    starting issue

    The pump is one thing, pressure regulation is another... Same assembly but not the same thing. You really should have it looked at though as it could be electrical or mechanical.

    starting issue

    It could also be a fuel pump/pressure related issue.

    missfire and flashing engine light on tickover

    Most likely is an injector but if you can get it on CLIP it will tell you exactly which cylinder its on.

    Best monitors for a MBP?

    I was in a similar position a month ago and didn't want to buy a TBD but I'm glad I did because it's awesome. Granted, it's just a 27" monitor but it also has the Lightning ports which are brilliant if you have external drives. If you're not bothered about size, screen resolutions or any of the...

    Spring confusion, HELP

    They should fit fine but are these genuine springs we're talking about or aftermarket? If the colour codes are the same then go for them

    Clio Sport Specialist in the East Midlands?

    We are only in Long Eaton Rach so not far away at all. I'm not back until the 5th this year as I'm having some family time but if you drop me an email via our website I can look to give you a price or information before then. www.diamondmotors.co.uk Mick

    HELP!!!!! Clio clutch pedal not returning

    Check the pressure dampener on the hydraulic supply line first isn't leaking. Then if that's okay check for fluid coming from the wrap hole in the underside of the gearbox. If it's the dampener leaking then its a pretty cheap fix but you have to route the pipe work correctly and then bleed the...

    HELP!!!!! Clio clutch pedal not returning

    What car is this on?

    ESP

    No, you are right... I didn't realise the 182 ran Bosch ESP 8.x which does indeed apply the brakes to alter trajectory

    Yep, Still Not Working!

    That's basically how an EGR valve works which in turn actually lowers emissions but would this also cause the sulphurous smell? If the AFR was indeed detected as being rich the ECU would attempt to counter this by trimming the fuelling and ignition. I honestly don't think its a CAT issue and...

    Got a little issue :-(

    I know, right... Who the hell do I think I am taking personal time off to be with my family when there are broken Renaults in need of rescue. Absolutely zero dedication to the cause Ron, apologies hehehe

    Yep, Still Not Working!

    Take the CAT off and run the car to see if it fixes it but I've never seen a genuine CAT collapse to date.

    Yep, Still Not Working!

    Another thing to check, spark plug wells... Any build up of fluids (oil, water, etc) as this will cause missfires
  14. MicKPM

    Yep, Still Not Working!

    A blocked CAT won't make the car run rich though. The sulphur smell will be unburnt fuel entering the CAT which is most likely due to incorrect ignition (so spark plug, lead, coilpack). Have you checked the wiring for signs of damage? Are ignition drivers 1 & 2 firing ok? Diagnostic kit is...

    Throttle pedal electric connector.

    Corrosion normally from moisture

    Got a little issue :-(

    Easy enough job but unfortunately we've now closed for the holidays. Pop in and I'll sort it for you

    Throttle pedal electric connector.

    The UCH has no cororlation to the throttle circuit I'm afraid. More likely to be signal I consistency on the two circuits
  18. MicKPM

    Yep, Still Not Working!

    I seriously doubt the CAT has actually collapsed. You need to check the injector trigger and ignition dwell times to see what's happening. Then, if all is well here and you're sure the timing is okay move on to the other things often overlooked: fuel pressure and compression/leak down tests needed.

    Best coilovers for comfort vs cup setup 172

    My old Clio on BC's ran beautifully on the road and as they were adjustable, they worked brilliantly on the track but it wasn't that low.

    Renault also do a repair loom section for the cabin but it's £53.44 (Part Number: 7701057057)

    Cutting airbag loom

    Seriously, if weight is such a driving constraint then ultimately a custom wiring loom is required.

    Cutting airbag loom

    It spiders everywhere; Dash, interior electrics and chassis TBH,, the weight reduction cutting it out gives just isn't worth it, hence why most cable tie it up and just leave it. You could lose just as much weight by having a bigger poo before going out on track.

    Cutting airbag loom

    You can indeed remove it yes, but most people cable tie it up and out the way... just in case you ever want to g back ("I never want to go back" - Famous last words)

    Aux belt tool for tensioner

    Most likely broke because the tensioner was seized - The tool above looks okay though and likely to do the job providing the pivot point is fluid still

    Washer Problem - only rear working

    It's the pump blocked internally... they can be stripped and cleaned but the plastic is extremely brittle so replacing it with a new unit will be far easier.

    ESP

    It doesn't actually apply the brakes for you but rather adjusts the level of braking force applied to each wheel based on trajectory vs wheel speed signal when you're hard on the stop pedal. It's more of an extension program to ABS in reality but a pretty bloody good one as far as they go.

    Won't Idle

    It shouldn't do but from the sounds of it the adaptive are all wrong meaning a reset is required.

    iPhone 6 thread.

    I had my 6 replaced today by Apple due to faulty Mute switch. My first ever experience with AppleCare/Genius Bar and by ek, is it worth it! All data backed up, new handset had data restored and confirmed as being ALL my data (Pictures, Video, Apps, Calendar, Mail, Etc)... Awesome service.

    Anyone with timing tools that can help pls? Manchester area.

    Look like non-gen leads anyway so did you a favour in that case hehehe
