Ant, Possibly a few things occurring here but there's only one you will be able to check yourself I'm afraid which is the fuse for the UCH in the passenger side of the dash. It's a 5A that powers the decoder ring and is pretty common for causing imob issues. Anything else you're going to need...

Some dealers are great and others not so great. I've been dealing with a Megane II today that went to a local Renault franchise to have a new alternator... A pretty standard job for any garage (you'd think). They fitted a non-genuine unit which in itself isn't an issue as people generally don't...

I can't believe how fast you pair work. May have to set you on myself LoLz

Mick, have they offered to take on the cambelt change at a special rate for you as an act of good faith? Seriously, your last Renault had a timing issue that was caused by poor workman ship that got it wrong and that was on an F7R which are childs play in comparison to the F4R. Its your car...

Its worth every penny to... I'm not on the payroll but hnoestly, it is! I give CS members 20% off any/all labour in my workshop just for producing a valid card and others do similar so dig deep... its only £12 Mick

I think he's saying good looking Dutch ladies with Mk1 Clios excite him ;)

Yeah I've got a few friends that live in DH and we normally end up staying in an appartment just around the corner from Gaucho's (The girls like to go shop so we stay where the shops are meaning the boys can drink and eat Turkish keebabs without venturing too far from where we all live). I've...

I wish they were all that fast. Can't wait to see this done just for pure fun... It reminds me of James23's naughty F4R powered Scenic I

Not really no but I've noticed it has gone really crap though. I think they're hinting we upgrade to their fibre network that costs.

I tried that line in your McDonalds whilst waiting for you one time... Amazing discount ;)

It really does depend on what yours actually needs but the one thing you really need to be sure of with rebuilt tubos is that they've been properly balanced up. They core spins at silly speeds and the slightest inbalance causes damage that has potential to send pieces of turbo into your bores...

I never get tired of seeing a Mk1 rear end lifting a shoe... They just look epic! Where in NL are you from? I always keep an eye out for old diamonds when I go to Den Haag but they seem to be rare (probably because owning a car in NL isn't cheap). Anyway, welcome to CS and enjoy your stay. Mick

I didn't know this either Chip - might have to open up my 19's outer hole now.

I've always used Midland Turbo but depending on where you are they may not be the best choice.

Wrong bolt used, damaged hole? Pics of reversed plan please.

I've got a a few spares such as un-damaged pistons and rods if you don't want new. Mick

We do the job for £560 and am only up the A50 in Long Eaton Mick

Honestly, you will be fine with 3litres of that stuff unless it's a complete bare bone strip, rebuild and reinstall of the box. In truth, even then it wouldn't kill it to be 0.1l under

Barry, it doesn't matter if it's CLIP, AutoLogic, SPX, Snap-On or a cheap eBay reader... If you don't know what you're looking at you won't find a problem. I'd be very surprised if "code reading" put an accurate finger on a misfire issue on a Clio II All I'm saying is you get what you pay for...

TB out and give it a good clean. That should sort it. Mick

We are in Nottingham and CS members get it done for £380... You will need to become a fully paid member though (currently £12 a year) Mick Diamond Motors

The 75w/90 oil and volume are both fine as 3.1l actually overflows the fill point on most boxes as its actually quite hard to fully drain them (as does 3l). Mick

Sweeeeeet

I'd be tempted to get it checked over fully and save wasting cash. As Dan has already suggested, a compression test and even a timing check would be a good place to start but a quick session having the live data checked properly by someone that can read the Matrix may reveal something out of...

Check the plug is still connected to the throttle body

Better brakes innit... Come on Fred

You can replace the stem seals without removing the head... I've done a few petrol units now without taking the head off but as above, you really want to be sure they are the problem as it's not a five minute task.

I've got a dCi '80 Megane II for £1450... Good luck with a K9K X65 for under £1500 though

Serious or troll? Of course it's not "right" LoLz Sounds like an earth problem to me but needs investigating properly by a competent person. Mick

Agreed - it needs a proper session and the problem investigating, under standing and then fixing. Mick
