I had a few questions on this car. 172 repainted front bumper to start with and then the power figure claim.....but oh well Although not 25 years old you can modify some paperwork to try and get a car into the US if you want to run the risk. I recently exported my V6 to its new owner in...

Used a kit - it still leaks but a lot less. Kit is pretty easy to install.

Busy times for the Jean Ragnotti: Cambelt + Dephaser + Pulleys + Crank Pulley Aux Belt + Tensioners etc. Sump Pan Gasket Gearbox Selector Leak Engine + Gearbox Fluid Changes Disc & Pads All Around Plugs New Wheel + Tires + Spacers Studs Engine Mount + Gearbox Mount Bunch of Cleaning etc. Just...

Something else to consider in this video to compare how similar the sound it.

The chirpy squeak from a failing thrust bearing is quite similar to the alternator sound when they are failing.

Ah okay - tricky to pick that up in the videos. As far as a squeak noise, I have seen that before when alternators are on the way out.

Are you referring to that occasional clacky sound?

Exactly, always the rear right brake caliper that causes engine or belt failure....

100% - Same with all this Renault stuff When I hear use a specialist - I think well i'm special.... When I hear use genuine locking tools - I think a coat hanger and some mole grips will be fine Pedaling and scaremongering at it's finest these days. Unreal

So the work begins on the 172 Jean Ragnotti.... Suspension is HKS coilovers on the front and on the rear Aragosta shocks with Swift springs - Interesting combo! I was going to do the belts on the car but on closer inspection they look mint so should be good for another 5 years maybe 10

Correct! That is my old Exclusive and had some exchanges with Edwin about the car and his plans. It has been very cool to see the car again and being brought back to life and shown some love. And, yes it still has my CS sticker!

@Yeti_runner I'm based in Calgary Alberta and do travel to Houston semi frequently and have some Renaults (Clio / Megane etc.) I have Renault cam locking tools for cambelt changes etc. so let me know if you are ever in need. I also have a bunch of parts stock piled and can assist with...

The next French nugget that is on it's way to Canada. It's an RS Clio 172 Jean Ragnotti Edition - Basically a 172 Cup but LHD about 300 were sold in Europe and 30 in Japan this is Number 25 of 30. Has 50,000 miles on the clock and in lovely shape.

The new daily - 2010 X-Trail GT (2.0 Turbo Diesel) 6-Speed Manual - 41,000miles (66,000 km on the clock)

I swapped the OEM ones out when I got car when I did the first service. Keep a couple of the OEM ones in the glove box just for longer trips.

So after 7.5 years of ownership and 7,000km added to the old girl - It is overdue a cambelt, so that is one of my winter maintenance activities. Hopeful to chip away at it over a few weeks and should have the locking tools arriving in a week or so. Have some other items to address like a...

Renolink is a little more intuitive than the CLIP software and doesn't limit you on operating system etc.

Didn't even think of it that way! Normal service will resume shortly!

Under Clio III / UPC(EMM) / USM Diag Rev 2.1 (X77,X85) I had a much more limited menu compared to your Kangoo one unfortunately. The image below I'm not connected to the car but shows what I have under UPC.

I've tired ddt4all it's a minefield of French words - but I'll give it another go! Appreciate the help.

These are the my ECU "types" when performing the full scan to find the .xml files that relate to my cars info. I've been through all of these and have not found anything to do with clutch depress to start or similar. With the Renolink software do you have to open an .xml file or is there some...

Looks like for renolink within the UCH configuration there is no option within any of the sub menus to change this - Seems really odd as there is a clutch switch on the pedal that is connected into the main harness.... The UCH module when scanned showed "BCM: X85 et J77(PPP3, V2, PSP, PS, PP)"...

RESOLVED - You can use a good quality scan tool to access the radio under "special functions" and perform a reset and choose the region.

Thanks I'll download the ddt4all and use my ELM327 cable / OBD2 dongle to make that happen. Is the ddt4all pretty much download and go? Is there a library for Renault that needs to be installed separately?

I need to the car to only start when the clutch or brake is depressed - It's a vehicle requirement here in Canada My car has a normal key not a card. Can I use the CLIP to force this options (i.e. clutch into start or brake to start) or would I have to faff around with installing some kind of...

No joy unfortunately

On the Clio 172's and 182's you could hold down 2 and 5 as you powered on the unit and it would access the master menu. This does not work on the pictured unit below - Is there a trick to access the menu that allows you to change the region? Or how do you do a hard factory reset of the unit so...

Normally the cars are cleaner on the underside and looked after well. Service history is normally very limited from Japan aside from the shaken inspections (every two years) kind of like an MOT but more stricter. I would pull a CarVX report which may give you more info on the car on it's time...
