Do not bring that to me then Graham, I'm sick of rack bushes this week and I can't feel my finger tips lol

Its becoming more and more common now. Not cheap either!

Like I said, sneaky sneaky with this one but you can buy these new sensors direct from Bosch for a bit less than RUK (but its only a bit). Glad you sorted it though

Awww, what's up hunny?

Looks more like its dropped a valve or two

Genuine belt kit comes with both types of crank pulley bolts... I only ever use these so can't comment on the other kits.

Ahh Clowne, fond memories of the welfare club on a Friday/Saturday night.

Oh this is gonna be great! Here's a hint... Crank pulley bolt (M14) needs to be tightened up to 120Nm then a further 95° (+/- 15°) Get it wrong you need to rebuild the top end - enjoy!

Suprised the electrical fault light isn't on in that case as that's a fair bit of movement for tracks 1 and 2 to see yet the throttle not respond. I'd start with looking to get a proper diagnostic session carried out by someone that knows what they're on with because that is clearly not right.

Clio III is notorious for springs snapping. Replace the lot with a decent set of lowering springs by Eibach and improve the cars looks whilst adding components that will last a fair while or replace just the the front one with a cheap spring and see you again in one month when the other front...

Re: Archived Post from old forum You've brought 2003 back to life! Honestly, I'd suggest starting yourself a new thread asking for help with this issue. Mick

1.2 water pumps are timing belt driven mate so not an issue.

Aftermarket leads (specifically Magnecores) by any chance?

Yeah just a morning for the complete front end removal of a Megane III to undo a component that's held in by three f**king bolts.... !!!RAGE!!!

The AST product range on the whole is a cracking bit of engineering and its properly finished. If you want to spend £1400 then do it but they will be punished like any coilover on a road car. This is why I personally went the BCR route as it was £770 vs £990/1400

No that was a different car, that drove away. Mine needed its aux belt and plug service. I guess the A/C compressor bearings just decided they'd quit as there's more movement in the bearing race than in Syria... knocking its tits off now so I'm driving it nowhere till the replacement arrives and...

Too soon.... too bloody soon lol

FLOL - want a job?

The sensor location itself is also bloody tight to the underside of the floor on the 197/200 so unless you've got ramps (and a proper H02 removal socket) you'd proberbly be better off paying to have it done. Renault for the part (or use the oe part number to get the Bosch slightly cheaper...

From what you've said I suspect a lead fault - Its not a scientific explanation nor is it a promise that it will 100% be the leads but the fact you seemed to have cured it for it to return again later says its not likely to be an injector fault.

You're welcome to come up and have a look and play in mine if you fancy. I think you're a bit too far away for that offer to seem attractive though unless you're planning on going to the Javlin day at Donnington in November? EDIT: BC do offer a refurb service yes

If its of any help the BCR's are doing great on my own Clio - Bloody love them!

You may have no choice but to go for the genuine Renault item i'm afraid. There's nothing wrong with the NGK/NTK product range, it's quality but Renault were sneeky sneeky with these sensors around 2008 and updated the general wiring looms across the range to use a slightly different connector...

Alternator is goosed chap

Yep including the dead/clicking starter. Don't worry about the fuses with mussing wires. They have an internal common track giving them +12v

And what a colour to... two thumbs up from me, I need something RB in my life.

Adam, you really need to know exactly what is causing the solid red light before you can even begin to tackle this one (or even be in the fight). Unless there is an obvious wiring fault you are going to need some kind of network scanner like CLIP that can tell you where the fault lay but my...

Not to mention its a pain in the ass to mix up to the correct specification beforehand. As Fred said above, just buy yourself 5l of Renault Type-D and be done.

£120-150 is the going rate to supply and install the aux drivebelt kit on an A/C equipped vehicle and you can't really trust anyone IMO unless it's been earnt over time.

When is the next outing Phil? I know Gray does these and said its a good meet.
