Were you holding it at 4krpm to over-emphasise the drama or does it genuinely hit that rpm brick wall? +1 - Get it to the shop!

Jimbo, if neglected it *could*, in theory, damage your inlet valves but normally it just makes your car rattle and sound like a diesel... it can also cause 'missfiring' symptoms in cases whilst under load. Any decent 'Specialist' should inspect it at the time though and at least inform you of...

Fine by me judd, just gimme a nudge a few days before you get it all together. I'm in Cardiff this weekend anyhow but i'm gonna be wrecked so not much use i'm afraid.

I've never really looked at full UCH re-configuration before; other than removing tyre pressure monitor function for taxi drivers and key coding that's about as far as i've gone but the above makes sense and I assume this is to allow the 'N3' to cater for the additional inputs required to...

But what would that achieve Ben? You're still gonna spend £400+ on a decent F4R-7XX unit which needs fitting and then you've still got the timing belt and aux belt runs to renew (Stupid if you don't do this or just gluten for punishment). You also assume that the 'new' engine is in good...

That is a supposedly a dealer level piece of equipment - Personally i'd tell you to steer clear of that as it is most certainly what we call a "Clone" and they can do some things very well... they can also do some things that you don't want them to do. One example is I've seen "Clones"...

Conti-tech belts are in orange and black boxes yes and use the OE bearings.

My experience with INA tensioners is they break if you attempt to use the keyway on them... seriously cheap castings. Just spend an extra £25 and buy a genuine Renault service kit and there are no problems.

Wrong head - Renault use Torx for cylinder heads now-days. It's deffo an alternator or gearbox bolt that

Just because it's new doens't mean its gonna be fine... most cars are at there most unreliable when they're within the 3yr warranty period. I saw an '11 plate Corsa D going down the road puffing out blue smoke yesterday... guess he was heading to Pentagon in Derby to have words, assuming he made...

IF it is the decoder ring at fault then it's a doddle job and no specialist equipment is required as it's not coded. Just remove the lower column surround, unplug the connector and slide the unit off the end of the ignition barrel. I can't give you a price for a new unit i'm afraid as it's a...

Actually I had a call out to a Ford Galaxy 2.3 Zetec which had done just this just after Christmas.... pulled the plugs and sure enough the bores were totally saturated with fuel. Unplugged the injectors and put aside for testing whilst the controllers were scoped and everything was fine...

Yeah they must've given you a huge discount cos they are currently listing: Timing belt kit > F4R > 'Gates' - £120.35 inc.vat Timing belt kit > F4R - 'INA' - £106.49 inc.vat Drive belt kit > F4R > 'Gates' - £183.42 inc.vat The timing belt service kits are cheaper than Renault and both Fred...

+1 - people always over look the decoder ring with "Immobiliser" problems and are quick to fly the UCH/Plip key fault flag. Diagnostics will say for sure but I'd put money on it being a faulty decoder ring.

Hey Yin, I heard the bad news about your motor on BBM and am truely gutted for you mate. DOn't listen to the "Lack of compression" rubbish as that's all it is... rubbish! As Danny has said, there are multiple bent valves and so this is to be expected and they're most likely dodging the job...

The "SERV" light is not the MIL... that just means something isn't 100% right but you can continue driving the vehicle. It does indeed sound like a faulty/failing CPS but you really should have it diagnosed to be on the safe side as they are cheap but no-one likes wasting money.

£125 is way too cheap for a Timing belt kit and an Aux belt kit... I assume he means just the aux belt kit though as the genuine kit retails at around £118 + vat. If not, get me a contact name cos i'll be placing a bulk order with them! Back on topic; To be fair, if you took the car just...

A Clip does have the ability to look at the network yes but will they know what they're doing with the results? I can't say for sure but you'd like to think yes. If I were you, for the time it is going to taker i'd be looking at the looms paying close attention to the multiplugs for signs of...

Unless it is a Cup model then the speed is read from the ABS so a CanBus connection error between the injection and ABS modules is the most likely cause of the DF066. Unfortunately, unless there's an obvious problem with the wiring that you can see with your eyes you are going to need...

Renault... ask them for the above parts but as Motrio crossover parts (Bar spark plugs as they're not available via Motrio yet); Oil filter, Air filter, Cabin filter, Coolant pre-mixed - All genuine Renault type approved parts but at 25-60% cheaper than autofactors in most cases. Mick
