    172 / 182 help needed in the Edinburgh area

    Pete, You put a post up asking for help with an "unknown electrical issue" then proceed to put up a list of just about every ignition related item under the bonnet stating it may be one of these but you don't actually post a description of the symptoms which you've encountered. I'm good...

    Spare Key Transponder > Car Alarm / Immobiliser / Central Locking Interaction Problem

    Re: Spare Key Transponder > Car Alarm / Immobiliser / Central Locking Interaction Pro Depends where you're based but it needs to go to someone who can code keys

    Strange intermittent cutting out.

    Reg isn't turning up anything on Renault WVS lookup but if it has "IDE" on the side bullets then it has what we call classic "IDE-AIDS" In layman terms the Fuel Pressure Regulator is failing when it gets hot so is seizing up internally allowing the fuel pressure to creep up without control...

    Does the "Steering Wheel" light on the dash come on, go off and stay off when you start the car?

    Spare Key Transponder > Car Alarm / Immobiliser / Central Locking Interaction Problem

    Re: Spare Key Transponder > Car Alarm / Immobiliser / Central Locking Interaction Pro As above, it's most likely unassigned to a vehicle but CLIP will tell you this.

    Megane R26 gearbox oil

    Yep! It's not a plated diff like the Gripper so doesn't *really* need anything special. Just put a GL4/GL4+ in, stop mincing about and driver the fookaz wheels off.

    Megane R26 gearbox oil

    On the TLX/PKX/NDX boxes I use TransELF 'NFJ' only and haven't had issues. Others are cheaper and *supposedly* better but if you stick to what the book says you can't go wrong.

    Still having airbag problems

    Check the length of the two front seat anchors. If one is shorter than the other it has fired. Diags will be your best bet chap

    HELP!! loud bang and engine revs up when dip clutch.

    Plugs should be NGK PFR6E-10 and to timesert the head would need to come off. Helicoil Vs Timesert argument has been done to death on here and on the Internet in general. My personal position - I hate Helicoils because they're pikey

    HELP!! loud bang and engine revs up when dip clutch.

    Sounds like they've been put in but not torqued up. You may be okay but ideally it needs a timesert (i hate helical but this would work to).

    HELP!! loud bang and engine revs up when dip clutch.

    Unlucky but you better check the others are secure to before the same thing happens. Have you tried putting a plug in?

    Hesitation At 5k , Sometimes It Kicks Sometimes It Doesnt

    Take it to see Dan@SJM - It needs a proper fault finding session on CLIP firstly to check all parameters are functioning correctly (Yes there are other bits of kit out there but non are 100% trustworthy as dealer level kit). This isn't the same as plugging it in and seeing if there are any fault...

    HELP!! loud bang and engine revs up when dip clutch.

    Does it start and rev okay? Engine sounds normal or like a tank? Sounds like either a gearbox or driveshaft/CV issue at the minute
