I see what you mean now! ? I don’t think you can go far wrong with just punching Brecon into the sat-nav from Snowdonia and go whichever way that takes you. The main roads down from north wales are prettt epic.

I know I sound like a party pooper, but I think not having a defined route planned will put people off parting with money booking hotels and making the long trip. I don’t live in Wales full time anymore, but I’ll put my name down as attending the Brecon part, if I’m back that way. I only...

@Brigsy, mine came out easy too. Worth doing. Mine is back to starting on the button now. Just soak them the day before with wd40 and get the engine warm before attempting to take them out.

Someone on here would save it! Don’t let that go to the bin!

Also, If it’s using a bit of oil, have you thought of putting some thicker competition oil in? Like a 10/50 or something. Obviously it depends on what you mean ‘using oil’ if it’s just 500ml or something between oil changes, then I wouldn’t worry.

Someone filmed a little clip of the 197.net drive over the Brecon Beacons a few years ago. Worth a little watch for you to have an idea of the roads.

Its not something I would do personally, I’ve heard of some stories of it stripping seals etc, if it’s too ‘abrasive’ Just use good oil with protection properties and good fuel (if you can) and just drive it.

Point A is a central point with restaurants/fuel/hotel/McDonald’s etc. But if you’re coming from North Wales, a hotel in Brecon/north of Brecon,maybe even Builth Wells would suit you well to stop at. Then start the route above (in the pic) on the next day.

This is 90 miles and 3 hours of driving alone, without photo stops/fuel/regroup. That would be a good days driving IME. By the time you drive some roads, like the black mountains 4-5 times. Then you could go back out and do another day of driving through some epic A roads within the...

@MrBlonde

Hi guys, Just stumbled across this thread. I used to live not far from the black mountains. I think it’s best to plan a proper route IME. I’ve done plenty of driving days out in the past, it’s best to have a planned route as you will no doubt lose people along the way, and need reference points...

Ahhhh jeezzz, sorry to hear this rare find DCi is becoming an utter ball ache. There must be a worse case senario and be able to just swap barrel/door locks and ECU? I’d skip the whole fault finding in between and save the hassle. It’ll probably be cheaper too, rather than spending chunks in...

Can you just confirm your bundle of cars please? ?? we’ve lost track of what you’ve got ??

Where’s the best place to find the gates catalogue? :)

?

This is what I’ve thought too, if it’s not caused any issues so far, then I’ll just leave it and make the plug more secure.

I’m just outside of Oxford, what about you?

This is how I’m thinking too, I’ve been told it’s an easy cambelt to do, but I’m quite nervous because that’s one thing I’ve never done before.

Ohhhh..! I see what you mean now. I’ll check the fuel filter then and get a new one if there’s no sensor plug on this one. At least I have a good starting point now to investigate ??.

I’m wondering why it’s been taken out? Broken clip?

Can you expand on this for me please buddy? ? should it be plugged into the fuel filter then? Should I have issues with it in this state with tape over it? Lol I didn’t take the tape off, just in case I caused an issue.

Cheers buddy! I have no idea what that link even directs me towards for the sensor ? I’m assuming it’s a broken sensor that’s been taped up then..? Seen as it’s still a Renault part.

Another little update: The battery and STOP light has been flickering over bumpy roads.. A quick look and it seems the battery wasn’t even clamped down or tight, luckily the clamp was still there. On investigation though, there’s a plug that’s been taped up and a vaccume pipe of some sort...

How much was the belt change? :) Need mine doing.

Cheers for the information buddy :D I am tempted to give the cambelt a go myself, I keep putting it off for a garage to do. I do have a week off work soon, so I might have to dig out the tools and CS guidance lol ? it’s the only thing I’ve really stayed away from doing, cambelts always get me...

Cheers buddy! The plan is to get ontop of maintenance and I’ll do more digging into the performance side of things. Should be a little hoot with a bit more power!

I’ve got a soft spot for this shape

It’s not a thoroughbred Clio, if it doesn’t do this.. lol

Thanks for the info buddy! I may be in touch if the wiring is there then! :) Do you mean the square panel where the light adjustment is? @td_dan

@Filters ive just found this thread. :)
