No worries, I have ODBII but it's only the basic KTEC one that requires the codes to be looked up, I know what situation you're in though, when mine was playing up I would have loved a working Clio to swap parts with to identify the faulty part lol

IMO Renault spent more on redesigning parts than they did actually designing them in the first place, can anyone think of a RS part that hasn't been superseeded/redesigned/recalled or more to the point, hasn't got a genuine problem with it? I've heard the 3rd gear crunch is quite common, and as...

Have you changed the Lambda sensor? I'd start with that and as mentioned the MAP sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure) Between these two they control the fuelling to the engine, so can cause missfires or bad idling, failing this, check all wires. It's a renault, so that WILL have corroded somewhere

Just noticed you're in Leeds pal, so am i, if you wanna meet sometime and can try swapping a few things let me know, ie relays, compare wiring etc etc, cos I have just had this problem, but mine is PH2

The engine control relays are prone to playing up on the 172's, I've just had some problems, have you checked; Relays Earth for the ECU The wires beneath the fusebox (again prone for rotting) The wiring going into the ECU Check for them being green and corroded Also if you decide you need a...

If you want it to move a lot, have you considered a stop watch? or a compass?

WD40 on them and then try a spanner, but don't really go to town with it, don't want to knacker the valve, there may also be a little tiny grub srew on one side

In other words, go kwik fit if you brush and floss twice a day ;)

Isn't that the s**t you get on your teeth lol? But yeah, do it yourself, I used Renault 5w/40 in mine, cost me £15 from dealer, £9 for some fortek engine flush off here and £4:03 for a filter, and I know it was all done right :) Thing with kwik fit and the like, they'll use what's cheap for...

Does it go under the bonnet? If so about £20

I'm guessing you could do, one thing I have been told though, is you need to be careful how you connect the wires together due to the resistance being a major factor in the electrics, this could be wrong though so could someone confirm? It really isn't that hard to just replace the wires, the...

I sholdn't be fucked, maybe just overheated, let it cool down etc and check all the wires, make sure speaker wire isn't causing a short, check the wiring into your sub as well as the amp too

Wel, I've just looked out my window so would say Speedlines from the 172 cup's, but they have too many spokes

Ebay?

I had this problem when putting 182 seats in my 172 cup, I just took all the wires out the cup seats and swapped them with the 182 wires, it's not hard and it all works bar the seat bealt pretensioner, which I'm informed doesn't work on many clio's either lol

Good to see someone has already disabled the guy for doing that :)

I guess we're talking ignition coils, instead of plugs, they are VERY prone for going on 1.4/1.6's

Ha ha, is this gonna be brushing anywhere near Burnley/Bury on the way?

Re: Trax and a piss up 5th/6th September I've just booked for this, so will hopefully meet you lot there and get to know you :)

I say take a big chip pan, and cook everyone chips :)

Don't worry, mine has one too :) lol

I had a renault key cut and coded at my local key cutting shop for £75, that included him getting the key code for me as I'd lost it!!

It doesn't sound good, really lumpy and all over the place

I'm near skipton, BB8 Cheers, I'll have a see if I can find someone :)

I've had a 172 cup for a couple of month now, and its just started really playing up. Basically it won't start, then when it does it will idle really erratically and the throttle pedal had no effect at all on the revs, then the car will just cut out. The electric and engine warning lights come...

Sub box carpet, IIRC there is a flap at the front of the parcel shelf near the seats, you can hide the wires behind that and just cover them with carpet from the speakers. Looks really tidy.

Re: Dials flicker, clocks have stopped working and brakelights wont work... help plz! Right bulbs in the holders? (Sounds daft but I put the wrong bulb in once and got all manor of crazy stuff going on)

Would it not be cheaper to drive it down the day before and sleep in a B+B? Or as mentioned, ask the dealers to swap them at your house instead.

http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/ Find the type on there, then mooch on down to your local family run car shop, and haggle the fcuk for a cheap pair :)

I'd leave the crystal black ones on :)
