Plex and ATV3 for me.

Firstly take the dipstick out and check the colour of the engine oil. If it's been changed recently it may be clear(ish) but if not it's usually a darker colour. See if it matches the colour of the fluid you are finding. Smell it too, you can normally get an idea of what it is by the smell.

Well you were ripped off then! 1K is a massively over inflated price. Who charged that?!

You aren't just paying to get the fault codes read though, you are paying for that persons expertise. Fault code reading is ony one part of diagnosing the problem, as the faults that appear on the ECU aren't always guaranteed to be the actual issue. They may well need to do further diagnostics...

You did well gettting an ATV2 for that price! they normally fetch £200ish! Sure it's not ATV3?

I'm guessing it's not just a replacement panel.

As above, what is OEM+ about it? :S

Then you spoke to the wrong person. I had mine from Wolverhampton Renault (a trader on here) try them.

No - to time it up WITH the new belt on! Renault is your best bet for the tools!

To time it up properly, you MUST release the pulleys on the camshafts. It can't be done any other way. Ignore them who say you shouldn't do it at home, you can - as long as you have the correct tools. You need 3 tools, the crank pin, the cam horse shoe and the pulley locking tool (this is used...

I'd say it needs going to a garage where they can diagnose it, rather than blindly guessing at what it could be over the internet. Yes, it'll cost you a chunk of cash, but at least you'll get an answer. You'll probably spend loads of money blindly buying parts anyway!

Reorder the comlumns on sheet 2, putting network point in the first column. You can then use the lookup formula on sheet 1 in the mac address column. Something like the below. =VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)

Don't just chuck a litre in, it'll probably end up being over filled. Over full, is probably just as bad as under! To be fair, I would leave it. It looks about 1/4 above the min mark to me.

As above, as long as it's above min don't worry about it!

So, follow on from post #87 - The wierd boost/power delivery issue A couple of weekends ago, after having a play with a Focus RS (the guy WASN'T happy :-)) all of a sudden - boom. Loss of power and warning message on screen 'Reduced engine performance'. limped it into a layby on dual carridgway...

ThomasBrentnall You can just call in at Shop n shine, he has a unit in Heanor, It takes a bit of finding but you'll get there. One bloke (Dom) and his Mrs. Only has a small amount of stock, but seemed a knowledgable chap. I had a foam lance, snow foam and some other bits a few weeks ago.

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC Hmm, fair enough. Was just a laugh, not anything serious!

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC We don't, I just want he lolvo to be 'best' at something!

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC What sort of power is your Megane running? I'll have to go for the quietest car instead then!

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC What's my chances of highest torque figure on the day (i'm not expecting highest HP)? Are there any big power Clio's on the list so far?

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC I bloody hope so - i'm running a Lolvo!

Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC Yep, count me in. Got a couple of mates who might want to run too. Chris

its not aimed at being an Astra VXR or Focus RS beater, that's what the megane is for!

I think £3-400 is common place for a remap. My remap on the Volvo was £419, however I did gain 70+bhp and 90lb-ft torque, so felt worth it. I think if I spent that kind of money for better drivability and 2bhp i'd be annoyed! (1*2 owers!) however on the DCI you should get good results

Whatever it is, you need to figure it our before driving too much more in case it's serious!

Have you been to the new place @ Heanor? http://www.shopnshine.co.uk/ He's been running a few years but recently set up in a new unit.

I use a cheap Silverline rotary from GeeJays (local shop, you've probably heard of it) Yes, you have to be more careful with a rotary, but it gives good results.
