Another vote for Andy and Steve at Birchdown. You're best off giving them a ring as they're usually quite busy so you might have a couple of weeks wait.

I'm going back a few years now. But I remember reading an article saying insurance companies changed their school of thought about cars parked in garages versus on the road.
It said that thieves had more time to break into a garaged car as it was out of sight , whereas on the road they...
Tbh I haven't got a clue what's wrong.
Have you tried putting the original light back in and see if that makes any difference?
It might just be a coincidence that your radio stopped working but it's worth a try.
The car you've pictured is Arctic Blue not Racing Blue.
They are quite heavy clutches compared to some other cars . My 182 from new was quite heavy , I also had a new 172 . That was also quite heavy. Then again I guess it's down the person and what they've been used to driving before.
I wouldn't...
I declared a stainless exhaust through Confused.com.
I'm so sure many people on here actually use Flux anymore. Nothing used to touch them years ago, now they take the piss with their quotes.
After being with Adrian Flux for around 20 years they weren't competitive anymore.
Went through Confused.com - Hastings Premier. Slightly better quotes than compare the market plus 20 quids worth of Shell V power if you have an account. Also 30 quid cashback through quidco if it pays out.
You mean the whole assembly including the motor? Mine dropped to bits so I ended up buying the whole assembly including motor off eBay.
From what I believe any mk2 assembly fits.
The part number for the whole assembly I bought was 82 00 58 328
It's might be worth giving them a bell. They're usually pretty busy so could take a week or two before they can book you in. I'm sure they'll be able to sort out your problem.
I'm in the Northwest too.
I take mine to Andy and Steve at Birchdown Autos in Malpas , Cheshire. 160 mile round trip but well worth it. They won't bullshit you or fire the parts cannon , changing this that or the other.
It's worth considering if you're struggling to get to the bottom of your...
+1. Find a decent garage or better still a Renault specialist.
" Starting with the coilpack " , already warning signs that the garage hasn't got a clue.
Well your alternator and battery are definitely ok with those readings.
You said you had increased fuel consumption. That " can be " a bad or faulty lambda sensor.
Is there no garage near you that you trust, or a renault specialist?
Whereabouts in the country are you?
I wouldn't throw parts at it if you're not sure what part needs replacing. You'll just waste money.
That's the reason I suggested taking it to a garage . They should be able to check if any of the earths are loose. Or maybe your mate had some idea if you're not that mechanically minded?
Like...
Have you check all the earths like somebody recommended in your original post?
I had a loose earth and it would struggle to start and there was a loud clicking noise coming from the passenger footwell.
If you're not too sure where to check find a decent local garage.
Sounds like battery or earth problem to me.
Get the battery tested by somebody else , not the guy who fitted your clutch or test it yourself with a multimeter.
Sorry . I can't help with your fuse question but the light down beside the handbrake is for the alarm. The immobiliser light is red and in the centre of the instrument panel, it should be constantly flashing once you remove the key from the ignition.
