It depends very much on the make of pump; theres nothing wrong with plastic impellas. You tend to find the cheaper pumps have a cast impella and a cheap bearing set but with waterpumps you get what you pay for. Fit a generic "white box" pump that costs £11 and you're in for trouble however, fit...

That is one way to test it yeah and no, you wont screw up the Clio III by disconnecting the battery. You will however have to re-enter the radio code and set the time so be sure you have the four digit code before disconnecting the battery. Mick

Ben i have a solution for these siren "issues"; wire snips and a bucket of water.... #WINNER

yep, thats the ones... come back with what you find and we'll go from there. Mick

Re: Fit Brunette Female in White Clio 200 with Black wheels, Roof + Spoiler in Manche Any pics detailing her identifying marks? Might help speed up the search? ;)

Sorry mate, not close or else i'd be all over it like a fat kid to cake but first thing to do/try is change the keyfob battery. Whilst youre in there check the condition of the button on the PCB as this to may be an issue. Also gonna hazard a guess at the alarm being aftermarket so shutting...

i had a Clio II come in with a similar issue earlier in the year except hers would fire all the relays at random when you were driving and/or the indicators wouldnt work. Removing and cleaning the main control relay seemed to help for a while as it was seriously corroded up but it came back a...

Check all earth points in the engine bay first. Anything loose or broken = problem Mick

The D4F isn't fussy on its plugs unlike the F4R's. It could be many things... plug gaps, wiring, coil-pack, poor earth... Just take it back, be polite and explain the situation then ask them to look at it for you. Just because it had a coil-pack fitted 6 months ago do not rule it out especially...

Depends on the level of equipment on your car. Most sports use an N2 or N3 UCH which cost around £280 + VAT retail then an hours CLIP time (Not that it takes an hour; more like 30-40mins). Normally works out around £320-350

Some auto-electrician then! Costs vary greatly from £40 to £65 an hour. Mike is telling you to inspect the loom from the ECM all the way back to the R67 connection in the engine bay fuse box for breaks. Just be wary though as there are two "twisted pairs" in the loom and they're not always...

New UCH time as per Mike at RenTecs post i'm afraid. We do them to for a lot less than Renault so do'nt feel the dealer is the only option. Repairs are all well and good if its a simple component at fault such as the central locking relays but if its board damage due to water ingress the...

No, I don't think a locksmith will be able to help with this as the key is being recognised and accepted but as there is a basic but serious fault (Level 1) the vehicle is not authorised to start. "CLIP" = Renaults dealer level diagnostic "CANBus" = An automotive specifc (but not exclussive)...

You won't "wipe" the UCH or ECM without CLIP or something else that can program so don't worry about that chap. The units are normally bomb proof unless you give them a bloody good bash, circuit short or get them wet. What the vehicle is telling you by means of the LED being on is that the key...

Is the electrical connection fault light on (ignore the diesel pre-heat light)? This warning LED always being on can happen for a number of reasons such as when there is a CanBUS or general connection fault and doesn't specifically mean the imob itself is at fault. CLIP diagnostic required to...

Pop it in mate... £25 and i'll turn them off ;)

Any other lights on or just the red STOP and oil light?

These normally end up being due to a poor earth condition behind the passenger headlamp Mick

Yeah its annoying when you ask someone for medical help or ammo and they don't drop kit... I know people may be getting their heads round the new class setups but its not exactly difficult (is it?). I'm still not 100% made up on BF3 either but I think its because I don't like change and...

Just realised I'm a t**t and didn't understand the question... At night it won't last long as you'll have lights on. You can make it last longer by turning off anything electrical not needed; heaters, stereo, etc Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 using Tapatalk

I have an Astra H on my books that's owned by a Belgian with this engine in and two weeks out of its warranty his alternator died (Which surprised me). Vauxhall wanted just shy of £430 for a new one to. To answer your question, there's no black and white answer I'm afraid but I'd expect a...

Yeah I'm finding the quick match failing seriously annoying and its like being back in 1992. This should've been sorted by now though as the Server Browser is terrible. Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 using Tapatalk

It makes no difference... you can straighten it up if your OCD's get too much though ;)

Nope, good old fashioned, standard engines to work on... just take your time and you'll be fine.

Seriously easy jobs and a mornings work - A Haynes manual will be money well spent ;)

Okay, firstly are you 100% sure its smoke and not condensation? Its cold out there now and cars will appear to produce white smoke a lot more now. Secondly, what did they do, plug in to read the codes and then say "Yeah, needs a new Lambda sensor"? I bet its an H02 related code triggering the...

Ben, what ever did you use to get that relic of a code, a Snap-On orange brick? Any idea what system its on; ECM, UCH, ABS, SRS, Etc Mick

Missed my delivery :( Oh well, stupid HDN... will fetch it in the morning. Just as well as i've got work to do tomorrow.

Its also highly possible that some idiot before you has put bearing lock or locktite all over the fixing in an attempt to ensure the assembly doesn't slip (which never works) and all it does is make life mega difficult for the next person come service time. In cases like this you have two...

Never had an issue before but if its late I'll be expecting some compensating for paying extra. Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 using Tapatalk
