Its a 172 Cup so be carefull... for some reason the genuine 172 Cup's suffer with throttle related age gremlins alot more than the FF variants. Was the live data actually checked and the values of Pedal Track '1 and Track '2 validated? There should be roughly no more than 8% difference between...

Pearl Black is for winners - FACT!!! Welcome to the club but if you start talking in that "Funny" accent that ex-pats put on then your barred ;) Mick

The world is really your oyster Omex, DTA, Emerald, Adaptronic, Gen90... It all depends on your budget and what features you want.

Auto correct iFail - Typo that caught on years ago... A few people still call me "Mink".

If its a regular thing I will pop along. Can't do this weekend though as I've got the little one (that's my daughter not Dave btw) Mick

Can't you re-arrange it for the week after? I'm busy to on the 7th. Mink

Same engine and belt run but you're proberbly right saying Renault changed it on the 200's rather than the 197's

You will enjoy this job, its ace! You need to remove the inlet manifold completely along with the fuel rail. Then, you need to unscrew the top covers then replace the seal before refitting in reverse. From memory the seal is a pain in the ass as its moulded and will only fit in one way but...

Belts are a bit higher on the Clio III RS... The book states 6yr intervals but most still recommend 5yrs/72k

I would love a MkIII sport to but then I look at the repair bills for them and think Fek No! MkII maybe getting on a bit now but they're cheap to repair in comparison. Steering pivot bushes seem to be the things that I'm seeing wear now and they aren't fun to replace.

It's hard to say I'm afraid mate without seeing it. Plug it in again and see what the pedal tracks (Track 1 and Track 2) are doing when you press the pedal. If its a numerical value then it won't be of much use but if the equipment is capable of graphing then you will see any errors or faults in...

Halo Aniversary rocks mate you've got to buy it... I loved the original so much and it can be had for as little as £10 these days. Since BF3 seems to require a small 8-12Gb update every other week now I've binned it and gone back to playing these in single player Elite modes and they're insane.

Unlikely mate, its more likely to have taken a fuse out TBH. Did you physically pull the fuse for the horn circuit? Take the horn button assembly out of the boss and make sure the wires and connectors are still intact. You could also try quickly touching the two wire together to see if the horn...

What was the condition of the coolant you took out originally? I've not seen it in years now but when the heater martrix starts to fail it can do funny things to your coolant temps. If you think it may have an actual issue still then it may be best it go somewhere now that has the equipment to...

^^^ This ^^^ If that still doesn't work you will need to remove the dust caps from the rear of the callipers and make sure the mech hasn't seized up as its common on the older style rear units. Mick

Okay so we know the key and all systems are functioning fine. You say you cannot hear the fuel pump prime. Does your Clio have a crash impact/inertia cut-off switch in the engine bay area? They look like this: If so, press it... Does it click or feel solid? If not do you have a volt meter or...

You need to start at the very beginning. When you put the key in the ignition and turn it what does the red LED do? Flash Stay on solid Come on and then go out Mick

Those codes are from what, an old Snap-On "brick"? They mean nothing to me. Mick

Some noise is normal but a "whine" that's clearly audible when driving isn't especially if its increasing in frequency as engine speed (whilst under load) increases and needs looking at. It's really hard to diagnose via mobile video uploads though as they really do amplify treble which makes...

Ask them if they have any specials on as some dealerships do. I got two cards for my Laguna supplied and coded for £190. It's piece of mind having a new key than having used ones

Just be prepared to lose a small amount of gearbox oil when you remove the old sensor... don't dilly-dally or else you'll lose a lot. Mick

Are you sure its not PAS equipped? i thought all Clio II's has assisted steering but I've been wrong before when it comes to spec and equipment. It can be done yes but it really depends on the engine in the car as its not as simple as you may think. Firstly, you will have to remove your manual...

Personally i'd say that if you are prepared to spend £100 on a used ECU/UCH setup and swap it all over why not spend an extra £50 on a brand new key for your car? It shouldn't actually be that much unless you have a new key blade as a new RF key on the X65 is an "assembly" made of two parts/part...

You need the seal refitting then john... Easy!

Theres loads of bargains to be had. Ive just paid £850 for this:

Yep, just ask for a written receipt from the guy... I do it with all my cars. "I, joe bloggs sold this heap if s**t (registration X123ABC) to jason bloggs on 12.3.13 for the princely sum of £300" If the seller cant write then produce your own and force him to scribe an "X" at tr bottom.

Its part of the lock mech iirc on the tailgate. I will have a look later but it would be easier to just plug it in, look at the UCH and see which door is reporting open when closed.

Does it need a new motor john? I can live with those terms

Maybe call the DVLA and Police to see if the story stands up or if its been reported as stolen?

It was a late 80's French thing and I love it... Deffo doing this to my pearl black when i cam find some proper Laminex at a good price.
