    OBD Plug Question

    The CAN network will function without it as posted above but it really needs balancing other wise it can cause generic "multiplex network" faults. Thats the role of that jumper.

    how much should it cost to drop in a second hand engine?

    Did an engine swap on a 172 with new clutch on Monday. Started at 9am... by 12.30 engine was on the floor, box off, new clutch fitted and it was in, fluids replaced and running again for 17.30 Admittedly swapping ancils and brackets does add loads of time though but compared to the Mk1's these...

    Please help with non starter

    There's two main earths that will need to be intact. The main one is in the passenger wheel arch area between the gearbox and the chassis. The second is the battey terminal which goes in to the main engine harness but also to the chassis behind the passenger headlamp. If this has been damaged...

    Please help with non starter

    If the SRS light is illuminated when you turn the key and then goes out (and stays out) then no crash data has been stored and you're lucky. There may be something occuring with the electrical infastructure though after the crash. Check all earth points are correct and intact. If the headlamp...

    How much to get UCH programmed

    And then should you want something daft... I dunno like a new key from Renault because you break yours in the fuel cap... what then? Key blades are ordered to VIN and by changing locks you shaft yourself. Also, its a pretty common failure to so why would you spend £100 on a secomd hand part...

    How much to get UCH programmed

    A brand new uch is around £280-340 supplied, fitted and configured by us. Why are your changing ignition barrels though? Mick

    Cambelt changes

    Its essential yes not optional. Its your car so do what you want really but when it breaks dont you dare claim Renaults are crap! Lets do the basic maths: Change belt properly £340 (£560 with a dephaser pulley). Car runs happily for the next 5yrs/72k miles. Don't change it and then when it...

    map sensor wiring

    You want to be sure of two things before that sensor is replaced. Firstly, that the ecu is seeing actual "atmospheric" pressure when the engine is off (normally around 101kPa) and then a slight vacuum when running at idle (as an NA engine creates this when breathing). If you're not seeing...

    Could be then yes but I'd like to confirm it by seeing what the ecu is seeing to in the live data screen.

    Which Bias valve?

    I like the Tilton lever types to as they onky have a certain number of preset positions to. If you're not worried about regulations it can go anywhere you like. I've got mine at the rear of the handbrake bracketry in the 19.

    Trouble starting 182

    Sounds like a wiring fault mate as a solid light isn't an actual imobilliser fault, it's the imob being told to stay active despite the key being authorised to start the vehicle because the CAN pre-requisits aren't being met. Check the x3 blade fuses in the engine bay fuse box to as these can...

    Samsung Galaxy S4 launch thread

    Thing is though Tom my Note2 cost me just over £400 new and sim free. Whats the current price on a Sim free iphone 5 with 32gb or 64gb (£600-700)? They may not have that "premium build quality" that Apple devices since the iphone 3 have had but they're by no means utter shite either...

    Odd Clutch Slipiing

    All I can think is a possible worn pressure plate or possible oil contamination.

    Check Emissions light - Scenic 2005

    For most tasks I don't know why enthusiasts and DIYers don't have something like this in their tool boxes. They're only good for use on engine management but they're mega cheap and can save you a bit of $$$

    Check Emissions light - Scenic 2005

    I can't promise that will 100% work but if the claims on protocol are correct then it will do what you need. Mick

    You should be able to work these out easily with the aid of a multi-meter. Earth will be common and go to ground all the time. Feed is a switched voltage that comes on with the key via the main control relay Process of elimination leaves the line back to the ECM... DMM continuity test...
