    Key fob Problem wont lock or unlock car

    If the red LED on the keyfob isn't working then chances are it'll be as per post #2, button on the PCB has busted or broken loose from the board. The fact the car starts with this same key says the imob is fine. I bet the CL button on the dash locks/unlocks the doors fine to... if so you need...

    I betthey still charged you! Get it looked at by someone that knows what they're doing... Not a franchised dealer ffs

    wipers broken any ideas

    Yes but you must 100% make sure the mechanism goes back on to the locating boss correctly. If you don't you'll either scratch or brek the screen. Mick

    Inconsistent Performance - 172 Cup

    These checks are standard with us on anything over an oil change... so £120-£230

    Inconsistent Performance - 172 Cup

    Guessing... never an expensive route to fixing a car is it? Shame the French know nothing about vehicles unless it's a tractor

    Broken 197 :(

    I'm not trying to start an argument/debate on the subject or saying in any way that the OP has been sat for months at idle. I was simply saying that a motors finite lifespan isn't measured in nor does it translate to miles covered by the vehicle. Mick

    Clock forgetting the time

    Had this on my 172 which turned out to be a fuse in the passenger compartment... I think it was a 10A

    Broken 197 :(

    Agreed but what you have to take into acvount is actual run time to. Its a motor at the end of the day and has a finite lifespan. Vehicle mileage doesn't translate to how many hours the pump has actually run for. That being said this does sound a bit premature. Don't write off Renault UK...

    Airbag/serv light, but not the usual

    More likely to be an issue with the resistors you've fitted to those trigger lines. Check your resistors. Mick

    Inconsistent Performance - 172 Cup

    Servicing plays a huge part and it is more than just screwing on an oil filter, replacing oil and replacing some elements. Electronic checks should include a cursory check of fault codes to see if anything has been flagged followed by a check of the live data to ensure things like...

    Hankooks

    I also ran the Hanks on my 172 in 195/50/16 but I had the S1 Evo (I believe the Ventus V12 is only available in 205/45/16) and they were nothing short of brilliant in both dry and wet conditiins and only found they suffered below 4°c... not as good as the PE2's but not the same price either.

    Waterpump lost a fin and it's lost forever.

    The pump draws coolant from the rad and pushes it round/thru the block and heater matrix.

    Waterpump lost a fin and it's lost forever.

    That will be lodged in the block somewhere... checked behind the stat/stat house yet? Tough call but I'd replace it
  18. MicKPM

    Bores scored... Is this block dead?

    Over bore not an option?

    Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

    Saw that... looked like she didn't have a clue either of them were there.

    Engine management light, windscreen replacement?)

    If the adhesive gel wasn't replaced or refitted correctly when the new screen went in it can cause an issue but that light could be on for any number of reasons and without plugging it in you won't really know why.

    air con question

    Another possible is the mixer flap/position motor as this can stop it achieving a true cold blow. Ideally though you need the HVAC system looking at on CLIP to see what is actually happening and what the computer is trying to chill at vs actual internal cabin temp. You can try other places...

    Starting issue

    If you're close by pop in and I'll plug it in for nowt.
  23. MicKPM

    Starting issue

    Shouldn't be a massive issue, possibly a faulty gear position switch. Quick session on CLIP will say if that's the case or not though. Mick

    FAO Mick, anyone who knows Scenics.

    Alternator uses a clutched pulley... new pulley required or a new alternator I'm afraid.

    Coolant temperature

    I've got this car coming in shortly so I'm sure Jonny will report back soon. As for yours, are you sure its been bled correctly? A faulty CTS won't normally cause the need to jump about like that. Live data will confirm/deny this.

    Accelerator doesn't work. Revs bounce up and down on idle.

    If it's the 8v D7F then the ECU is in a different place and so unlikely to be this. If though it turns out to be the 16v D4F then it is possible alomg with damaged/corroded ECU pins, bad earths, other loom issues. I don't even bother fixong these looms anymore I just replace them with new...

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Yeah I was suprised to. Apparently it's the 250 block and internals to so just needs injectors, bigger blower and a remap to be properly naughty.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Cheers i love it but its not as sexy as the Coupe (as much as I wanted the Coupe she wouldn't let me have my balls back long enough to make the decision to buy one).
