    Why do I bother! Had bonnet and wings done and found scratches already!

    One on top of wing. Must be mechanic doing MOT and two great long ones on rear panel. They a two foot long and go down. Can't work how they got there unless it's kids sitting or leaning against it at night. Tried to remove with Scratch X and fill with SRP but they are still visible. Feel like...

    Steering control wheel is crap. Can I clean it or something?

    The remote joystick stereo control wheel is useless. I spin it one way and nothing happens, try again and it goes forward two tracks or sometimes backwards one! Is there a way to fix this without taking steering wheel off. Also I'm sure someone said you can turn AM radio of so it's just CD or...

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    Spoke to Nic and he's going to have a look on Saturday. Spoke on phone to him. He was recommending I get all belts done for piece of mind but it is a lot of money. Depends how long I'm gonna keep car and how long it's gonna run well before costing me more money!

    Car failed MOT on emissions!!!

    Turned out to be MAP sensor. Was running way rich. He pulled sensor out and stuck his finger over hole and it sounded better straight away. Bloody engine diagnostic cost me £73 though. It's passed now but god if I'd of known what it was I'd be £73 better off. Only took him 15 mins as well :mad:

    Car failed MOT on emissions!!!

    Runs fine now. Do you think it might worth changing plugs and lambda?

    Car failed MOT on emissions!!!

    It's 2001 ph1. Thing is it's been sat for a week but I did have a problem with it miss firing last week and had to take plugs out clean them and put em back in. When I cleared the engine management light it showed 512 destructive miss fire and up stream lambda sensor. Auto electricion said...

    Whats high mileage on a clio?

    Coil packs are often bad on 1.2s. If got a 172 on 110k so I'd say engines are good for a lot more the 50ks

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    but you said if it's too tight it will whine as revs drop and to loose it'll flap. It wines as revs drop. You said it sounds like they've co*ked up. If it can't be adjusted how can they. Belt off. Change tensioner and and idler put back on. All new Renault parts and fitted by a Cam Belt...

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    Mine squeaks for a bit longer but it's the whistling whine that does me. I think it may be too tight. Was hoping Fred would tell me how to adjust the pre tensioner but he didn't. There must be some thing I can do. Gonna give it till end of week. Mechanic said he'd try to look tomorrow but...

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    Well MOT today so I'm gonna get them to look at it. Whine is when revs are below 2000. If that doesn't work I'll have to get on phone to Nick.

    ph1 172 steering wheel fix

    Anyone suggest a good after market one off ebay plus boss. Some are quite cheap! Would like a boss kit that brings wheel a little closer.

    yet another Knocking thread!

    I tried to to do this and it didn't move. Took bolt out and hole was round. Couldn't understand how it would move? Any one?

    ph1 172 steering wheel fix

    I'm interested. Aftermarket race style one would do though. No airbag but you can always blow a balloon up and stick it on.

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    Hillpower isn't that close to me. Not much closer than you. I wanted Nick to do it when I had it done but he was busy and the tensioner was sticking and I felt I need it doing quick cause the belt would go from tight to flapping so I paid a place in Notts. Some belt specialist. They said the...

    Down pipe knocking

    Only really happens while driving. The clearance is crap on downpipe so I'd put money on it being that. How did you solve it?

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    So how do you adjust tension? Can I get mechanic to do it or will you do it if I pop round end of March. I'm in Derbyshire so can pop up but don't really wanna leave my car cause of getting back. I think it makes the noise as the revs drop. I just thought the tensioner did all the work but...

    Down pipe knocking

    How can I raise downpipe so it doesn't catch and bang. Had SS exhaust fitted. Swapped all engine mounts and adjusted them but the knocking always comes back. It's defo the downpipe. If I adjust the mounts it seems good a little while then it starts again. I heard about putting washers under...

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    How do you adjust tension. I thought it was pre tensioned. Can it be loosened a bit then?

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    Hi Fred. I'm off end of March. Think maybe could pop round and get car sorted properly. Damn Bosch Super 4 spark plugs playing up now. Back firing. Took them out and put them back in and it's ok. Just got engine light stuck on! Also think my rocker cover is leaking cause bit of oil on top of...

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    So in the kit I got the idler etc. So that should mean that it's fine and it's the bearing on the alternator or water pump yeah? Local garage suggested just putting a new belt on and see if that does it. What do you think. Anyone fancy having a look at it? Fred maybe?

    A belt is squeaking but I had aux belt and tensioners done 6 months ago

    It is a genuine Renault one. I paid stealers £50 for it. Tensioner is fine now just the squeak. Please read posts properly.
