Okay, just a brief update in order to inform those of whom may have been wondering; Exasperated with the lack of professional help and with nothing to lose given I had replaced the daily ride with a Honda I took to removing the rocker cover to immediately find the fault staring at me ; The two...

And yeah the garage that did the MOT work later supposedly ' looked at ' the fault, to spend surprisingly little time doing it to tell me a piston was breaking up, to account for the thumping noise for their advice be to look for another car.

It had a garage service in November of which included oil change. The weirdness started after the car had MOT repairs, where the only thing that should have been touched was a rear wheel bearing.

Misfiring was what I thought when there was the thumping sound emanating from the air filter housing, but those symptoms were not apparent when I took the video. The symptoms that were apparent, the valve train clatter made me think someone had been at the valve clearance adjusters and not...

Running as it was when we took the video it was a lot more balanced than when it was when the noise was booming through the air box, I was quite surprised.

Okay we have a video but the symptoms I initially reported here were not apparent when we shot the video, to only guess perhaps they may become apparent when the engine has warmed up as the video was shot within five minutes of a cold start. From the video clearly Valve train clatter, the likes...

That's a good idea, better than trying to explain the noise and action , I'll try to do so over the weekend thanks

A couple of months ago whilst driving, my 1.4 K7M engine developed a noise, a worryingly loud noise that made me think the exhaust manifold had fallen off, but no it wasn't that, but it was definitely a loud thumping noise, it seemed was actually coming from the air filter housing of which I...

PROBLEM SOLVED It was not the driveshaft but in fact the stabiliser bar, for it appeared changing a broken drop link on one side of the car was not enough, the other side of which had not yet broken needed to be replaced too and eventually was. And the 'play' I was looking for in the...

2001 Kangoo 1.4 Am wondering if the symptoms I have are the ARB itself and not the CV joint of which I notice if it's goosed it will mean new driveshaft but symptoms consist of a thumping noise from inside the car and a metallic clicking/clanging heard whilst craning my head out the window...

Yeah did that today, plenty of grease in it and it looks in good shape.

Well I fitted a new O/S ARB drop link today and this evening within two minutes of driving I hear this rhythmic banging coming from underneath for it to get worse and much worse on turning right, to conclude the CV joint appears to have locked up and yeah it has for it to no longer have any...

Problem solved Lacking the time necessary for yet more fault diagnosis, we bit the bullet and put the car into a Renault specialist to be pleasantly surprised with the phone call we received later that day, saying there is nothing wrong with the cooling system and yes the fan does come on '...

Yes, I thought it might be a wiring problem and thank you for such a detailed reply. And yes I generally search 1.4 Clio problems when dealing with snags on the Kangoo as aside from the body shell, I believe there is not much difference between the two and I have had a Mk1 Clio 1.4 to notice a...

Kangoo 1.4 Petrol - 53k miles What worked before the cylinder head gasket failed on my K7J engine doesn't work anymore and I am rather at a loss with what to do next. The radiator cooling fan won't come on when the engine gets hot leading me to scrabble for the heater controls or in worse...
