And MC never removes his helmet... Well, he does but you don't ever see his face.

That's one possible way to go yes but if you don't want it ("because race caaar") I can help you sort that... If you wanted? Mick

The wipers control function is controlled by the UCH and you can't touch it as its soldered to the board. Check for signs of water ingress as its a common failure Mick

You have a "short to positive" mate which is a live wire on that circuit touching metal. Firstly remove all the scuttle panel plastics and disconnect the multiplug to the wiper motor assembly. Here is where a DMM comes in handy as we use them to check for continuity but if you don't have one...

Yep, in that case then you have most likely killed the CanBus network but the good news is not permanently. I'm pretty sure that the main electrical earth for data services runs via the climate control panel and by removing it you've killed the earth. Do you have a decent digital multi-meter...

What's the alternator doing (output wise) whilst the engine is/was running as it may not be a battery fault?

We do them for £120 fitted

It was okay and nice to see MS spending some cash. I still hope they make a feature length movie involving the Cheif.

Okay, I'm going to take a stab in the dark here.... It used to have digital heater controls yes and you've now removed it (Since then, wipers playing silly buggers and a 4hz flashing LED)? Mick

I can't do this Sunday but if its a regular meet I can do the weekend after. The wife works odd shifts so I have to baby sit. Mick

I can do the 14th to

You need to think about what you want to do with the VVC to as you need to buy an ECU that can run it if you decide to keep it.

Just buy yourself a decent 2nd hand Emerald or Omex, DIY the loom and get it mapped. Edit - Sony TV's aren't what they used to be ;)

The phase 2 172 is 195/45/16 chap not 195/50/16. The ph1 runs a 15" wheel

Yep I've just refreshed all four corners on mine with 195/45's but I still had to check with Danny's clio trivia. If the car had 205's from factory though just bare in mind the electronics are configured for this size not 195's

LoLz

Just remember that the 195 rubber will reduce your rolling radius and marginally effect your speedo reading by about 2% It can be changed via CLIP if you're really bothered.

Check out Bin Diesel. Next he'll be telling us its not how you stand by your Renault

It may need a bloody good electrical check up to make sure the H02's, MAP, CTS, ATS are all doing there job correctly. Sometimes there's more to servicing than just changing oil and filters. Mick

Jesus, honestly why would you bodge something like that? The light is most likely on because you've put seats in to the car with a different equipment level and the SRS ECM is seeing unconfigured hardware so is making you aware that the system is unable to work correctly. In short it needs...

Clean IACV and Throttle Body - Done Just make sure you don't lose the seal for the IACV and that it goes back in right other wise the engine will race due to a leak. Mick

LoL, I love the Aussie banter - They can be harsh at times but as long as you try to fit in its all fun. Next time one gives you s**t just ask him if his sister has both her arms or if she lost one due to sleeping accent involving a bowie knife. Clear side repeaters needed though ;) Mick

Its a 172 Cup so be carefull... for some reason the genuine 172 Cup's suffer with throttle related age gremlins alot more than the FF variants. Was the live data actually checked and the values of Pedal Track '1 and Track '2 validated? There should be roughly no more than 8% difference between...

Pearl Black is for winners - FACT!!! Welcome to the club but if you start talking in that "Funny" accent that ex-pats put on then your barred ;) Mick

The world is really your oyster Omex, DTA, Emerald, Adaptronic, Gen90... It all depends on your budget and what features you want.

Auto correct iFail - Typo that caught on years ago... A few people still call me "Mink".

If its a regular thing I will pop along. Can't do this weekend though as I've got the little one (that's my daughter not Dave btw) Mick

Can't you re-arrange it for the week after? I'm busy to on the 7th. Mink

Same engine and belt run but you're proberbly right saying Renault changed it on the 200's rather than the 197's

You will enjoy this job, its ace! You need to remove the inlet manifold completely along with the fuel rail. Then, you need to unscrew the top covers then replace the seal before refitting in reverse. From memory the seal is a pain in the ass as its moulded and will only fit in one way but...
