Dr.Rollo is right. Lumpy cams and emissions...bad mix ;)

I store my Honda, not my Clio ;)

^ Confirmed.

I'm having difficulty thinking at the moment. Could be a speed sensor, an exciter rings...Hmm, this should be easy. I'll get back tomorow. Ian

There may be a few people who offer this on here already, but no harm in another one! I work as a techie at Renault Waters in Harpenden and my manager has confirmed to me we can offer discounted parts to members on here. We're in Hertfordshire, just give us a shout if there is anything...

You might find you need a loom extention kit with the TDC sensor also. The modern TDC's use a different shaped connector (the grooves/slots differ) but you can ''adjust'' the original loom to fit but it is not reccomended for obvious reasons. Ask your dealer about this just incase...

Or hold some frozen pea bags around the track rod arm...(joke)

It won't be a stone...It'll be a leaf. A nice crispy oak leaf... ...I collect them (joke). But it will be a leaf. Give me a shout if you need a hand removing it. HTH Ian

TRE's are not hard. It's not seized... Lots of WD, knuckle ssaver snap-on/Mac spanner will see the locking nut off fine. Unless we're talking mk1 Clio?

They're cheap cars. Word has it LHD cars are better... ''We're given the raw end...''

Check for cracks/chips on the front lens. (bumper needs to come off to get light unit out btw)

I'm Renault trained and if we get cars in with after-market exhausts, we do have a chuckle. Very often the welding is shoddy and the bends rediculous. If you're going to buy after-market, lash out all you can... It won't be gear linkage, check underneith yourself and when cold (so you...

Try the heater resistor.

Panel marked with an F? Be more descriptive. What colour is the oil? If it's black/brown it won't be brake fluid...

Hi! The cam-shaft cork's you have said, do need replacing yes. They go on the other side of the engine to the cam pulleys. The ''generator belt'' is the aux belt. (auxillairy) The cambelt and aux. belt are different and both need to be replaced. Get it done ASAP...

Is it speed related? Stock Renault units have a speed input, that make it raise it's volume when going over certain speeds.

How did you get on with this colonel?

Go for some lightweight jap rims. Some Rota Slip-streams would look awesome in black ;)

Honest opinion? ...Put it back to standard...

Ok, let me know how you get on. You'll only need an 8mm spanner (or socket and ratchet) to disconnect the negative terminal.

...Shame it was wet eh? I won't go off-topic. I think my original post was adequate enough without the milk and bread analogy's :P

This is true. But not everyone is as clued up on daily shopping lists as people like us! P.s. what track is that in your avatar?

I bet you've still run out of bread and milk though, haven't you Salami? On a more serious note, no, infact it's totally the opposite. If you get caught with bald tyres, the police man/woman would enjoy punishing you for being free on a night they are working. Or, if your brakes go metal to...

Haha! If you're tight and can't afford fresh pad material yeah ;)

It probably needs a couple of keys re-programming. Only other thing I suggest you try yourself, is dis-connect the battery for 10-20minutes to let various items discharge. Can sometimes cure bogus faults like these...Or, a key-reprog is on the cards at least I should imagine (assume...

There will be more sufficeint guides online how to check these with pretty diagrams, but a simple check for both would be: - Tyres - Each tyre will have a legal tread wear indicator on them and these can be found in the big grooves running round the circumference of the tyre. If your tread...

By lift up, I assume you mean 'tilt/slide' for rear passenger access? If so, lift the handle up and look underneith it. You will see one single Torx20 screw. Undo this and easily remove the handle. Then, two further T20 screws are holding the base of the handle down. You should see the cable...

TIMMAAAHHHHH! Welcome :)

No problem. Sent you a Private Message with the code. If you need a hand in entering it, or if it's wrong get back to me. It does describe how to enter it in your handbook/radio handbook. P.s. have you had your cambelt changed? Your car was registered in September 02, which means it...

Clip is indeed the diagnostic tool for Renaults. I will find out tomorow a little more about the ESP system and get back to you. No probs, Ian
