update:
steering wheel is fixed - actually the squib was fine, and i refitted it, the clock spring thing, not fine, and had shorted, and melted slightly so unplugged it, and all now seems ok with steering
the lack of power in all gears after 2.5k rpm is also now ok, i removed MAP sensor...
Which bit is the squib and which bit is the sensor
What was the long tape like thing that unravelled ?? It was a bit of a surprise - like a huge clock spring
Ah ok - wow this is complex - thought changing the wheel is relatively straight forward - was on my old xr2 - yes it has abs button - I’ll try that see what happens - so turning abs off would in theory cure this ? What’s the fix if it is this ? Is the clock spring that huge long band of wire -...

any recommendations for discs and pads for track use? I was recommended Tarox grooved / vented dics and also Carbone Lorraine RC6 Brake Pads - are these any good, best part of £500 for these by the...
Hi all, so I've only just returned to Clio ownership for over 20 years, managed to get myself a lovely 182 Cup ( factory cup ) in RB and absolutely love it. I also bough the new Team Dynamic TD 1.2 LT wheels and Toyo888R tyres for track days. Going from the factory 16's and rubbish Chinese tyres...
