Just thinking, if Renault had it on Clip, will they have the results of my CAN test from when they had it in for Diagnostics?!
if so I'll call them up and get the results and forward them onto you
If you're that confident Mick you're welcome to buy it cheap and fix it up yourself............. you'd need to arrange collection!
inbox me if you're interested!
however it will have bent valves and the head will likely be fubar'd as well as still having this starting issue, but the price will...
The engine will live on in the 182 Mick and there may still be hope for the 172 becoming a runner eventually!
would you say it's wiring loom related or engine/sensor as a gut feeling Mick?!
tbh, if you wasn't 2hrs each way and what with needing to hire a trailer it would of came to you...
Is be pissed at such a misleading advert and dishonesty if I was taking a whole day off (£220) plus fuel (£60) to see a shed!!
£3k+ it would want to be absolutely mint or a highly desirable special paint (read as LY)
£600 service?! Where?! I did belts, oils, head gasket, dephaser for sub £400...
well ive just bought a 05 182 so this will be going this week or next whether its working or not as i need the space as its a bit crowded around here at the moment! Not going to spend anymore money on it so will just be going on ebay as spares or repairs
W172 RPG = Silver Ph1 172
GN03 YOJ = Flamer 172
YM02 BUP = Black 172
BD04 DXM = Arctic Blue 182
and ive just this minute bought AJ05 KRD = Arctic Blue 182 if its anyones on here?!
Actually, this is what I was informed by my mate fiance when i looked into buying a Cat C M3 4 months back and she works for a popular insurer!
Post below proves my point!!
If it was just 'outer wing, bumper bonnet and suspension arm' it would of been Cat D.........Chassis arm and inner wing...
OP's problem if definetely hazing and not condensation........... He's my brother!
Ive got the machine poilishers, wet and dry and all the polish's you need to sort these bruv! I need to do mine now as ive got it back out of storage again yesterday!
CAT C................ Structual/Chassis damage!
CAT D........... Is beyond economical repair and usually just cosmetic
It was written off as a CAT C in 2007 and VIC checked in 2008........... What else do you need to know?!
I believe this is the other way round....... Full Fat uses the gearbox and plug you mention (well my Ph2 172 does) and CUPS get the speedo from elsewhere!
So I presume you have a 172/182 CUP gearbox fitted
The reason for my interest in this is the fact I am in the opposite predicament to the OP!

My 172 is 02 plate and has the...
The CUP looms are different as they take the speedo from the gearbox drive, however the normal 172 & 182's have the speedo plug on the part of the loom that leads to the lambda sensors!
When you say 2 white plugs near the fuses & relays, do you actually mean a white plug and a greu plug? On the...
I've still not sorted this out and ended up sticking the 172 in storage and buying another motor!
looking to get the Clio out again this weekend and give it one last go at fixing the problem!
i will be buying a new loom for sure just to rule out whether it is or isn't a break in any of the...
Decent honest opinion mate............f**k the haters!!
If anyone's going to buy one of these based solely on your 'opinion' then they're knobs anyway!
I make it not just the management...................
Class A: Mk1 2.0ltr Williams

Class C: Mk2 Ph2 172/182

Well WESTS in Cambridge have had the car and cannot find the fault! They suspect a break in the wiring loom somewhere but reckon it could take 2hrs+ to find it and they do not even guarantee finding it within that time but will happily still charge £85 per hour...................... Next up is a...
Starter seems to be fine as it turns the engine over no problem with a full battery........... however I do have a spare lying around so could try that!I took the battery off of another car Danny while its original one was on charge and still did exactly the same!
I have a 12v booster pack which...
I know and its on charge............ but should still turn over even if sluggish and that wouldn't stop the coil or fuel pump from getting a live!
Battery is only dead today............. was fully charged yesterday and showing 12+ volts and was doing the same as mentioned in OP
Also I have just been out and checked and I have continuity between both the canbus white and purple twisted pair between the ecu main plug and the white connector in the engine bay fuse box.............. as suggested in another thread
