Go back to basics. Make sure you've conected everything, then make sure you've got a spark, air, fuel and compression.

+1 Thats what ive got, not the greatest seats ever but fairly cheap and improve the driving position 100%

Im awaiting Mace's input tbh. Very little abuse so far the sharks must be busy today.

I painted mine because where the sills had been jacked on and the paint had come off, just painted it to stop it rusting. You may not need to.

The sills are made of cheese they always bend, better off jacking on the chassis leg, that doesnt bend. To fix the sills all you need is a hammer and a block of wood or similar, hammer them back straight and give them a lick of paint.

Check starter relay, sometimes they corrode on the terminals, all light work etc just no starter action.

Any backbox shots?? Aint seen it for atleast two weeks.

"she went towards dog bed and glanced at rear of kitchen and spotted guy peircing thru door looking right at her" that bits freaky! makes me think of the film, the shining! Heres Johnny!!

Nice collection! Tech wax spray.. any good??

You cant blame the dealers for parts prices, they are fixed by renault. The labour charges are daft tho.

I doubt it. Think theres something fundamentally wrong with the clio Gaz kits. Most people who have tried them will agree, they might seem ok until you try H+R's or even sportlines.

Bumpy and twitchy especially on back roads. Took me weeks of messing around trying to get a decent setting. I would never buy them again, not for a clio anyway. Not sure if the Gaz golds are any better but if these are cheap then its maybe worth a try.

They'd probably be more suited to track TBH. Get them if you just want the looks but they do nothing for the handling, IMO.

Dont mean to be a party pooper mate but id save your money and put it towards something better. Ive got those on mine and there not great.

Bout £85 PH from renault. Cambelt kit and aux belt will be about £250 for gen parts, maybe £200 - £300 for the pump. Thats a whopping £800 labour.. ooook! Total rip off.

Have you checked for a speed sensor on top of the diff?? My ph2 172 works off the wheel speed sensor but yours could be different.

Thats what i meant!

Speedo sensor by the looks of it, its only used on phase 1's and cups i think as they get there speed information from the ABS sensor.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Engine looks mint mate. Good to see something a bit different.

If you had a battery / aternator issue then i think you would see more symptoms in normal driving conditons, especially with lights and rear heated screen on etc. The fact that its just on full lock at idle speed makes a pump / ICV more likely.

No PH1 is the same power steering, have seen pumps stalling the engine on full lock, but not on a clio. Its got to be either a pump problem or an idle control fault.

Id say on a PH1 it could be idle control valve, When the engine is under more load the engine speed drops, the ECU should pick that back up again. Does it stall If you switch on lots of electrics when idleing? ( heated screen, wipers etc )

yea tyres look a bit stretched

My clio 16V used to do it really bad when cold and on full lock, new belt kit -sorted.

Sounds like the aux belt slipping when the power steering pumps under load. Check your belt condition, might be time for a new belt and tensioner.

Question is, why were you searching youtube for gay videos?

+1 Used to replace them every day on 1600 meganes and scenics Never saw 1 fail on an f4r

Normally looks crap but they look good.

The small idler between the bottom pulley and a/c compressor whine, 'tis quite common. I assume when you say alternator and idler you mean alternator and the tensioner?

If i were you id take it to a Auto elctrician, will be a fraction of Renaults labour charge. It needs to go on the diag computer to see whats wrong. Obviously the airbag that went off will need replacing, and if the fault 'computer' comes up as a permanant fault it will need replacing.
