I had this on a customers scenic once before but that only seemed to do it in the wet. In the end we replaced the servo unit and that seemed to fix it (we've not had the car back so it's either fixed or the customer crashed). Firstly have the wheels off and make sure the callipers aren't...

Depends on the gearbox and flywheel fitted but the main question is why? I know you said it feels vague but seriously... It's a 1.2!!! Fit a new unit for the car and just don't waste any cash on trying to make it something it's not. Mick

Be carefully wire brushing the rear connectors as there's a live in the loom but yes, it's a poor earth causing the common problem.

Handbrake rachet fell to bits so rebuilt it... I can park on hills again now #result

LoLz - yeah, maybe

If its not the plugs I'd hazard a guess at the timing belt tensioner being incorrectly set.

If I can get my daughter off to sleep I'll come on for a laugh... You'll know me cos I'll be the one constantly dying!

You'd need to speak to a local Renault dealer about prices as we get a discount for buying in bulk so what I pay isn't what you'll pay. Regards branding Renault don't make them as as always the tensioner is a Littens unit, the belt is Gates and the idlers are BRS and INA. Mick

For information purposes really for those that care:- I've just received my latest weekly batch of F4R timing belt kits from Renault UK and once again those sneaky French buggers have made changes! No obvious changes to the belt or tensioner unit but now the rear (grooved) idler has gone to...

You took it a step too far last time Gray, that wasn't my hand!

What?!? Liam came with his 197 from Germany! You will have to make a decision though before the clock runs out and it doesn't matter who you take it to as long as you take it somewhere.

Crank sensor checked out next then

If they've charged you I'd be taking it back especially as they've not fixed it. I'd also be making it clear you aren't wanting to pay either

They charged you to! Holy fek, I need to be more business savvy.

So all these places have seen it but have been unable to make an actual diagnosis? A rear is unlikely to have an adverse effect upon steering but it could be a sticking brake pad or a bush, ball joint or other. Really needs looking at properly to be safe. Mick

Would need it plugging in really Steph but sounds to me like a crank sensor issue... But without seeing the live data it could also be something else. Did they really replace the ECU? LoL Mick Diamond Motors

Most likely cause (of the temperamental starting) is your alarm.

I'm based in Nottingham if it's not too far for you. CS members get 20% off labour and 10% off parts to. Mick Diamond Motors

Is that how you see me? LoLz

Can easily be fixed on CLIP... Just needs some config tweeks and the adaptives resetting.

What I really love about it is that this dish is priced at £9.99 each and it makes everything else on the menu look like a rip-off. The wife works alternate weeks and it's in the evenings. Who's managing the dates because I really want to come to this meat.

I'm up for this again... I have a cunning plan that will enable me to finish the chips this time.

Came out this morning to find a small patch of green fluid under my car. New thermostat and seal... Job done. Then I fitted a cat-back exhaust system to someone else's 182 but that doesn't really count.

Don't be so fast to blame the alternator for Either not charging or draining your batt as there's loads of things in a modern car that Could achieve the same result over 2-3days if left unchecked. Obviously you should do the basics yourself (check batt voltage when running then check alternator...

I've done a few of those Dan... Piece of piss on the 3.0dCi Once you strip all the plastics out the only thing you need to watch is the fuel pump mark as it walks slightly even when pinned. New tensioners and belt on, rip out the tensioner pin and your done... Thanks Isuzu. I also had to...

Entry was a joke and whoever the company was that was suppose to "manage" the flow of people trying to get in shouldn't be allowed to do it again as they just weren't pro-active. I always enjoy seeing people and meeting new club members but this year just didn't seem to work for me and i don't...

I remember you chap.... still got the coupe or did it go in the end? Also you emailed me earlier so i'll get the price to you ASAP. Just finished off a timing belt on a 3.0 Espace and i'm officialy D-U-N for the day because that wasn't fun.

Could even be a thermostat stuck/failed in the closed position (I had this with a 172 yesterday after fitting a new Renault item)... Really needs to be seen I'm afraid to offer an accurate diagnosis. Mick

Sounds like a release bearing/clutch fault to me. The car drives okay and the noise stops whilst clutch pedal is released and the vehicle is moving yes? If yes, rules out a gearbox fault - replace clutch kit If no, possible gearbox internal fault -remove an inspect. Mick

It'll depend what's actually wrong but from what you're saying I think you've possibly had water ingress which is common and takes out the components and the PCB... To be sure you'd have to remove the UCH and take it out of the hard case. Jonny makes a good point, a 2nd hand set will do you...
