Normal current drain is around 30 milliamps with the vehicle locked. To drain the battery in 12 hours must be some current drain to do that. you really need to rig up an amp meter then find the drain by disconnecting items until the large drain drops. Start with commen items like alternator and...

you would never know unless it was done very recently and you removed the covers to see if the tensioners look new. As far as i know gen renaults belts only come in a kit.

charcoal canistor sounds familiar. if i remember right you can adjust it to cure the noise. As for the second problem is it more noticable in damp/wet/slippy conditions or surfaces? if so i think you'll find it caused by the tyres slipping and the wobble sensation is when they grip. Never had...

£38 parts then o.6hrs labour so around £70-80 all in

x reg thats clio 2 yes. it will be a d7f or d4f engine so mpi

ive got that i/k and seems ok to me

yep as above a flush may revive it. if not completly flush/clean the cooling system and fit a new matrix.

press the brake pedal down,put a feeler blade probably about 1mm between the switch and the pedal. as the pedal comes up it will adjust the switch in automatically by 1mm or whatever thickness blade you've used. repeat until your happy with when the brake lights work. if you go to far just pull...

same applies to the aircon compressor pulley as well

follow your top radiator hose to the cylinder head. the hose goes onto a ally part which is held to the head by two 10m bolts. undo these bolts and pull of the ally part to access the thermostat.

magnex are quiet and also jetex. take it back they should honour a new one seeing as you've only had it a couple of days.

think you'll probably have to buy a complete pedal kit not sure what is avaliable seperatly. Not expensive though just a little tricky to fit.

basically an rsi rear axle and handbrake cables

the valves on the new engines are very easy to bend so i doubt if a cambelt snap could cause any damage to big or small ends etc. compare yours to another,cant somebody here meet you or something?

its not just the gearbox thats broke he's blown the engine as well. kept me in work for quite a while till he got skint and now he's trying to do more things himself instead.

is it a phase 1 or 2?

gotta agree them wheels are rank

there is a couple of v6 kicking around town. i did one on the bypass myself and he wasnt happy. he is from north wingfield,hasnt got a private plate though.

no 172 cup has abs. a couple of late on cups did have aircon as it was an extra option if requested.

work from the top down so first suspect looks like the cam seal and change the cambelt

new gaitor about £30. you cant use the car now because your losing gear oil so you might as well take the shaft off whilst its jacked up. changing the gaitor is simple enough and youll need some gear oil (up to 3l)

im off work till next week so cant check the diagram but you need to check the voltage out of the stalk on the full beam track. if you dont sort anything by next week pm me.

yep sounds like a cv joint. Is any of your cv joint gaitors split so highlighting the suspect one (run dry). Renault shafts sometimes are a reasonable price so worth a quote. on the other hand you might be unlucky cos sometimes the prices are a joke.

a motor factors or exhaust centre will stock a variety of mounts/rubbers

just unlucky there mate as the tensioners/idlers havent given much problems. always best to change them with the belt though as you say

cant you bore out the hole in the rubber mount with a rough file or something similiar

so the noise changes with speed? does it get louder if you apply more throttle? does the noise quiten if you free wheel in nuetral? does the noise occur in every gear?

im going to change mine at 60k. Never had a 172 belt snap at mileages like 36k where it was just the cambelts fault. The main thing is the aux belt shredding and going into the cambelt. A lot of people dont realise this has a interval change of 36k

there not that quiet anyway so get a mechanics opinion if i was you.

whereabouts on the engine? belt area,cam cover etc
