Wiring issue by sounds of it, start by checking continuity on the temp sensor wiring from the plug to the ecu.

Ill be doing the usual pizza run after the track and standing about chewing everybodys ear off on the evening before leaving for a good nights sleep in the airbnb :LOL:

Ive booked an airbnb cottage for this right near the circuit. Prob only bring one vehicle this year due to distance.

Need can clip on it to read the faults properly, probably airbag related

Looking forward to it, not done Anglesey before.

Find a rust free example, worth spending more initially. Once rust is visible on arches etc, you will be forever chasing it unless you spend a lot of money cutting it all out for fresh metal. Mechanical stuff is an easy fix in comparison.

Small update. Moving some gear about today and it will fit a set of 4x 18" wheels in the back at a push and a pair of 13" r888r. Need to move my engine hoist and measured it up, id have to tilt the seat forward or leave the back doors open to get it in as about 150mm too long for the loadspace...

It is indeed a 133 in the background (y)

Weekend update Weather pretty dogshit today but done more running in miles. First stop local Kwik Fit as o/s rear wheel was slowly losing air, the valve that was fitted when wheels were refurbed was leaking so easy fix. Absolute comedy putting it on the scissor lift almost too short :LOL...

Cheers mate. Mk2 dci is a proper dying breed now, most for sale are well past their best. Its crazy the amount of money its earned over the years on business mileage. I think im going to keep running it until the bodywork is totally shagged.

34/32 on all of my clios regardless of size. Tbh anywhere within a couple of psi of that is fine

Lively that! bet it was mega fun though. Interesting about the old rear coilovers on an angle not optimal. My kangoo rear coilovers are similar, feels soft on the rear for 70nm springs might need to look at it.

Best way to protect it, is to take it off for a decat and safely store in the cupboard and refit for one special day a year.

Labour not bad to be fair as ballache to fit all of that, id say price is fair with recon rack etc.

Awaiting reply but should be in approx 5 weeks will keep you updated mate (y)

Updates Blue dci seemed a little bit down on power recently. Stuck a new delphi diesel filter on as cant remember when i changed it last, possibly when i refreshed the rings but that was 22k ago! Also nipped up boost hose clips as they had backed off a little, seems more willing to go torque is...

Updates from the weekend Changed oil for 3rd lot of fresh millers cro mineral with new filter. Filtered drained oil and nothing to be concerned about. More running in miles done, around 150 done in total. Brimmed tank and took it for a blast up to Whitby and surrounding areas, all b road/hilly...

Cheers mate. I love the look on the compomotives. I always expect some teething issues but last few projects dont seem to have had any. Touch wood :LOL:

Might be possible to reprogram with Ren0link. You can change more than clip usually, mileage etc.

Expect a bit of spillage if topping the tank off

Saturday update Had a couple of small jobs to do. Started off by making a small cowling to go around rad, to keep the s**t out of the engine bay and to try and force air through the rad. Not the prettiest, but hidden from view when grill is on anyway. Refitted grill, bumper and arch liners...

As above as far as i know, vvt via pmw would need a cam sensor. Could always upgrade to 197 head, dephaser and vvt solenoid and run full sequential ign at the same time on standalone if you wanted a better setup. Id just make sure the solenoid is working and get it setup on the dyno on 172 vvt.

Ive had a few lightened oem r5gtt flywheels too, and had no breakages. All pre the days of billet flywheels been easily available. One in particular was scalloped on the rear and slotted between clutch plate mounting points from 7kg down to 3.6kg, i believe it was as light as the machinist...

Cant imagine a slight reface is going to hurt anything assuming its not been done before. Ive not done a 172 flywheel, but have had other renault flywheels ground no issues.

Sunday update Boxed off the last bits early am as weather was mild and dry. Replaced rubber dust covers on balljoints - pains me as they are 6000 miles/18 month old quality trw replacements that i fitted, rubber boot had totally split on drivers side and passengers cracked. Refitted driveshafts...

As @JamesBryan said. Sliders prob stuck just had similar issue on my dci, or binding piston.

Updates Weather did not turn out too bad, cold but dry so went for it. All went in very easily. Engine is complete and ready to fire, coolant bled etc. I was going to fire it up but ran out of light/needs a can of fuel as its absolutely on its arse. Not much left to do, refit driveshafts...

Small update. Decat repaired and wrapped with DEI titanium wrap. Looking highly unlikely that ill get engine in this weekend sadly. Need this sleet/snow to go! Thanks for reading!!

I have a halfords 3/8 one and agreed its spot on for the money with the tube case. Might invest in 1/2 and 1/4 for them small fiddly jobs

Snap on techangle is one of the best tools ive bought. I could do with a 1/2 click type torque wrench for wheels and that as my old britool is getting a bit long in the teeth. Thinking halfords one
