio_ross
That was one of the things that i did replace in this veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long thread :)
Mine was starting to spin freely (marked it with tipex and noticed they had spread after one day). I was also able to super-duper check the timing when I was doing this
Cheers for the...
Any way to verify the belt/tensioner for sure before buying the lot and realising its the pump and having tensioned a belt already?
Tried a wee huff of wd40 on the belt and it didn't stop the racket when i tried earlier
If we do end up down that path, any of you lovely lot have a pas pump...
lol................yeah..............RenaultPartsDirect have had a fair bit of my money to date anyway.........what's a few more quid.
Will probably need the wheel bearing (or any other part it changes to) as well if it keeps up like this so that is no problem :D
It's an odd...
I know you are man..... I do appreciate it.
P.s. pas pump is now on the list too as I think it may be the thing that squeals and not the belt.
THIS IS GREAT ISNT IT?
Hmm....yeah, ever so slight increase in rpm when I bridge the pins.
I bet this is more noticeable without the RSTuner 98 Ron map........pretty sure my switch is doing toss all so will replace that.
And I thought Santa cost money?
Hmm......I did not do that.................err............................it was Simon's fault :D
We were probably talking too much.
Ok, so car warm.....................i hop in and press the pedal to bring the car to say, 1700rpm..............after a couple of seconds it will drop to say...
Hey @JamesBryan yes.....and when I do I can hear it clicking. It was just odd that below 2k how it was impossible to hold steady revs with the throttle.
I was able to do this just fine in Simon's car.
Above 2k no worries.
J
Will do @Louis
Its new so would hope there is no issue with that.
Met @Simon998 today.....good meeting you buddy. I think he feels I am a bit mental about this :)
Another oddity....perhaps normal but let's see if it might be related.
If I press the pedal lightly....in this case held with a screwdriver against the seat I.e. constant pressure.... it will not....it just won't sit at a single rpm value.
It is possible over 2k although there is some...
Just thought I would add something else for the fun of it.
Been reading the workshop manual like a bedtime novel....Lol.....my power steering switch is leaking....not loads....tiny weep....but.... The manual says that this should lift the revs when steering pressure is detected....
Mine does...
