What would constitute it being weak as we testing it with a mulit meter and it appeared ok, must have just bee the dirt. I will keep my eyes pealed for TDC sensor anyway however as its better to have it should it pack up, i've got a spare coilpack now might as well start a little collect ;)

long story short, its now working. We took the TDC sensor off to give it a clean, to be honest it had next to no dirt or grime on it but wiped it down anyway. low and behold when put back on it fired up first time, happy man i am! thanks for everyones help with this.

thanks Iain, thats not bad then as i currently do around 5k, hmmm!!!

6000 miles a year or over the 2 years i.e. 3k per year

So let me get this straight as i've never even looked at lease/finance deals or similar..... If i have £6000 now i could potentially pay the £1000 deposit, then whack the rest in an account which the £199 a month would come out of. Then at the end of the 2 years i have the choice to either...

what sort of places have such a tool, Renault i assume but who else. i am in between Gloucester and Bristol

right disconnected the battery tonight, reconnected it again but still no joy :dapprove:

In <3

it wouldn't shock me as i think on paper and in practice they should be?

did you do the engine cover yourself, looks good imo how were the colours applied to the plenum?

thanks ever so much DMS, i'm almost totally incompitant when it comes to electrics ;)

The only lights that are on when i turn the IGN on are the 3 usualy ones, hand brake etc

Yep one of my first thoughts was to try the spare key, no joy though haven't done the battery yet though, always worry that the alarm will go mad, sounds stupid but can i just disconnect?

Right not yet checked the TDC but have done the following after reading others threads with similar issues some pointing at the immobiliser being the problem: Turned ignition on and off 20 times - no joy Removed the black connect under the glove box, had ignition on for 30 seconds, pluged...

So £440 for service and belts? (based on non genuine)

if i were you paul i'd advertise in the 'Car parts for sale' section as from what i've seen these are popular but another seller is not being to great with posting them out, plus they are charing £4 so if you can do 2 for that price you're onto a winner

YOU DROVE IT LIKE THIS :eek:

where are you located fella?

£4500-£6500 Perhaps dependant on colour

in that case get yourself a Cup or a tidy Ph1 and then you have the change making it your own.

should have put them in the right section then kid ;) JS_182 found these so if you buy he must take the credit!!!!!! better? :rasp:

tbh if i were you i'd chuck a grand at your 106, then you'll be competition for a standard 172, having said that you'd clearly need to spend more to get a similar standard of handling.

Cheaper than what i've seen them advertised on here for. ebay

sell it and by an economical car.

brilliant ok shall check it, thats the one located down under the battery somewhere yes?

out of interest are ph1 coilpacks the same as the 182 one?

Great find JS 182

which is the immobiliser light, the red led one on the dash? all warning lights stay off when ignition is on, however do flitter when trying to turn over. So would the TDC sensor prevent spark, i thought this linked with the fuel

Right well long story short my Mrs' 182 wouldn't start on the weekend, turned over but wouldn't fire up. Greenflag man came out and diagnosed it as being the coil pack. replaced the coil pack tonight but still no change. My mechanic mate came round to have a look and after found that we had...
