I didn`t know either until some hunt smashed it & it was the wires that stopped it falling onto the road & causing more damage. On the back of the mirror where the two terminals are, you can clearly see two small bits of wire going onto the glass, so I assumed that it must be some kind of...

I found out the hard way! Good job Renault provide a few spare fuses. Ta Rich

Ill find out the hard way then.

Can someone tell me which wire goes to which terminal on the back of the drivers wing mirror glass. Theres two wires & one is orange & the other is brown. I should have looked at the wires when I uncoupled the wires from the broken mirror glass, but I was a bit pissed off because some tw*t had...

Especially on the warm days ;-) Only trouble is the motors don`t move fast enough!

ECU readout showed a missing tooth on the crank sensor & the cars being fixed as I type.

Could a loose wire to the starter solenoid cause this problem? but surely if it`s a loose wire to the solenoid then the starter wouldn`t turn at all.

What do you mean when you say it was the cylinder head Nick-89? Do you mean a f****ed head gasket? maybe I should mention that the car has only done 28k If I manage to get it started tomorrow, then i`m going straight to halfords to buy a new bike!

This is a follow up to my last post regarding the trouble I had starting my Clio. Well now it`s refusing to start, the engine is turning over but it just won`t start & i`ve got no idea what`s causing it. The immobiliser is disarming as it should & there`s only the usual lights on the dash when...

Once again, it seems to have fixed itself & i`ll keep driving it until summat else goes wrong. It`s already had a new coil pack & leads & some pricey NGK plugs fitted, I wonder what I`ll have to replace next! The throttle is slow to respond & the clutch is biting at the top, so it`ll either be a...

The dam thing refused to start when I was trying to get home from work last night, the engine was turning over but it just wouldn`t start. I made sure that no connectors had come loose & I also checked the plug leads but it refused to start. Luckily I was parked on a hill so I let it roll a...

Ah right, cheers for that, i`ll just keep saving for a 182 then. Rich

Can someone tell me if it`s just the Clio sports that have variable valve timing, or do the lower spec cars such as the Dynamique have VVT as well? Ta Rich

Well, it was nice while it lasted, the misfires back but it ain`t as bad this time & it cut out while ticking over on the drive. I`ve checked the plug leads to make sure they`re on nice and snug but I can still hear the misfire through the exhaust, any ideas anyone? I`m clueless & the guy at the...

I think so

New coil pack, plugs & leads £134.50 & so far it seems like money well spent.

I noticed mine only idles at 500rpm as well & it`s died a few times while driving, okay mines not a 182 but it`s close enough. Had a ECU readout done & it was showing a misfire. A couple of garages reckon the coil packs on it`s way out & cheap plugs are f*****g it up. Probably summat completely...

Cheers, i`ll give it a go then.

I posted on here a while back about the trouble I had getting my clio to startup & the lumpy idle. I finally took it to a garage to have a ECU readout done to try & find what`s causing it. The ECU was showing a misfire, so the garage reckons it`s the coil pack & the geezer at the garage says...

I`m not the only one, i`ve got the exact same problem & mines just done 24k. I used to use 95 octane petrol but I switched to 98 & it still plays up, but not as much. The main problem I seem to have is getting started regardless of weather conditions & sometimes it seems to overfuel & nearly...

Aye, I think I will Ta

Could this also cause it to almost stall when idling & make it lack power?

The cars still under warranty from the place I bought it from so I think its time to pay them a visit.

Basically most days it`ll start straight away, but it seems to randomly choose not to start at all some days(usually when i`m late for work!). On the good days i`ll flick the ignition on, and summat hums for about 3 seconds & it starts straight away & drives no problem. But on the bad days...

Ah, so is that why the steering is so light when i`m parking but not so light when driving? Thanks

Hi, I`ve just bought an 03 clio 1.2 dynamique & im going through that new car explore/getting used to it period & i`ve located just about everything under the bonnet apart from the power steering pump. It works fine but i`d just like to know where it is, ive looked in the haynes manual to try &...
