Its turned its self off now, happy days

Time will tell I suppose

Yeah is not like you'd be gutted at losing cruise control and feel you just had to get down to Renault to get the fault code deleted

Thanks I will get one if it doesn't clear soon. So no cruise control then why's that?

I can never understand why anyone would want to do this, after the engine swap all the suspension and brakes would need upgrading to make it the same driving experience.then there is declaring it to your insurance company which would surely cost more than a standard 172. Then you either put up...

Where is it £14, Renault? Is that a typo- Renault clip? Think i'm being stupid

Ah does that mean i've got to stare at that hoping its not a new fault until I can clear it? Anyone near Hereford able to help me out?

Is that the hold down trip while turning ignition trick?

Solved my misfire with a new injector but the engine management light is still on, can this be cleared or is it something else?

Ha I've fixed it, Budgie you were right.

Yeah at least I know they've done 0 miles

Next question, new single injector or second hand complete?

Are 172 and 182 injectors the same?

cheers mate felt like it would but luck isn't on my side today so didn't want to chance it. I think I need a new one because regardless of switching plugs it remains the same cylinder

Can I swap/remove a single injector on my 182 to isolate if one is blocked?

I hope its one or the other and not worse, cheers mate

Ok so its cylinder three that's not firing ie no change when injector unplugged so am I right in thinking its either a spark plug or injector fault? Swap a plug over then I suppose

I'm going to try unplugging injectors one at a time

Oh and it didn't appear to make any difference to the firing

Right done that and i'm getting a spark on all four leads at the coil end and one hell of a belt myself ha ha! So they can only leave plugs or injectors right? Wow i'm buzzing now

Yeah original ngks on 54k , can't decide whether to order a new coil and plugs and hope?

hmm.. How can I check which cylinder its not firing on? Do I need to run it with the inlet manifold off so I can get to the plugs?

Damn predictive, all FOUR!

Tried replacing what I thought was dodgy leads (kindly supplied by Adam) but it is still not firing on one cylinder. Could the coil be faulty or would that just not fire at all?

What is a uch?

Leads on order from Adam, go from there

Dead coil?

Spoke too soon, it seems to be intermittent so does that point to the leads and rule out coil as I've checked all connections. It was fine yesterday but my battery is a due replacing too, this can't be related can it? Dom

The days when you actually created things in real life

See I said it looks like meccano!
