Hi, I have just replaced my clio 172 engine as the cam belt died on it. I have replaced the engine and I am now having immobiliser issues (I think)! :( Is there anyone willing to lend a hand and help me diagnose what the issue is. Im a bit desperate so any help would be greatly appreciated...

I think im going to ask on the forums for some help, as its probably easier to diagnose when your next to the engine...if anyone lives near me. Thanks again for all the help and ideas, its much appreciated!

Thanks for the advice Mick, I will take that onboard! I don't want to do the same job twice so im going to take it nice and slow, check and double check everything. I hopefully will do it right first time !! :D

Yeh im assuming some of the valves will have bent...but im not sure how many. As it happened when idling I may be lucky, but probably not! Im going to take the head off this weekend to see the damage.

Hi, I bought a clio 172 a few months ago and the cambelt failed yesterday :( I will be fixing the car myself and im going to be a bit cheeky :p and ask if anyone would be kind enough to lend me the Renault tools...... :D I'm based in Suffolk Thanks Adam
