It won't put up with the s**t I have to lol

Basically the valve is there and plumbed in to the system but the rod that connects it to the rear beam (which alters the bias based on rear ride height) is not there or connected so it's constantly at MAX flow. What does tend to happen on the 172 Cup though is this bias valve seizes up, usually...

Tom, if you have black insert lights rather than grey then we can probably deal.

As Chip said above these engines vary so much and mileage is really not a good indicator of condition either (I've seen ring seal issues on sub 60k cars yet my 164k unit is still going strong). If you're really serious about spending money on that engine to extract more power I'd suggest you...

Depends on what package you buy but the cheapest legitimate CLiP is around £2300+vat.

Manifolds, cam profiles and mapping iirc

I can't honestly answer that as a definative yeah (but most likely yes)

Ah right, that explains why the rear plate has been fitted wonky! (I bet you looked)

FFS Clean it!

Then that's your problem... inconsistent values between the two pedal tracks. You need to scope the two tracks and see if its a spurious signal (Pedal fault most likely cause) or values out side expected ranges (Most likely due to a wiring or connection fault) Mick

Just helps pay for the time when Steve with his "my mate down he pub can fix it for pennies" comes knocking looking for a hand out ("Come on, you plug it in and thats it"... well you buy one then **** knocker!)

I think what Tony was trying to say was scare it with the sight of a hammer and then check the connections at the horn itself (In the NSF wheel arch area) as they are prone for getting crudded up which causes your problem. Then again, he may have just been trying to see if you'd actually take a...

We charge £40+VAT for CLiP diagnostics but if we are asked to do any repair(s) we discount the cost in full

Headlamps rarely survive postage which is strange because they seem to survive the seriously bumpy road conditions.

Ney bother, but I'd take the full registration down now ;)

Same engine as the Ph2 V6 Clio yes and a better turning circle that the Clio V6 to lol

Engine: D4F712 Gearbox: JB1513

Why no p**n on the walls or a telephone ringing every 5 mins with the typical "I'm just after advice"? Not a very realistic Sim is it.

Something obviously not right with the stereo circuit then AJ. Remove the wiring and then check the cars loom is functioning correctly with the aid of a multi-meter.

At cranking speed on the K9K the fuel pressure will be more than safe enough to open the injector union and you only "crack" them open a smidgen till you see fuel. I don't think the pressure regulation program will allow it to run anyway as it will detect the general pressure loss at the main...

Keyless belts aren't anything new Fred Kay, Ford also use them on the Zetec petrol engines and the aux tensioner may cost a fortune if purchased anywhere other than Renault but as of yesterday a 197 aux kit is around £48

An independent inspection shouldn't invalidate your warranty as the belt has snapped... no court in the land would accept that as a reason to rule in the garages favor. Have you spoken to the guys that did the belt change yet? (Note I said "Spoken" and not "Shouted at")

The switch has an internal latch which holds it in the required position. You can replace the switch if you like with a new one from Renault but I would personally just pull the switch to bits, bend the flat spring slightly and then rebuild it.... works everytime!

This is a 197 though and tensioner failures are not as common as they are on the 172/182... belt kit still needed changing though at the time of the timing belt and i'm leaning towards Freds summary of the situation in that the initial garage has ballsed the job

They are spring loaded yes but that has no bearing on thee switches two contact latches being open or closed. The devil with these switches are in the setting up

I'll give you that one

Maybe... maybe not... meh

Most likey outcome - It needs to be configured
