Yeah it is cheap Daniel and i've been told several times by others on here that we should really be adding another £100 to the job but thankfully my overheads are small-ish compared to others so I don't have to make £3K a month just to break even. I'm off to see a new workshop later this morning...

Agreed Comrade Cubster - See the one we had yesterday which came in for belts & dephaser which was rattling (Or was it)? Diamond Motors Renault Specialists Ltd I appreciate that the cars aren't worth the £9k figures that they were years ago but still the job is the job and you can pay for...

Not going on the defensive here but some balance is needed to this discussion - Another minor point that is always overlooked on forums and FB groups (How I despair at the FB groups some days) is that we are legitimate trading business rather than DIYer's taking cash jobs in the evenings - A...

And there in lay your problem!

It's a red herring that cable - I've seen it many times and don't actually know myself what it is for. It is however nothing to worry about but I believe it is something for either an auto setup or an additional H02 sensor.

Check the earth to the back of the gearbox and the main earth strap between the gearbox and chassis rail is all I have. Other than that, I need to see it i'm afraid. Mick

As above, the passenger seat unit and pre-tensioner unit have both fired which will have logged "Crash Context" data meaning the SRS ECU will need replacing/resetting (See Tachosoft in the traders section as this is a service they offer). It may also be worth having the car plugged in on some...

If you have Xenon lights unplug the ballast pack, replace the fuse and see if it blows after that. It still sounds like a live is going to ground though rather than a component fault.

The multifunctional display is illuminated and responds to command button on the wiper though?

There is no "nut" per say, you need the panel clip that hold the cable in place. Can buy them from Renault or an RC model shop

It's a short to + so nothing to do with the earth. You need to find where on that live feed is touching metal (Thus blowing the fuse) or which component is pulling too much current. To do this you will have to do some old fashioned work i'm afraid.

Have you done the lower idler bearing up correctly?

£4k is just too much to shell out mate. It's nice but whilst I'm not a car sales man there's no meat to be had here (for me at least). After buying it for what I want I'd be lucky to break even breaking it. Would sooner buy what I need and not have the hassle

Are you trying to make me your Padowan learner? As much as I'd love a Cup i'm sticking with the Black thing I've got. Looking at a set of Titans later but would sooner give my money to someone I kind of know.

I'd be interested in the Jenveys and Gen90 if you break it.

Renault recon unit is about £153 then an aux belt kit and no more than 2.5hrs labour to change

The top mounts cannot create a noise though (unless part of the assembled mounting unit is free to move) due to them being "solid" - are you sure it's not worn dampers or other part on the suspension/steering causing the noise? Did you buy them new? How old are they? Mick

Simple - you have a short to + somewhere on that line. Done anything to it recently?

Make sure the main mount body is tightly bolted to the strut top. Then, the most common one, make sure the damper bolt is properly tight

Sounds like.something is loose to me. Had my PMS kit for a year now and has never knocked or made a banging noise once.

It's fragile and is fed round to the indicator stalk. I use a fine steel pick to pry it out but anything pointy will do the job.

Did you use a hefty rattle gun on that?

That's only because you crashed yours :p

Start at the pedal and follow it back to the ECU. I cannot give you wiring diagram though otherwise my access will be removed

On a 172 Cup this is 100% a wiring fault and 100% NOT a pedal or TB fault so if you have cash to throw away i'll send you my paypal details and you can load it up as much as you feel like. It's normally due to a connection fault either at the TB itself or somewhere between the pedal and the...

Those codes mean less than nothing to me, they look like Hex. If the descriptions are right then the system configuration is incorrect

I can understand where Danny is coming from as by law any automotive workshop that has more than 200l of waste oil stored physically on site has to register with the environment agency as a "Dirty" site (This costs £14 per year). Failure to do so and any insurance you have covering the property...

LOL I wish... would possibly be worth something then.

Worst "I want to steal a Clio" troll ever Brick + Glass... old fashioned but still works

Re: Anyone know what Renault charge for *just* a cambelt change, literally nothing el My Megane III GT is on 8k/12 month intervals now after I reprogrammed the service clocks because I feel 18k/24 months is just too long for a turbocharged vehicle to be running on the same oil. The sister -...
