Didn’t get any pictures because of dodging the rain but changed the front discs and pads on this today. I really should have noticed this earlier but as you can see in this picture the last owner had fitted rear discs to the front. I was mm away from the pads touching and having no brakes, so...

Put a jump lead on the battery negative to somewhere on the engine block will tell you if it’s an earth fault. Immobiliser light flashing at all?

The cheap cats always end up failing, best bet is to just keep it in the garage for an mot then put a decat back in afterwards.

£400 in 2021 I actually could’ve got it for free but I felt bad for the old dear getting rid of it.

What version of the 1.2 engine is this? The area you’ve circled in white above is the water pump.

Difficult to answer, fix the timing then compression test if you don’t want to pull it apart straightaway.

If you want decent coverage and speeds you pretty much have to be on EE’s network, they basically have a monopoly at this point.

Unfortunately to most folks it’s just a Clio and finding decent buyers is few and far between. As Kyle mentioned you will get a lot of people messing you about I dunno if it’s because Clio’s are cheap but some of them are thick as s**t as well. Once had a guy turn up on a moped to pick up a...

Having stripped a few sports over the years the demand for parts other than the running gear is generally quite low, you’d struggle to give it away a lot of the time. I personally don’t think it’s worth the hassle to strip it given it doesn’t have any of the high value components on the sports.

Well for £15 I can’t lose. :ROFLMAO:

It’s the mk3 shitter and I’d have to take the whole exhaust off as it’s one piece and the rear brake lines which is a hassle just to swap the pump. If it was a mk2 it’d be a piece of piss to change I cannot fathom why Renault decided to make the access hole smaller on the mk3. Bloody French. I...

Anybody used a reasonably cheap metal sheer like below? The fuel pumps messing me around on the mk3 and Renault in there infinite wisdom decided it was a tank off job to replace. Which I cba with so I’m just going to cut the access hole larger but want something that’s not going to spark...

Sounds like you need to find a better mechanic tbh.

I assume it’s a 1.2 if so they are just press fit in so you should be able to pry them out if your careful enough.

Might want to post what car your talking about. Did you replace the turbo oil feed pipes & oil when you changed the turbo?

I assume he’s done a leak down test to confirm the valves the likley issue?

Ah then it’s probably an injector, you can swap the injector for cylinder 4 to another cylinder and see if the misfire moves to confirm that’s the issue.

Random or multiple misfires across cylinders. No codes with cylinder number as well?

Likely the lambda sensor in front of the cat it controls fuel trim. The sensor after the cat is there to see if the cats working and doesn’t effect fueling.

£25 later Bluetooth hands free and music good to go.

It can be any number of things, If you have an obd reader you can have a look and see if any codes have been stored to narrow down what to look for.

Usually indicates a destructive misfire. If it keeps doing it or the light becomes solid you’ll need to get it fixed.

Yeah if its anything like the non-turbo d4f it's an inlet off job.

Swap the plugs around and see if the misfire follows. If it stays on cylinder 3 then you can swap the injectors round to see if that’s the issue. If it still stays on 3 then coil pack.

I imagine lots of folk know this already but figured out the other day you can fit a normal hacksaw blade to a recip saw. Real handy if you need to bend round a corner slightly to get down a tight gap.

Post a picture of the sensor as I’m not sure which one you mean. If the radiator is leaking then it needs replacing. The dashboard lights indicate a fault and are putting the car into limp mode hence the poor throttle response.

Not that many really now I’ve written it down. Apple one Netflix Copilot Get prime for free through work and Disney+ free through Lloyds.

Swapped out the cabin filter. New bosh wiper blades. Fitted a new brake pedal switch as it was flagging up on the code reader. Took it for a run down the motorway, returned 55mpg pleased with that.

Maybe, but without further investigation it’s impossible to know if that’s the cause.
