I've always used buypartsby but euro or GSF may be cheap to.

When were the belts last done? If in doubt... change (In your case i'd get it inspected ASAP)

A DIET engine... blast from the past!!! Sorry but i'm not following as I can't really see the pipe that you bent over and blocked in the picture above... do you mean that coolant pipe coming vertically off the top of the stat housing that then bends towards the bulkhead of the car? If so, that's...

Does it all come on okay when you put the key in and turn it but without trying to start the car? (You should see the needles flicker slightly when you 'key-on') Try putting the clockset in to diagnostic mode to see if its a generic electrical fault or a clockset fault itself.

Sounds like worn/old/dying suspension components to me so get it checked out.

It depends on the code(s) found but its a "how long is a piece of string" question. It could simply need a new pedal potentiometer or a throttle body but as its a 1.2 16v it could also be a wiring issue... theyre known for them.

Any updates on this Lindley? Be very carefull slandering businesses like that without actual proof - I'm nothing to do with NWP but its saying things like that which can kill a small business and also puts off other customers which isn't fair especially as it turns out their work on the timing...

Faulty TDC sensor is the most common cause of this - it'll need the updated "blue" sensor and new fly lead fitting to the loom. Parts will set him back around £65 from a Renault Parts Dept or about £48 from a decent autofactors. Wires will need soldering to the loom though so tell him its not a...

Interference or 'noise' is a possible but the thing that makes me believe that's not the issue it the fact that once the car warms up (Or the external temps get higher) then its no longer an issue so deffo temp. related. The only thing I can suggest at the minute is I'll either come and have...

Squeaking belts are not normal... do you think they came out of the showrooms like this? My Scenic workbus used to do it aswell then I replaced the belt run and guess what? It doesn't do it anymore at all; cold, warm, wet or dry. James, give the belt a tug from the drivers wheel arch and see...

I was thinking about this only yesterday Seb as I'd not heard anymore from you. There's got to be a simple explanation for this issue, there just has to be - Wiring or a component. Did you ever find out what the "Experimental" fix was that they applied to the ECM? Mick

More likely to be an earth or UCH issue than a traditional relay i'm afraid.

You should be safe with that... pretty sure you can buy these as a fully built or even a DIY build kit from Maplins

Okay so some homework shows that Merlins "AOR034" is actually a Walbro "ITP147" which is a direct replacement Renault pump rather than an "Uprated" unit (in an increased flow rate sense at least). Check the power then check the breathers are not blocked and, if you have them, check the...

Nope, there's no Bosch to EODB database that I know of and a quick Google turned up nothing either. There's also no "FREE" way to get ODBII codes from a Renault either so you're gonna have to take it somewhere to be read properly by someone with decent, non-Bosch kit (I really hate the Bosch...

So its an "uprated" in-tank pump feeding an external, mechanically set pressure regulator. A couple of things: Have you got a model number for the fuel pump so I can track it down on'tinternet? Have you put a volt meter across the terminals yet to see that its got a nice, steady power supply?

Bloody Bosch Esi-Tronics are nothing but trouble. Garages are dupped into buying them for lots of cash as they trust the brandname but in truth they'd be far better off buying a Snap-On Ethos II and a Verso for all there diagnostic needs. The only thing I can find that is close to the "3503"...

Link to video: Clickity Click and should stream from Media Player

I got the Vid by right clicking it and opening the URL in a new window. Pardon my ignorance but I don't know your car, its spec, etc so can you tell me how the fuel system is setup? Sounds like the pump is starting up every 10 secs and then stopping... that being the case it could be a wiring...

Aux belt service kit required... you can get away with just changing the belt IF, upon inspection, the bearings in the tensioner and idler feel fine and aren't noisey but that's not doing the job properly. A belt from an autofactors will set you back around £15-18 and enjoy fitting it... you...
