to be fair I've never tried running without it but it detects the cabin temperature and adjusts the climate accordingly so i assume it needs to be there! You could relocate it though!
All you need interior wise is the temp sensor in the roof panel at the light, the controls in the car along with obviously the heater matrix and heating box etc.
exact same issue on my 182 van, was rear left ABS sensor
worked as normal above 5mph including kicking in when required, no lights on dash, looking at live data on diagnostics showed it wasn't reading any speed though
Love a Clio RSi! good work, ive always been a fan of the standard wheels just because they are so different! although OZ F1 are the best looking wheels for a ph1!
cup chassis would be a must for me purely due to the LSD. Both for performance and resale, surely keen drivers looking for a hot hatch don't buy these without an LSD????
they do but I liked to keep the oil flowing through mine until the temp had come down although to be fair i always drove it sensible for the last few miles before I was turning it off!
As above brake cleaner, 5l will be well more than enough for even the worst oil leak and costs about a tenner from the factors, get a pump action pressure sprayer and just spray the s**t out it.
Yeah mine has all of the above but not the keyless entry, and it has the correct carbon centre console but without the space for a button so i assume it just have been an option or something. One less thing to go wrong i suppose as my mrs has a terrible track record with key cards lol
yeah my understanding is that the climate control was standard on them along with the full leather and the silver bits on the outside.
Mine has electric folding mirrors which i think were a £100 option
Oddly enough even as an 09 plate it has a key where my 57 plate R27 had keyless entry, what...
Welcome RödErik,
a 2005 will be electric PAS, everything apart from the RS was electric PAS from PH2 2001 onwards (from what I can remember!, the 1.2 definitely was!)
Yes you can simply remove the belt to the AC compressor and you will be fine with that. They can get a little noisy when they run...
Ramair in the bin!!!
Much better, I can drive it without feeling embarrassed every time I try and speed up to catch a green light in the middle of the town.
Gearbox next 😠
FFS.... spotted it on eBay with 20 seconds to go, a quick read of the description and a bid in with a few secs to go and it was mine for £3k, was that a good price? I'm sure the next few days/weeks/months will clarify that!!

Picked it up on Sunday, my 3 concerns were the 3x...
Mate, all your electrical systems shut down as they do when their is a power issue
The starter clicks, as they do when there is a power issue.
You had to bump start it as you do when you have a power issue.
What is the voltage when it's running? It should be 14v. If it's not, check the...
Why was the alternator changed recently? it will 100% be the battery either going flat or dying so it can only really be a fucked battery or the alternator not charging it.
in my experience you get, in this order:
ABS/ESP/Serv light on
Stereo goes off
speedo cuts out
power steering dies
lights...
It's 100% power related as that's the systems just shutting down 1 by 1.
When you say the alternator was brand new where did you get it? Was it branded or a cheapo?
