Solved the problem: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=3638982#post3638982

Gone into a bit of depth here but just incase it happens to someone else. Fixed it, couldn't just sit there and leave it as it was eating away at me :o. Now the revs would rise with rotation of any wheel, putting the car in reverse, or taking the handbrake off. So I forgot about component...

Its just gotten a lot worse, any movement of the wheel now triggers the electric fault warning light and put its into limp mode so its nothing to do with raising the rpm for the brake servo you could put it in reverse or take the handbrake off now and the revs will wander but only before it goes...

Don't think its that as i've disconnected it and plugged the hole to test before and no difference. Will give it a try though got plenty of jubilee clips about.

Very hmm indeed, did wonder if it might be interferance through a bad earth but dunno really. As it still does it when theres no power in the ABS/ESP computer I was thinking along the lines of as the sensors are hall effect devices they'll still generate the (albeit small) voltage pulse as the...

Also if I pull the fuses out for the ESP/ABS it seems to go to 2k and hover around there and generally be worse. But disconnecting the ABS sensors removes the problem, which I don't get surely it should go about when the system is powered down too?

Yep and cruise/speed limiter too, the last of the 172s had them both fitted as standard. Esp became standard late 52 reg iirc.

Its a problem because it never did it before and it causes the revs to drop off very slowly when you change gear. Closed loop i'd guess but then again pass. It doesn't go to 1100-1200rpm though really, is does sometimes but it'll go as high as 2000rpm at times. And it never used to do...

Leading on from: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=293279 and http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=281285 I've now discovered what is causing the idle revs to wander. If you jack the car up so a wheel is off the ground, start the engine the car will idle normally. Spin...

Yes battery off. Should always do it really when working on the cars electrics, might not be 100% necessary all of the time but its a good habit to get into.

And thats the wait you'll have to do then i'm afriad, theres no cheap and easy shortcut unfortunately :(. Could try another car in the middleground until a 172 becomes affordable?

My point exactly!, do people not think? (obviously not lol)

Its all already been said but your getting 3 times as much stuff ffs! Without meaning to sound harsh (although it will sorry) this is what I mean by I don't think you understand the weight of knocking a track car up. I'm assuming you've seen ben_p's efforts and thought "i'll have some of that"...

No, everything needs to come from the same car as its all coded to each other. Your fucked for using the standard management if you haven't got all those bits. This is what I mean by its probably not the best base to start with if your learning.

You need the ECU/UCH/Looms/Decoder Ring/Key/Ignition Barrel from donor car to get it running on the standard management. Theres no way i'd say you'll be able to repair the loom if you've got no experience I wouldn't even tackle one and i've got a reasonable understanding of how it all works...

Yeah sound about right. Post a pic up if you can, will be 100% certain then.

They very thin pads?

Just over 1k iirc.

Oh I know this but i'm just saying this probably isn't the best place to start seeing as they haven't got a complete engine as such.

Its got speedline printed on the wheel though! :rasp: lol

Nope thats a VOSA document on it.

Yep all the same.

No its a ripoff but you might have to pay it. I'm assuming you've tried four ashes renault specialists and specialist renault breakers? Would've thought one of those would have one and they'll post. http://www.cliospares.co.uk/ http://renault-spare-parts.com/

Water in the rear lights and its tracking across. This has been posted a million times, try a search first next time.

Sell it and buy another car.

Seemed a decent setup when I went to get some parts from them. Doubt you'll have any problems with them.

Should claim for some f**king common sense as well. The levels of water people try to go through astound me, its a Clio not a Land Rover is it not obvious.

Yes the are, its blatent! God knows where sparco came from, not sure which model speedline they are though.

Shouldn't do, should have 3 years. Not 100% sure on the procedure but if you ring renault you should be able to get it sorted then get it replaced.

I doubt the OE management will every run again anyway tbh, especially seeing as the loom is fucked and theres no UCH/Decoder/Key for the immobiliser. Its a nice idea ana ll but not being harsh but I get the feeling you don't really know the weight of the project, a none complete lump is not the...
