Well your alternator and battery are definitely ok with those readings.
You said you had increased fuel consumption. That " can be " a bad or faulty lambda sensor.
Is there no garage near you that you trust, or a renault specialist?
Whereabouts in the country are you?
I wouldn't throw parts at it if you're not sure what part needs replacing. You'll just waste money.
That's the reason I suggested taking it to a garage . They should be able to check if any of the earths are loose. Or maybe your mate had some idea if you're not that mechanically minded?
Like...
Have you check all the earths like somebody recommended in your original post?
I had a loose earth and it would struggle to start and there was a loud clicking noise coming from the passenger footwell.
If you're not too sure where to check find a decent local garage.
Sounds like battery or earth problem to me.
Get the battery tested by somebody else , not the guy who fitted your clutch or test it yourself with a multimeter.
Sorry . I can't help with your fuse question but the light down beside the handbrake is for the alarm. The immobiliser light is red and in the centre of the instrument panel, it should be constantly flashing once you remove the key from the ignition.
Avon ZV7 £45.85 195/45/16
I'm running these on my 182 , 205/45/16 and I'm happy with them in both the dry and wet, wear rate is good.

You could get 2 of those I posted for the price of 1 at ECP.
I guess it depends how quick you want the job doing.
Delivery from Autodoc takes about 1 week.
Sprayshack used to be the only ones doing the door bullets but stopped doing them about 5 years ago.
Haven't seen anybody since offering this kind of work.
I'm no mechanic but I do know that the tensioners aren't the strongest. I've gone through about 3 in the past couple of years.

My 182 is mechanically sound but most panels have a small scratch or dent. It used to piss me off when it was only a couple of years old but now I find there's no point caring anymore. Most have probably been done on car parks, with car doors and trolleys. I used to park miles from anyone else...
Ahhh I see. I thought maybe your Yozza was knackered or something.
You should be able to sell it for £300 maybe even £350 if it's in good condition. They didnt make alot of them so don't come up for sale very often.
Not being funny here . I'm just trying to get my head round the problem you're having.
So you've locked the keys in the car a " few times"?
I'm not really getting how that's possible?
You unlock the car with the plip, then put the keys in the car either by the passenger door or boot then the...
That parts fine. I knocked up my own fitting kit a few years ago using stainless parts and it's always been spot on :)

That's all I want to do, eliminate the blowing.
Mine doesn't do it all the time and when it does it usually goes away after 5 or 10 mins. I guess the exhaust expands a little bit when it's hot just enough to make it seal.
I've fucked about with it on and off for nearly 15 years lol. There's...
I've been recommended a local place that does all kinds of welding. I just wanted a couple of pics for reference so they could see exactly what I want doing.
I've got a few pics now I can show them (y)
I should have said , I have seen some, but some look better than others. I've seen some flanged ones as well but that's not what i want.
I saw one a few months ago that looked the best I've seen but I can't find that one again.
I've searched high and low on here and on Google using different phrases but i can't seem to find any decent pics.
Anybody got any good pics where the olive joint is removed and a straight pipe is welded in its place and clamped to the centre pipe?
I just want a few to show the welding place...
