Mine was abysmal before I got rid, not going by the trip comp actually working it out I got 35mpg at best! I get more from my 172 ffs, although I imagine something may have been wrong with it (might have been me!).

That'll probably just be a UCH brain fart, its a Renault they happen lol.

Its a big fat grey area really, when you apply it as peperami says then no you shouldn't need to declare them and tbh its exactly the same thing. I know I don't think i'd bother telling them about the cup packs, has anyone actually had a bump and had problems with it?

Oh yeah because its our fault that water drops out the sky, f**king c**ts.:rolleyes: :mad:

You'll do well to get rid of it. Plastic cam cover and they let moisure in, no biggy yet to see one that doesn't do it.

Cool I suppose, I just hope it updates quicker than my OBDII interface for the laptop does. Most of the functions would be pretty f**king useless if it doesn't.

1.4 16v uses the JB1 box whereas the 1.6 16v uses the JB3 box, obviously better torque rating on the JB3 box. If/how long the JB1 would last pass, in relation to the ratio difference it isn't worth doing.

Now thats slightly more difficult ^ :D.

Which one you had replaced? It'll most likely be either the dogbone mount or the upper gearbox mount under the battery, both aren't very expensive.

Think thats about my cars twin lol. Looking good either way :), best 172 colour for sure ;).

The ESP light lit up too?

As i've said above its been on clip thursday and nothing and i'd bet money its not the CTS, i've seen them shot before and its doesn't behave like this.

I could be that then, but usally in the Clio when the temp sensor is shot the temp gauge on the dash will float all over the shop and it'll start running rough not just idling high. That and as it stands all is well, hence why its a very strange fault.

Nope not too bad for renault, at least the should know how to do the job properly and have the right kit.

My old one came with the top mount rubbers, never noticed they were different. It should have them afaik.

Nothing amazing, I prefer the proper analogue fuel and temp guages too. They're fitted in Ph3> so pretty much anything 04 onwards and some 53 plates.

Fuel light should come on when theres 1 gallon left in the tank or so. The accuracy of the tank float varies from car to car though in my experience.

Did you remove the two screws at the base of the stalk?

s**t hot! Coming together well now.

Wheres that? Seems a fairish price considering the work involved tbh.

Fuel consumption never changed, deffo isn't a coolant temp sensor fault as its no different when warm. Its not the battery either, healthy 12.5-13v and 14.4v when charging also it was changed 6 months ago. Its a very strange problem because it won't do it in neutral, only when you drive with...

Right, tried a new throttle body today and no change. Its also been on clip and no faults logged and reset everything and still no change. Changed the plugs from super 4s to normal bosch ones and its got slightly better, got some of the proper ngk's coming in the post sometime too. Any other...

If your going to get it changed make sure its a proper valeo one, the pattern ones aren't as good ime.

Its strange because I changed the throttle body 6 weeks ago with the same fault and it went away after that. Then suddenly its back again was fine in the morning and fooked in the afternoon.

Temp gauge is steady thought it might be that initially but the temp gauge operates as normal. Connections seem fine, have waggleded them around and can't get revs to change or any response. Has has got a spare throttle pedal i'm going to try later on tonight if that makes no difference then...

They sound about right price wise, sounds about what I payed for parts. Was a fun job too! Yes the cam/crankshaft locking tools are requied for the K4J/K4M.

Got to agree, sure the feel of the thing is better if you can live with the idle vibration but after ovalling the hole on the gearbox on the 1.6 never again.

The k-tec cf one looks loads better too imo. As for stone chips i've had mine on 6 months now and haven't had a problem with them.

Nope no leak and i'm almost sure it'll be electrical. Has anyone got a contact email for MarkM? Need to get in touch to see if I could borrow some parts off him again but can't pm him because he's banned for whatever reason.

Officially yes but I haven't bothered. It still locks on pretty tight anyway, i'd think about a new one after its been on/off several times.
