Possibly the TDC pick up. Fits on top of the gearbox close to the engine. Bit fiddly to get to but if you disconnect the plug and then re-connect it when it doesn't start, and then it does start, you have found the problem. Hope that helps. Sorry if the post is a bit vague, but you will see...

Easy when you know how. Like anything really. Special tools are required for the rear brakes but the front pads are fairly straight forward. If in any doubt, don't attempt the job. Your life and others maybe as risk if you botch the job. Hope that helps.

It's a carbon canister for collecting petrol tank fumes. Under certain conditions the injection ECU will operate a valve and suck the contents into the inlet to be burned off. Left broken will allow fumes from your tank to vent to atmosphere. You may also experience a bit of a flat spot when...

If it's auto, then that will be a different ball game! I would need to look up the speedo interface for an auto. I will get back to you tomorrow. Laters BobRTE

Is it an import? They don't have alarms fitted as standard. Just a thought BobRTE

Hi Sugar79 1. Speedo not working is possibly due to the transducer fitted into the gearbox where a normal speedo would fit. Remove and refit the electrical connector and see if this cures the problem. If not, buy a new transducer. 2. Humming noise is possibly the alternator working harder when...

Thinking of buying one of these for my wifes' Christmas present. Anyone got one and if so, what are they like? Cheers, Bob

Security warning. You should block out your reg number! PPL could clone your reg and stick it on their blue Clios Speed cameras / red light cameras / red light districts! I think you get the point.

Hi Spirez I have them to on my Clio and yes they can be a bit tempremental! Sometimes they just dont work and I need to reset the wiper switch, or on other occaisions they just go mental! Generally they work really well! Bob RTE

yes - no sarcasm

Sorry - got confused! I expected a picture of Jacko with his monkey! Laters Bob RTE

Hi Gunner HOW TO CHANGE YOUR OIL AND FILTER ON A CLIO 1.2 16V. 1. Run the engine to operating temperature. 2. Remove the drain plug from the sump. (8mm square drive required) 3. Allow the oil to drain into a suitable container until the flow has stopped. 4. Unscrew the oil filter...

With or without auto headlamps, if you try and flash your headlamps when they are on, with a one flick action, the lights will go to main beam. They only FLASH with the lights off. The reason the lights turn off when and if you stall is to preserve battery power to enable a restart. I...

5 Cylinders and a VERY DODGY VIN! As far as I know, all Renault VIN numbers start with VF1 then the model code. Like EG. VF1CB0M0512345678 etc. Stay well away! Looks like a con to me! Bob RTE

12,000 miles or 2 years for 172s & Cup or 18k/2yrs for all other Clios. Accessory belt every 36k (172s & Cup only). Cambelt every 72k all models. Pollen filter (AC only) every 12k/18k depending on model. Coolant/brake fluid 4years. Air bag systems every 10 years. Hope that clears...

I think I know where you have gone wrong here. Firstly, did you set the multiplex network computer to NO REAR WIPER? Secondly, did you also alter the parameter for additional pop up boot interface connected to rear wiper (false) if not then you should have set it to (true) Thirdly, did...

There is a special tool required to remove the axial ball joints attached to the rack. Buggered without it! Sorry! Ask your local dealer if you could borrow the tool. They will probably tell you to f**k off though!

This is sheer quality! Cant begin to imagine how long it took you to write the lyrics! I play Bass guitar if that helps! Count me in! LOL Bob RTE

Hi Pootle 172 It could be any number of thing connected to the airbag system that has caused the warning light to come on. Invariably it is the seat belt pretensioner wiring under the seats. It will be necessary to actually disconct the connector and then snap them back together. Please...

Hi Phil Whats your problem? Let me know what area you need a manual for: Engine, gearbox, chassis, body, elcetrics etc. See what I can do. Bob RTE

Hi Tom Could be a worn out clutch release bearing. Cant be sure without hearing the noise though. Bob RTE

This normally happens in damp or wet conditions. Its just the pads sticking to the discs. As you drive off, a loud bang can be heard from the back as the pads release from the discs. Is this what you are experiencing? Laters Bob RTE

Hi Ben J Ive been fixing this water leak on Clios since 1990!! Nearly always the aerial! Why dont ppl listen??? Laters Bob RTE http://www.bobfriend.btinternet.co.uk/logo.gif

Renault do not recommend any head skimmimg on this engine. Do it at your own peril! Bob RTE

The aerials are a normal source of the water leak. Take it out and apply silicon sealer around the base and refit, making sure you tighten it sufficiently. Wipe away the excess sealer before it goes off! Secondly, the inner seals can become detached. Make sure its correctly set in the channel...

Hi Ben!!!! I think you are taking the P**S! We all know the full microcellular jounce bumper are currently on back order!!! LOL Bob RTE;) http://www.bobfriend.btinternet.co.uk/logo.gif

2s not bad! Pump is located in the washer bottle. (Engine removal not entirely necessary! but the wiper linkage will have to be removed!) Lots of peeps (probably!) Bob RTE http://www.bobfriend.btinternet.co.uk/logo.gif

More than likely a low brake fluid level. Check your brake fluid ASAP and look at your front pads for wear. As the pads wear out, the fluid level drops. You may also want to a have a cursory look around the inside of your wheels for signs of brake fluid leakage which will also bring on the...

YES YES & YES! Get it down to your local dearler for repair, prob just the pump knackered! Bob RTE
