You don't go full r****d and spray it everywhere. Just a small application on the upper edge will be enough to allow the contact point to pick it up!

okay, the timing tool set they've sold you as genuine Renault tooling is 100% NOT genuine Renault tooling. Renault tools all have an "MOT-XXXX" prefix stamped in to them and are always of a hardened steel construction rather than the mild steel rubbish in the links above. Tool numbers have been...

Officially the crash context data cannot be cleared but you can have someone (eBay is a good source for this service) who can rewrite the code so it doesn't contain the context data. I believe this costs around £25 but I've seen some come back with completely incorrect configurations (i'm...

Yes, they are correct. Just make sure you have access to a spark plug removal tool as these cars need a long and narrow 14mm plug socket IIRC

The light is on because there is a fault somewhere on the system. I would take the car somewhere that has CLIP access and have then run a network test firstly and go from there as you're not going to fix this without some proper equipment I'm afraid. We're in Nottingham if that helps? Mick

Can be done without loosing too much box oil if you're quick. Simple enough job to.

The clockset needs a CAN signal from the SRS module in order to turn the light off. If the module has been removed you will never get it to turn off with modifying the clockset PCB layout and removing the SMD LED

I use brake cleaner and a tough bristled brush for things like this... i use brake cleaner on most things lol

Dirty window channel. Clean it out and maybe give it a quick blast with some silicone spray.

It could yes

Not an overly difficult obstical to over come. Firstly confirm the wiring is in place then add the track.

No, lol, the clocks on a diesel don't range as high on the tacho as a Diesel doesn't rev to just shy of 8k. A Petrol will range from 0 - 8k where as a diesel only ranges from 0 - 6k. The clockset has a motor which controls the movement of the tacho needle which works off a resistance based...

I miss the simplicity of the older cars. I cannot wait to get a Mk1 in my life again.

They're pretty precise readings to be taken with a Gunson lol Not bad readings and within 10% so no need to worry about valve or ring seal issues.

Yes it can be done but: Rev counter range will be wrong If you have digital type clocks you will need the UCH configuration updating for analogue type display.

In the case of the 172 Cup (which doesn't have ABS) it's as simple as the bulb not being there (put a non-Cup clockset in its place and the ABS light is always on).

I'd just pull the clockset out to see if there's a bulb in position and if not fill it.

They do

You got a copy of the rules and regs to hand? I'd read into it as most people that play with the standard loom do more harm than good as they simply do not understand CAN BUS

If you're doing all this to a genuine competition vehicle then you'd be absolutely stupid to not use aftermarket management and drop all standard looms in favour of proper competition wiring with just the basic circuits for power, lights and cut-offs

Speak to Paul at RS Tuning.

That was going to be my next port of call. It's deffo not a case of turning it on as an option but i'm sure a software reflash would add it. I'd need a donor car to experiment with though to be able to say for sure.

It should already have it and if not it may be worth having your clockset bulbs checked.

That's a Gates timing belt kit and an auxiliary drive belt

I've seen one explode before but that wasn't anything to do with the pulley itself. Normally they go noisy and stay noisy and just effect power delivery and fuel consumption.

There's no law that states how long a dephaser pulley will last i'm afraid. One variable that seems to make a huge difference is regular oil and filter changes but I'd personally expect a 100% new dephaser to last a good three to five years with proper regular servicing (Minimum once a year IMO...

Yeah we can sort that if you have the C2i's written down

sbridgey I don't think she'll make it this one lol

You've read the manual regarding the use and function of this system yes? As the vehicle is under warranty I'd take it to your nearest dealer and be done.

Normally I'd agree Oscar but I've just checked a 182 for a customer which had a terrible idle and poor fuel economy and the belts were done by a main dealer (not my place to name drop either party but they are on CS). It was wrong, simple but to make matters worse the cam setting points were...
