    Rotary Switch - Red & Black Horn Wire replacement?

    Update for anyone else with the same problem. Had it done by a local garage... £120 inc Vat for the part - clock spring was how they referred to it. Hours labour for fitting. However... once installed the ESP warning light came on, and the garage had to take the car to Renault to get...

    Rotary Switch - Red & Black Horn Wire replacement?

    The red and black wires in the steering wheel have shorted, and the insulation has totally melted! It's not possible to separate them and insulate them from each other, because the insulation's gone all the way back to down the column. I think that the whole rotary switch needs to be...

    Misfire - changed lots but it's still there!

    I'd like to add, I'm not getting at Renault here though, went there with my eyes open. Their labour rate has to support all the showroom overheads, so thats what you're paying for unfortunately. Next time will look for an indy... cambelt etc... but by the time you need one, it's often too...

    Misfire - changed lots but it's still there!

    Swindon.... ...and you were right. Thanks for the advice. (If i had more time, I would have done the checks you advised - but the Mrs needs the car on the road so it had to go in). Renault found a problem with one of the injectors. They wanted to change all 4 for £600. (plus the aux belt...

    Misfire - changed lots but it's still there!

    OK... in case anyone is searching for the same issue here's an update. I put the car into Renault today to get the Aux belt done, and diagnose the misfire. Don't think Renault found anything useful on diagnostics. They tried changing the spark plugs, and it wasn't that. They did a compression...

    Misfire - changed lots but it's still there!

    Yeah, no more new parts! Had tried to work through the parts in a logical order, but it hasn't worked. Question is... Renault garage or find someone with RS Tuner??

    Misfire - changed lots but it's still there!

    Done a lot of searching already but obviously a very common problem with lots of potential causes. If i could get some feedback on the comments below that would be great. Had emissions light come on solid periodically. But it goes off so had ignored it. Misfire started gradually e.g. on...

    Intermittent misfire - I'm gonna scrap this soon I'm at my wits end

    Hi Locust Did that fix the problem - I think I have the same issue. Got a misfire - changed plugs, leads, coil-pack, o2 sensor. With the ignition on, the throttle body only opens fully when the throttle pedal is at 100%. e.g.10%, 20% etc no movement.... 100% springs to WOT.

    what exhaust you got and how do you rate it?

    I have fitted an RS192 recently. Now it's bedded in it has a deeper tone, but isn't very loud over standard really. Fitted well enough, I didn't spend long lining it up so it needed a cable tie to pull it central. One of the threads for the bolts that hold the bar between the silencers...

    Flaps under 182 bumper

    What are the two grey holes, with flaps for under the bumper, into the boot. Is this for air flow out of the car, or sound in???
  14. Amy R

    Fitted my Magnex :)

    Looks good... definately need to get mine higher!

    RS192 Fitted

    I used cable ties to pull it central and up... i'll give them a tweak. I'll see about vids in a bit.

    RS192 Fitted

    Milltek say to use brasso, or silvo or something. It does feel like it's made from quite thin sheet, and the silencers are made by two end plates welded around a T-joint to the sheet that forms the body of the can. All the welds look fine but you can see on the welds where the heat has...

    RS192 Fitted

    Initially we thought it was loud.... but its not really - just deeper. Suits the car. Most difference is the tone 2k - 3k rpm, then at the top end it's got more grr. Dual carriageway its not that much noiser than standard when cruising. Can still talk and listen to the radio etc. Can't...

    Yozzasport V KTR exhaust

    I fitted an RS192 this week.... and i'm glad we went for what everyone says is the quietest one. Haven't been out properly (MOT tomorrow) but it is noticably louder than standard and if you want a quiet exhaust i don't think you'd want to go any louder. Delivery was within 2 weeks even...

    Exhaust fitting guide

    Turkish: We couldn't figure out how you'd get it out in one peice without dropping the beam! Took <2 hours anyway. Rear silencers were getting wedged between the floor and the boot, while the centre section was stuck on the beam Powey: Scorpion RS192. Haven't driven it yet becuase the car is...

    Exhaust fitting guide

    Did it tonight.... Jack would only go as high as the lowest point on the axel stand.Took bumper & wheels off to let the beam go lower. Managed to get the old exhaust out in one piece. New one went on really quickly. New exhaust is slightly on the piss, but i'll give it some time to...

    Exhaust fitting guide

    From what i've read it seems to be a bit tight to get it out in one go. Mixed opinion in other threads but sounds simple enough to do it anyway.

    Exhaust fitting guide

    I've got a new one coming... seems to be. Remove rear bumper Loosen bolts on bottom of dampers Jack up rear (HIGH!) drop rear beam (disconnect dampers) Undo all mounting points Remove exhaust (poss flip it upside down to get it out) Fit new exhaust - exhaust sealant around cat clamp...

    Longest original RS back-box in terms of mileage?

    67k and failed MOT for major leak.

    MOT Fail - Mid & Rear 182 Exhaust

    Presumably no insurance because car isn't road legal. Have seen a thread on pistonheads where someone got 3 points/£60 for no MOT and they didn't mention insurance... but if you had a bump and a claim you know the insurance co would wriggle. Can't renew tax either.
