Its essential yes not optional. Its your car so do what you want really but when it breaks dont you dare claim Renaults are crap! Lets do the basic maths:
Change belt properly £340 (£560 with a dephaser pulley). Car runs happily for the next 5yrs/72k miles.
Don't change it and then when it...
You want to be sure of two things before that sensor is replaced. Firstly, that the ecu is seeing actual "atmospheric" pressure when the engine is off (normally around 101kPa) and then a slight vacuum when running at idle (as an NA engine creates this when breathing).
If you're not seeing...
I like the Tilton lever types to as they onky have a certain number of preset positions to.
If you're not worried about regulations it can go anywhere you like. I've got mine at the rear of the handbrake bracketry in the 19.
Sounds like a wiring fault mate as a solid light isn't an actual imobilliser fault, it's the imob being told to stay active despite the key being authorised to start the vehicle because the CAN pre-requisits aren't being met.
Check the x3 blade fuses in the engine bay fuse box to as these can...
Thing is though Tom my Note2 cost me just over £400 new and sim free. Whats the current price on a Sim free iphone 5 with 32gb or 64gb (£600-700)?
They may not have that "premium build quality" that Apple devices since the iphone 3 have had but they're by no means utter shite either...
For most tasks I don't know why enthusiasts and DIYers don't have something like this in their tool boxes. They're only good for use on engine management but they're mega cheap and can save you a bit of $$$
You should be able to work these out easily with the aid of a multi-meter.
Earth will be common and go to ground all the time.
Feed is a switched voltage that comes on with the key via the main control relay
Process of elimination leaves the line back to the ECM... DMM continuity test...
He was too busy watch some yob in a silver clio with white wheels constantly going on the WW2 tarmac lol
I still think he put the flag out because we were getting a bit carried away.
I know you didn't and Fred woukd say set it on fire if its got electrical problems of any kind.
You will need small hands to do it without the bumper off but it is possible. The early compressors had a two wire connection (+12v and a perma GND) but the newer units (182's and some late 172's)...
Clio III RS with sticking handbrake problems you say... lolz
If the handbrake lever is pulling high then chances are its either a snapped cable or a calliper mech has failed. First thing to do is get under the arse end and check the cable ends are there. If not replace the cables, if so make...
I'm not Fred or Chip but as someone who "dabbles" with these things on a daily basis I'd advise you start with proper conformity session on the A/C system.
It could just be the main connection to the compressor clutch is corroded up and a clean will see it set again but it could also be a...
He wasn't sure how the perforated material would turn out on the thumb grips (having never tried it before) but its turned out really well.
That cost £140 including him sending it back via next day service... he also replaced a cruise button that got broken my end.
Just search for "snappy" in...

Just had my standard wheel back from Snappy who did some perforated refurb work for me:
Massively impressed with the materials used, the finished quality and the overall service from him.
Many thanks Andy, I love it
