Used to be owned by a "josh mcgraa", but presume you bought it from him?
"WHATS IT WORTH? Offers?
Hi I think it's time to sell my Renault Clio 172 phase 1...128857 miles 11months mot, 4 tyres have good tread buy there budget tyres and a spare wheel.
Just had the cambelt and dephaser done.
New...
Small dent thatd pull out, tiny bit of rust starting on the lip. Front bumper has a small scuff low down that'd most likely machine out and the drivers door has a small scratch otherwise it's mint. Car bodywork is decent just a dent on the passenger door where someone has opened it into a wall...
Yep.
Mick has said he think it's dead with little to no compression. Person I bought it off is still adamant it was running before it was loaded onto the truck. Strange as I even told him I'm not bothered if it wasn't but he continues saying it was
No, no lights like that just abs as I presume there's a sensor down.
No mate, we tried pushing it up but could only get to 50mph. Will it reach 100mph via a cliff?
- Check bay fuses
- Check relay fuses - 3 BLACK and swap around = 535-2542
- Check TD Sensor, clean if required.
- Check earths - GEARBOX OK
- Direct 12v to fuel pump
- Check spark on plugs - remove and crank
- check fuel ~ remove from rail and put into bottle
- spray fuel into TB and check if...
I will give those a go. Definitely not battery though as I've tried it with a brand new one and made no difference!
Best way to check fuel is simply removing it off the rail and cranking into a bottle?
You'd expect so. I didn't pay loads for the car so if the timing has slipped I'll just sell it on. I was hoping to get it running and cleaned up! No space to swap out an engine unfortunately.
I'll check for spark when i get chance, just pull plug and earth to engine whilst cranking?
Aye...
Sure does! Belts were apparently done in 2013 on this car so they're due. But suprised for them to have lasted this long if done using tipex! Best way to check? Niall suggested endoscope down the spark plug hole?
So I bought another 182 as a little side project but I'm struggling to get it started.
When I got it I took off the inlet and and tightened up all the spark plugs as they weren't nipped up, then got rid of all the carbon canister /acoustic valve crap and plugged all inlets.
Noticed a HT lead...
