Coil Pack, plug lead or possibly an injector fault... the F4R's have very weak injectors and break easily.

I've got a few spare KS's laying about so can bring one to rule it out as a part failure

I will put money on it being something mega-ghey like a poor earth lurking somewhere in the engine bay. So, when's this mini meet taking place LoL

Check the single white wire with a spade connector. This is the live feed to the solenoid and these are notorious for corrosion on the older Renaults... same problems as you and eventually the wire breaks off at the crimped joint.

Doubt full that the valves are physically 'hitting' the pistons other wise there'd be compression issues as a result but the first thing you need to do, IMO, is DON'T drive it anymore until the timing references have been confirmed/denied. Most likely the noise you're hearing is a dephaser...

At 0:50secs in... what does he say? Its pronounced "AL-YOU-MIN-E-UM".... English.... speak it!!!

They do indeed sound like complete fucktards - Take it to someone that knows what they're on with as the amber "SERV" light will not flash on its own (Or ever for that matter) due to a slightly low oil level. Interogation of the UCH and other modules should fairly easy for a garage with the...

I can't get my head round as to why the DF254 is showing as active yet the rest are memory faults... maybe it is a case of a fooked KS and its faffing everything else up. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a weird electrical gremlin on a diamond. What kind of duration are we looking at...

Do you need someone to pass tools? I wish my lass knew what the kettle was for!

Just dug my receipt out for you... didn't fit the Scenic without some twisting effort but I believe they'll fit the Clio II much better. Part Description: H23D Washer Jet Part No: C6438V8 Unit Price: £3.61 Units Req'd: 2 Deffo a worthwhile upgrade and your washer bottle won't empty as fast...

Biggest problem causer at the minute are batteries (Second to frozen coolant casuing jumped timing belts... check your coolant people) Yesterday, I had a 2.3 Zetec Galaxy come in that just wouldn't go. It would crank fine, diagnostics showed the ECM as recognising rotation but it still had no...

There's some corker excuses coming out of workshops at the minute and this is a good one to... next they're be telling her to pump the throttle to get fuel up :rolleyes: Obviously this isn't right and its temperature related but, my question; does it only do this in freezing temps or does it...

Battery is the most likely culprit i'm afraid. You got a set of jumpers or a jump pack?

I seriously doubt they looked this good when they were showroom fresh! Top work

So they've had a look and can't see any history that's triggered the "SERV" lamp at all?

Sorry to ask a really stupid question but i'm new here so don't know you or your cars history. Has it ever had problems with water ingress as the problems you've got there cannot be down to actual component failures... not that many at once even if its been to the moon and back several times...

Indeed a ruddy good find that though cos I hate having to replace a shaft for the sake of a knock on/off joint. I understand the reasonings why they do it that way but its helluva annoying spunking out £200 when you don't really need to. I believe they *should* be the same outer CV joints on the...

Result! Glad its chugging again - It really doesn't take much to stop the K9K's starting.

Damn it, another double post... ghey phone

Automatic gearboxes are not of this world and you would be far better taking it to an auto-box specialist IMO however gear oil level and oil preasure can do things like this. When was the car last serviced and the box oil checked/changed?

Has it had a brand new 'virgin' UCH fitted by Renault and setup on a Clip or is it a second hand, decoded unit thats been fitted by a backstreet garage?

Ghey phone... double post - erase me please!

Diagnostics on a Clip will most likely turn up nothing. Those two lights will only come on when a low oil preasure has been observed. Your problem is one of the following : 1 - The oil preasure switch is faulty. 2 - The actual oil preasure is low. If its a faulty switch then it is easily...

If you have 100% faith in the ability of the garage to do the job right, using the correct tools required for the job and at a price that you think is fair then go for it. Mick PS: I love those wheels against the blue coach... tres smart!

Had these on my Scenic for over a year and they're mint. They do spray over the car at slow speed but ive found short bursts work well and solve that problem... they are bang on over 40mph though and work perfect at 80mph.

What was wrong with it? Gotta be fooked at that price?

Seriously Fred? I thought the £600 we paid for a 2001 sport was cheap... guess I need to be a bit bolder with my bidding LoL

Were any other fuses blown? Check the engine bay box to as there are a couple of fuses there also. Could it be the main sensor loop issue? Possibly, yes but without a diagnostic its hard to say as the main sensor array will, when effected by lack of power or a short to ground, will normally show...

The rear number plate light shouldn't do any serious damage on its own even if it shorted to ground... worst case it would pop the tail lamp circuit fuse which is rated at around 10A. Have you checked all the mini-blade fuses in the drivers fuse box? Are you sure you've not something else bar...

I agree there to Danny and i'll only use FAI pumps who supply Renault. Admitedly the aux belt run does bump it up but its rare the K4M tensioners die... just the belt really needs changing.
